Re: Fermenting - Nourishing Traditions SCD - Thank you everyone

[Guest guest]

Many thanks Suzanne, and everyone! This is all so useful.

I will definitely be cautious about acidosis (thanks very much for

sharing your experiences Suzanne). I'll also avoid using any starter

kits.

The Healing Crow website and Yahoo group Judy pointed me to have got

just what I was looking for (SCD + fermented and also informed by

Weston Price/ " Nourishing Traditions " ). I'll study this so I can make

sure the fermentations we try fit in with SCD, good bacteria etc.

I'm so pleased to hear your comments on " Nourishing Traditions " . I

think I am finally beginning to understand about what is _good_ food

and also how to cook. (But yes - this isn't an SCD book so you do

need to just take from it what you can or to adapt things).

Thanks again everyone

Sandy
