Thanks for the info everyone! I didn't see the other thread about the "2% rule" before posting my question, so sorry for the repeat!Tonight I'm going to have my first pre-made item on SCD...tomato sauce. Someone has a letter saying it's okay, but I'm a little nervous. It will be going on my first ever SCD pizza! Hopefully all will go well :-).Holly HurstCrohn'sSCD 12/01/08>> > > > > > Question: Is the 2% label rule real or just a > > > myth that we perpetuate?

There's a folder which contains the (very few) letters which people have

obtained for the products which may be SCD-legal.

Just be careful not to go crazy thinking about "omg i'm eating this and it might have an effect" i've eaten plenty of store bought items like bacon, cheeses, tomatoe paste, crushed tomatoes ect. and never had a reaction. O recently bought cento brand organic chunky style crushed tomatoes with basil. Taste is good and no reaction. Same with most brands of crushed tomatoes with basil. Makes a decent pizza sauce too ( not the chunky style though)I'm just saying don't psych yourself out! or at least try not to... good luck!-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 7 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 5 pills a dayTo: BTVC-SCD From: scdhelps@...Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 15:33:55 -0800Subject: What tomato sauce is it? was: Re: 2% Rule
