Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Sharon, does Tom know about your crush on Alan? Or is that passe'? I don't want to open my big mouth! Well, just to eat.

Proverbs 17:22 Reply-To: Neurosarcoidosis To: Neurosarcoidosis <neurosarcoidosis >Subject: HiDate: Sat, 25 Aug 2007 18:18:44 -0700 (PDT) Hi everyone, I know I have been posting about the retreat, so I would like to update everyone, so you do not call Tom by the wrong last name. My last name is Schuckman and has been for two years. Now for all the prayers I am asking for; it seems our town has decided toget around the eminent domain issue by way of the state of Wisconsin, asking for a two feet easement of our front yard for widing of Highway 45 which is Main Street. The irony of this is they want to pay us one dollar for the two feet easement. Tom and I measured from the foundation of our home to the street edge of the side walk and it is exactly 15.5 feet. This is not much since the widing of the street involves 50 of our neighbors and this will put the semis, dump trucks, emergency personell as well as the regular traffic at the first step of our door stoop. We do not want to loose an arm when we go to our mail box which will also be affected, so we put the house up for sale. Now for the real kicker, when Tom bought this house, he did so with a VA loan, well anyone knows that the VA will not approve of a residence zoned business. The house was rezoned for business after Tom bought the house and done so without his knowledge. The same time we put the house up forsale, we looked at a house in Kenosha, exaclty what we were looking for. We put an offer on this house and then Tom made a counter offer. We are now waiting on whether the counter offer will be accepted. We did this on a contingency that we sell this place. So, I am asking for prayers on the selling and buying of the two homes. I do not need any more stress on me with my Sarc. Sharon L.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 , mine is the same minus the cranberry sauce, but load up on stuffing, and gravy, I fix a gravy boat for the table and one for meJ I like dark turkey too, I put stuffing, turkey, and a little bit of potatoes on my plate then flood it with the gravy, yum I can’t wait. It’s my favorite meal of the year! I was listening to someone on the radio and she said her family had a Turkey dinner in September with all the fixings, because that is the dinner he son requests every year for his birthday, what a great idea, so I think I will ask for that in March. I use to get a turkey lunch when my husband worked across the street from a perkins, they had the best gravy, and I would tell them the same, flood the plate. OK I’m ready to eat.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Sorry so late, but I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I haven't been doing so great, so instead of running around visiting all the relatives, we stayed home and had our own dinner. My husband, thankfully cooked, believe it or not! lol And I did some Christmas shopping on-line. It was a relaxing day and it was the first time we stayed home for the holiday with just the kids in like 20 yrs!!!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi all, I recently decided to start the SCD Diet, though I've already been more-or-less lactose free, low grain, and totally soy-free for a year. I have two concerns, however. First, what about a soy-free miso? I'm lucky enough to live in an area where I can purchase a small-batch, commercial miso, made from adzuki beans (also, I don't see these on the list, though I understand that they have some of the simpler sugars of the legume family). Miso is broken down by Kojiken, a specific fermenting strain used in Japanese food. The kojiken releases many enzymes that aid digestion in addition to the normal work the fermentation process accomplishes. As a result, miso makes all the amino acids and vitamins naturally occurring in legumes hyperavailable. Also, I have been eating Kombu semi-regularly and find it's ability to gently detox is unmatched. Although I'm no biochemist, it doesn't seem like Kombu has any starches in it. Why are seaweeds blanket illegal? Has someone found specific seaweeds more or less harmful than others? Lastly, the legal/illegal list, although great for an average diet, is kind of generally inadequate for someone who regularly goes outside of the normal western diet (e.g. what about paneer cheese? Is this the same thing as " dry curd cottage cheese " ?). Is anyone thinking about/working on a wiki or something like that, where we could have maybe more than one line of info for each item (e.g. I assume there are brands of " apple juice " which are closer to the requirements of " apple cider " as well as vice versa), plus add new items? Thanks! Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I can not speak to the miso question or seaweed, I can tell you that paneer is not the same as DCCC. Paneer is made simply by boiling milk and adding an acid like vinegar or lemon juice until it curdles. The liquid is then strained off and the curds left are then left to drip in a cloth then pressed. Because there is no enzyme/bacterial action on the milk, you are just basically eating a solid form of liquid milk with all the lactose intact and the proteins intact. There is a couple of ways to make your own DCCC if you can not find it available. You can just drip the SCD 24 hour yogurt or you can take the same SCD yogurt and warm it very gently until it curdles then strain/drip (you would also lose the good bacteria this way--which won't matter if you are going to cook/bake with it). The latter gives a slightly dryer 'cheese.'I will say also that although you feel some of the things on the legal list can be beneficial, you need to keep in mind that the good they might do a healthy person, might not equal the same good to someone with gut issues. It might provide some good, but provide more harm to make it overall not beneficial. After you have been free of symptoms and had no flares for a period of 1 year, then Elaine says one can try illegal foods to test them. At this point you are trying to give yourself a good point from which to start healing. Sometimes even legal foods cause problems and it is best to cut out all illegals so that you can know what is causing a problem. Starting with the intro diet and then slowly adding foods in will help you see what works for you and what doesn't. I know it is a long, slow, tedious process, but really worth the effort.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 20 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD <BTVC-SCD >Sent: Sun, March 7, 2010 8:21:43 PMSubject: Hi Hi all, I recently decided to start the SCD Diet, though I've already been more-or-less lactose free, low grain, and totally soy-free for a year. I have two concerns, however. First, what about a soy-free miso? I'm lucky enough to live in an area where I can purchase a small-batch, commercial miso, made from adzuki beans (also, I don't see these on the list, though I understand that they have some of the simpler sugars of the legume family). Miso is broken down by Kojiken, a specific fermenting strain used in Japanese food. The kojiken releases many enzymes that aid digestion in addition to the normal work the fermentation process accomplishes. As a result, miso makes all the amino acids and vitamins naturally occurring in legumes hyperavailable. Also, I have been eating Kombu semi-regularly and find it's ability to gently detox is unmatched. Although I'm no biochemist, it doesn't seem like Kombu has any starches in it. Why are seaweeds blanket illegal? Has someone found specific seaweeds more or less harmful than others? Lastly, the legal/illegal list, although great for an average diet, is kind of generally inadequate for someone who regularly goes outside of the normal western diet (e.g. what about paneer cheese? Is this the same thing as "dry curd cottage cheese"?). Is anyone thinking about/working on a wiki or something like that, where we could have maybe more than one line of info for each item (e.g. I assume there are brands of "apple juice" which are closer to the requirements of "apple cider" as well as vice versa), plus add new items?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I think the problem with the seaweeds is that they are mucilaginous, not a discussion of this or that starch in them. Also, I have been eating Kombu semi-regularly and find it's ability to gently detox is unmatched. Although I'm no biochemist, it doesn't seem like Kombu has any starches in it.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is from Elaine's site www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info The SCD™ Knowledge Base Mucilaginous Polysaccharides Elaine writes: Seaweed is high in polysaccharides. It may be called a " sea vegetable " but it sort of falls into the same category of okra (at least, as far as SCD™ is concerned), and also herbs like marshmallow and slippery elm. Slimy, mucilaginous substances are often prescribed by some who think the " coating " properties are helpful to the intestines. They aren't. We who have compromised guts cannot digest this stuff - but our bugs can have quite a party on it. Carrageenan and Seaweed Elaine writes: Seaweeds are forbidden because of the abundance of research dealing with carrageenan, a seaweed. Two researchers, and Marcus, upon investigating a pharmaceutical made out of hydrolyzed carrageenan, found that the tiniest miniscule of it in the drinking water of numerous laboratory animals caused ulcerative colitis. Seaweed is high in polysaccharides. It may be called a " sea vegetable " but it sort of falls into the same category of okra (at least, as far as SCD™ is concerned), and also herbs like marshmallow and slippery elm. Slimy, mucilaginous substances are often prescribed by naturopaths who think the " coating " properties are helpful to the intestines. They aren't. We who have compromised guts cannot digest this stuff - but our bugs can have quite a party on it. ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
