Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi I am wondering if the following are legal and/or ok to add in initial stages (I'm in 3rd week now) of the diet: 1. Ginger 2. Turmeric (as powder from an Indian store, and they don't tell you about additives -- couldn't find dry turmeric) 3. Cumin 4. Coriander Also I see basil, thyme, mint, cilantro, mustard seeds (for seasoning), green or red chili are all legal -- can I sprinkle them on my fish before grilling it or season it with a spice bag, say in the chicken soup? THanks, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turmeric (as powder from an Indian store, and they don't tell you about additives -- couldn't find dry turmeric)well it's easy enough to get turmeric w/out additives in a regular supermarketif you are wondering about it. Do Indian spice retailers typically add additives to it or not? Or retail them pure?That's how I would approach it. 3. Cumin4. CorianderI added spices back in really early and was fine with them all. So you can try and see if you are all right with them or not. Also I see basil, thyme, mint, cilantro, mustard seeds (for seasoning), green or red chili are all legal -- can I sprinkle them on my fish before grilling it or season it with a spice bag, say in the chicken soup?Well, I did. But that's me. And everyone is different. Etc. Which translates as try it and find out. As for the chilis, in one theory, chilis are actually good for people with UC because the capasicin is a natural anti-inflammatory. (And also a natural agent in fighting tumors, so it's a naturalanti-carcinogen as well.) http://vitamins.ultimatefatburner.com/cayenne-capsicum-review.htmlhttp://www.chilipeppermadness.com/chili-pepper-health-benefits.htmlhttp://naturalmedicine.suite101.com/article.cfm/natural_antiinflammatoryIn another theory, in some people with IBS, it can increase the number of daily bowel movements and lower pain thresholds for people.So, if you are having a problem with D, it may be best to holdoff on chilis for a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepperThough it certainly doesn't effect everyone that way.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 What about lemon/lime juice? The pecanbread lists lemon or lime as Stage 4. I have been squeezing some juice on while grilling meat to make it palatable. Is it ok?

But.... for those of us with nightshade sensitivity, chilis or anything from that family (potatoes, tomatoes, all peppers except black, and eggplant) produce the most ghastly pain imaginable. And it does damage, too. So, we try these things and see which way we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tolerate it, it's okay -- citrus can be problematical for some if used in quantity -- for instance, in lemonade. But a few spritzes of juice on your meat shouldn't be an issue. — 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...
