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.

mucilaginous substances are often prescribed by naturopaths who think the

" coating " properties are helpful to the intestines. They aren't. We who have
