How about meringues? The packaged liquid egg whites with nothing added

are legal. I use " Simply Egg Whites. " ( I live in Ontario, Canada)

Crisp and Crunchy Meringues

Basic method:

Beat the egg whites with an electric whisk, until very stiff. Gently

warm the honey until it becomes runny.

Drizzle the slightly warmed honey into the egg whites, while beating

continuously.

Gently fold in the other ingredients, then pipe or spoon the mixture

in small blobs onto a greased baking tray.

You do not need to actually BAKE them, instead you dry them out. Oven

temperature: 120 degrees Celsius, until the blobs are crisp and dry.

This will take a long time - at least an hour. Then turn off the oven

and allow the food to cool inside - this adds even more drying time.

MERINGUES

• 3 large egg whites

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup honey

• 1/2 teaspoon SCD-legal vanilla

You need to butter the pan and make small meringues.

Welcome to the group Budsmom,

For those with gut inflammation SCD can help tremendously. We

generally suggest that people start with the intro diet and then slowly

add in foods. Small amounts of each food until you know it is

tolerated and then gradually increase the food. The foods you add in

after the intro should be easy to digest for the injured gut - peeled,

and cooked vegetables. As the gut starts to heal the body will be able

to tolerate more variety and more complex foods. There's a bread

recipe at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/files/

" Nut free diary free bread " that is pretty easy to digest if he

tolerates eggs. Just add whatever vegetable (s) he tolerates. I

really like it with ripe avocadoas the vegetable.

<< ALSO, isn't block cheese used on this diet? Is that considered a

> product with casein in it or low in it? >>

Cheese does have casein. In the back of Breaking the vicious cycle

(BTVC) p180 legal cheeses are listed. They are very, very low lactose.

Homemade SCD yogurt also has casein in it but the casein structure is

easier to digest than the casein in cheese. Goat yogurt is the easiest

to digest. Also legal goat cheese is easier to digest than legal cow

cheese.
