Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Chia or Chai?? -UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD From: tigermoon@...Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:09:14 +0000Subject: my introduction Hello, I am new to this group. I have had IBS off and on throughout most of my life. It seems to be triggered by stress and I'm guessing that's what triggered my latest bout of chronic diarrhea, which has been nonstop for nearly a month. I've just been reading the SCD food lists and most of it will be easy to adapt to. I am already gluten free, and have now stopped eating millet and quinoa, and rice cakes. I stopped cow dairy a long time ago except for ghee. I have made my own goat yogurt for many years, but now I am starting to let it work for 24 hours. I need to get a good batch of compliant microorganisms. My question right now is about chia seeds, which I do not see on the food lists. I grind them very fine and mix with my yogurt. Does anyone know if these are legal on the diet? thanks for being here! Your E-mail and More On-the-Go. Get Windows Live Hotmail Free. Sign up now.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 That's Chia seeds; tiny little seeds the size of poppy seeds.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have no clue. I was quoting Marilyn - thus the link I provided which is cut out of your response - and she is away at some filk thingy.

Why are they okay?>> StaceyI could be wrong. Is it necessarily lignins themselves (or alone) that are a problem, or the actual seeds (for a lot of people), because in general seeds don't break down easily and are thus are hard to digest. Though, admittedly, that could be because of the lignins! Lignins are what make vegetables/fruits crunchy, what gives them fiber, and fiber itself is not digestible (which doesn't automatically mean it's bad). High fiber is obviously a problem for some people here and not for others.If the seeds are ground is that a problem? Not as much, I would think. n>>>> >>>> 1) Are Chia seeds ok?>>>>>> No -- most seeds are heavy in lignins.-- Now available.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I was hoping that grinding the chia seeds very fine would make them ok, because I thought I remembered something about flax seeds being irritating to the gut due to the hard shell. What is it about lignan that is bad? Feeds the bacteria?? > >>>> 1) Are Chia seeds ok? > >>> > >>> No -- most seeds are heavy in lignins. > > > -- > Now available.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 More:http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/flax_seed_and_flax_seed_oil.htmFlax seed is illegal. From Elaine: "lignin is found when the whole seed (and its stiff coat) are ground up. I think it is harmful for people just starting out on SCD. I think some bacteria feast nicely on lignin - it is tough like bark."Flax seed oil is legal. From Elaine: "The oil itself, in very small amounts, (and one will have to reduce the prescribed dose by at least 50%) may be helpful." On SCD, without the groundup almonds, I would highly doubt if one would need a supplement of these oils. The huge amount of supplements being pushed are questionable as to the fact that they may be doing as much harm as possible good.I was hoping that grinding the chia seeds very fine would make them ok, because I thought I remembered something about flax seeds being irritating to the gut due to the hard shell.

Seeds of any kind can be quite advanced, and it's not recommended that you use them at the beginning of the diet. All seeds are heavy in lignins which are difficult for us to process. If you are looking for Omega 3s, go with salmon oil. Flax OIL can be used, but you do have to be careful with it as it goes rancid easily. (Get the refrigerated kind.... Barleans is a good one.) 0 — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they okay? It depends on the type of the lignins and how much. Just back from Atlanta, and too tired to research much this evening, but I wouldn't be surprised if the lignins in strawberries are due to the seeds and in tomatoes due to the seeds and the skins. We de-seed and cook vegetables and fruits when we are first on the diet. So why would adding seeds like chia seeds be legal? — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
