vitamin C!.....Thank God for this list....I guess we now buy SALT FREE! Because

these

companies are not going to get it..... and here is something I wanted to share

that we

learned after making MANY exhausting phone calls last year...it is very

disappointing so

get ready:

Would you believe that i was constantly saying SCD was gluten free without also

realizing

the importance of being STARCH free where specified on our diet until Elaine

explained

that I had been flying blind for too long and it was high time I learned the

difference. I

never forgot after that. Starch in your collars, O.K., in your tummy? NOT!.

You may note that gluten is sticky stuff. It makes bagels distinctive. They have

an elastic

dough. GF breads that are labeled Gluten Free use potato starch and rice flour

to attain

volume.

To be safe, use what is specified on SCD and don't spin your wheels with the

rest or what

was before ----just get it out of your life. One year after the last symptom is

gone you

may want to try a small amount and decide if you really had to give up anything

that was

so special.

Once I started making crackers out of cheese, I stopped missing flatbread. Jodi

also taught

us to make good crackers but i never bothered.

When I think " gluten " , which is almost never, I visualize " glue " sticking my

poor intestines

together.

This was answered earlier this week.

Beleine's sea salt from France is legal (at Whole Foods and supermarkets)

Kosher salt is legal, coarse but disolves just like regular salt. Nothing is

added)
