GUIDELINES FOR THE PECANBREAD LIST

[Guest guest]

Due to the recent conflict on the list, I am reposting the list

guidelines and asking all members to re-read them.

Let's please return to polite, civilized discussions that center

around SCD and how to implement it effectively to help people with GI

issues.

Thanks!

GUIDELINES FOR THE PECANBREAD LIST

1. We ask that people familiarize themselves with the book " Breaking

the Vicious

Cycle " , by Elaine Gottschall (henceforth referred to as BTVC) and the

website

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info before posting questions to the list.

This is

due to the high volume of mail on the list and repetition in questions

that are

answered easily in the book or on the website.

2. We also ask that people familiarize themselves with the website

for this

group, www.pecanbread.com before posting to the list. The website is

full of

valuable information such as recipes (90% of which are dairy free and

some that

are egg free), questions on how to transition a child and difficult

issues like

picky eaters, etc. Again this is due to the high volume of mail on the

list and

repetition in questions that are answered on the pecanbread website.

3. Elaine and the list do not support modifications to the diet in

BTVC being

proposed as a general rule for all on the diet. Every individual will

find

certain foods are agreeable or not agreeable and, using common sense,

these

adjustments can be made by each individual. Modifying the diet for

the general

public is not endorsed by the author or this list.

4. To assist the answering of questions we ask that people sign their

e-mails

with their condition and length of time on SCD. Also if pertinent to the

question asked, any information regarding medications and/or

supplements etc.

that will aid those responding.

5. Please trim posts appropriately. Again, this is due to the size of

the group

and volume of daily mail. Untrimmed posts use up our archive space more

quickly.

6. If you feel your post is Off Topic please put this in the subject

line, " Off

topic " or " OT " , out of respect for those who do not have time to read

through

all posts.

7. Discussions and advertising of alternative diets, illegal foods,

treatments

that are not recommended, or other subjects that are not part of the

science and

practices of SCD are not allowed on the list. This does include

references made

in the body of an e-mail, subject lines and signature lines.

This rule is done to protect those new to SCD and to avoid confusion.

8. Trolls and trouble-makers will not be tolerated on this list.

Again this is to protect those who are coming in good faith to this

list for

guidance and support.
