Hot Dogs

[Guest guest]

We are thinking of camping out in our backyard tomorrow night with a

little fire. Since we can't do marshmellows over the fire, I'm

thinking of turkey hot dogs from Applegate Farms. My son has been SCD

for 10 months now, and we haven't tried any brand of hot dog yet. Does

anyone have a suggestion? As a matter of info, I did call Applegate

Farms and they said that the hot dogs are sugar and starch free (in

addition to gluten and casien), but I'm always skeptical...

Thanks for any input,

First of all, I'd would make them put it in writing. Secondly, if the

ingredient list says anything like " spices " , " natural flavors " , ect., then it

cannot be trusted. I have to say that even commercial manufacturers are not

always informed about their ingredients. For example, if it has garlic powder

or garlic listed as an ingredient, they didn't dry the garlic themselves. The

person you spoke with very well has no idea that the company who provides their

garlic powder puts an anticaking agent in it to prevent clumping...and that this

agent is a starch.
