I'm not Misty, but thought I'd jump in here and share my experiences.

I generally pick up Sunsweet prunes, and I think they also make a legal prune

nectar, or did the last time I looked, which was several years ago. There are

other brands of prunes available as well.

Just check the package labels and make sure no illegals or unwanted

preservatives were used. Some dried fruits are coated with corn starch to keep

from sticking, or use a sulfite preservative that causes issues for some. The

prunes I buy are often sticking in clumps, but are easy to separate.

By the way, I couldn't touch a prune or any other dried fruit until my 4th year

on SCD. The prune nectar constipation protocol was off-limits to me. But by

then I'd gotten my candida levels under control, and my sugar levels didn't

fluctuate as dramatically when I used dried fruit in my muffins. I don't snack

on dried fruits because my digestion can't handle the fiber and density, but

muffins work OK.

Thanks,Kim, but I'm still confused about Sunsweet prune juice. I have read

recent posts that say it is not legal, but several posts from a couple years ago

say it is OK. There is no explanation given as to why it is no longer legal.

There are no illegals on the ingredient list. Do you know anything about this?

(I copied two old posts from Pecanbread below - I believe from 2008.)

Hi ,

Prune juice doesn't fall under the same umbrella as other juices - it

is more like tomatoe juice ie: if the label looks okay then it is fine

according to Elaine. (It is because of the manner in which prune juice

is manufactured). I double checked and the knudsen organic prune

http://www.knudsenjuices.com/products/detail.aspx?

groupID=9 & categoryID=55 & flavorID=172 & productID=242 looks okay.

Hi, Sahm,

I would say you can trust the prune juice (prune juice only!). Elaine

had no recommendations for a particular brand that I know of and I do

believe that prunes are so sweet, no one would add more sugar.
