Theprocess of fermentation converts sugar to ethanol (alcohol), so evenif a winery uses sugar to sweeten their must in order to raise thefinal alcohol level (which is not that common), that sugar would begone by the time the wine is done fermenting.The exception to this rule are wines from areas that are not known forwinemaking. I live in MN, and most wineries here sweeten their winesheavily with sugars before and after fermentation, simply to improvethe taste.Rule of thumb, if a wine is a well known (like Burgundy, Cabernet,Pino Noir, Merlot, etc...) and is listed as Dry, you should be able todrink it with SCDiet. Even more so with red wines from France, sinceFrench seem to really look down on sweet wines and always produce very dry, residual sugar-free product. If you have an affinity for sweetwines, I recommend meads (honey wines), but you really have to call winery and make sure they limit their sweeteners to honey only.Yan Kravchenko SCD Mojitos- Place several (apx. 1T or more) mint leaves in a glass- Squeeze in the juice from 1/2 Persian lime (regular lime, not an itty bitty key lime)- Add honey to taste (I use about 1T, maybe a little less)- Using a wooden spoon or muddler, smoosh the above ingredients together until the honey dissolves- Add ice to fill the glass- Add 1-2 oz. white rum- Top off with soda water and stir-EnjoySCD Margaritas (Mock Cadillac Margarita on the Rocks Serves 2)Squeeze juice from the following into a container:- 2 Persian (regular, not key) limes- 1 lemon (Kathy likes Meyers if you can find them)- 1/4 orange- In a separate container mix 1/4 c. honey and 1/4 c. water to make a simple syrup- Stir until the honey completely dissolves- Add the honey syrup to the citrus juices- Salt the rim of the glass (if you want salt)- Add ice and 2-3 oz. tequila to your SCD-legal sweet and sour mix and stir- Squeeze a slice of lime into the drink- Enjoy!SCD Strawberry Daiquiris (Serves 3-4)In a blender combine the following:- 1 c. fresh or frozen strawberries- 4-8 oz. of white rum (depending on how strong you want them) is Legal- Apx. 1/4c. honey to taste, and ice- Blend and enjoy!(Note that strawberries are generally considered an advanced food due to the seeds.)SCD Lemon Drop (Serves 2)- Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon into a cup- Add apx. 1T honey and 1T water and mix thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves- Pour into a martini shaker filled with ice along with 3 oz. vodka- Shake and pour into chilled martini glass- Garnish with lemon slicesQuestion: Is it the Wine?http://www.healingc row.com/dietsmai n/scd/wscd/ wscd_39.htmlHi everyone. I just wanted to write a cheerful message because I am feeling so good. So many of you have helped me more than you know, so I felt it would only be fair to share my good results recently!I have been doing better and better. I had gotten myself into another flare recently and was really scared. I have pulled out of it now with flying colors. I credit my recovery of course to the diet, but particularly to a huge SALAD everyday. I realize that eating raw vegetables is usually problemsome for most of us, so I am not recommending this for anyone. But my usually problem is not diahrea, it is more like constipation, where I am straining and struggling, almost like giving birth, just to have a BM. I talked to my GI doctor about this recently and told him that I have been eating a huge salad everyday thinking that my problem with the constipation stems from the fact that since my colon is inflamed, it is more narrow than it should be, so less BM is able to come out, hence my struggling. My struggling would get so bad that I would throw up and then blood would be dripping into the toilet. Anyway, he actually agreed with my on my thinking and thought salad was a good thing. Well, it is. And aside from that, I have been drinking two glasses everyday of dry red wine. I must say that I really HATE the taste of wine, but I do like the calmed down feeling it gives me. It helps me sleep at night and makes me less anxious. And beyond that, drinking the wine coincided with my feeling better and better, so I am not about to give it up. I have also been eating a lot of yogurt using the stonyfield as a starter. I had been eating a ton of yogurt (actually that is about all I was eating in my flare) and unfortunately I think it aggravated the flare. But now that things have calmed down, the yogurt is doing great with me. I eat about two cups a day..and use some as my salad dressing. My BMs are truly trophies right now. Yes, there is a bit of blood but I am not concerned since that is usually the last thing to go away. Anyway, thanks to everyone who guided me on the wine and everything else. I enjoy you all so much and appreciate all your help!Elaine writes:That wine is magic! I can remember Dr. Haas telling me to give it to eight year old Judy and I did and all I can do is pass on this wisdom. With some of you people, a smaller percentage, the nerves really get that adrenalin pumping and shunting that blood with oxygen and nutrients away from the gut. The liquor did the trick and that is why Dr. Haas told us to give dry wine to our 8 year old with her meals to relax her.The SCDâ„¢ Knowledge Base Wineshttp://www.breaking theviciouscycle. info/knowledge_ base/kb/wines. htm writes:The exact level of residual sugar in a wine is measured and provided to us from each supplier in a quantity of grams per litre. This level is then compared with a table to see where it lies to indicate the sugar code. The table is as follows (0 is the driest):Grams Sugar per litre Sugar Code0.0 to 4.9 - 05.0 to 14.9 - 115.0 to 24.9 - 225.0 to 34.9 - 335.0 to 44.9 - 445.0 to 54.9 - 555.0 to 64.9 - 665.0 to 74.9 - 775.0 to 84.9 - 885.0 to 94.9 - 9Etc.One's impression of a wine's sweetness is sometimes influenced by the grape variety used in a particular wine. This may occur when a wine is not properly balanced between acidity and sweetness, or if a wine borders on either end of the sugar scale, making it appear that it is off by one number. As well, a typical Riesling may seem sweeter than indicated due to its fruity taste. In contrast, a red tannic wine may seem drier than indicated due to the bitter, mouth-drying characteristics of tannins.Put the name of your wine in you can see if it is listed and if the sugar content is "00" which would indicate that it is very dry and suitable for SCD. Also if you want you can enter sugar contentof "00" and a type of wine (for example Austrailian Red Table wines) and get a list of wines to look for at your local liquor store.http://www.nbliquor .com/prod- search.aspSheila Trenholm sheilat at nl.rogers.comThe SCDâ„¢ Knowledge Base Alcoholhttp://www.breaking theviciouscycle. info/knowledge_ base/kb/alcohol. htmElaine writes:Alcohol in dry wine and other products is made from grain, but none of the starch is left. The yeast used in making wine, as well as enzymes in the grains, when mashed and left to heat and time, change the starch and sugars into alcohol. Since alcohol is only a short two-carbon structure (as compared to starch and disaccharides- see diagrams of many sugars each with 6 carbons X the number of sugars in the chain)(Page 3 in BTVC) alcohol can be absorbed very quickly through the stomach or upper small intestine, and we need not worry about any of these calories getting down to where bacteria waiting for something to eat and make babies. However, if starch and sugars DO get down to the lower gut and are fermented by bacteria and yeast into alcohol or short chain fatty acids, then we have problems.But as long as it is absorbed up high AND NOT TOO MUCH we are OK on SCDâ„¢.============ ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ====== See your Dr. ____________ _________ _________ _________ _________ ___Loving Care, Gay Surgery '75, CD '94,SCD '97, No meds.
