Kosher and SCD--Yahoo group

Do you keep kosher and also follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet? Come join a

group specifically designed to help! Let's share recipes and ideas for Jewish

holiday foods, and support each other on the path to complete digestive

wellness!

The fine print: this group is for people who are following the Specific

Carbohydrate diet as outlined in the book " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " and who

also follow the Jewish dietary laws. If you would like more information on the

SC diet, please visit http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ and read Elaine

Gottschall's book. If you would like more information about keeping kosher,

please see http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm (among many, many other sites!)

Mazel tov on the new group, Ellen,

Although I do not keep Kosher it would seem it is not difficult to do while on

SCD.

Thank you for the encouragement, Carol. Having thought about it an awful lot

over this past year, I can definitely say that following SCD on top of keeping

kosher is (at least for my family) difficult. So many main course recipes for

SCD combine meat and dairy, which is a major " no no " in kashrut, and the

standard go-arounds, like using margarine or soy milk are, of course, not

allowed.

I do feel kind of " tossed by the waves against the rocks " many times: either

something is kosher, but not SCD-legal, or is okay on SCD, but isn't kosher. So

it sure is nice to talk with other folks in the same boat!

Thanks again. And, for anyone who missed it the first time, the Kosher SCD

group is at:

There are meat recipes where mayo can be used in place of yogurt.

Example. When I " bread " chicken, I dredge it in mayo before shaking it in a bag

of almond

meal. Vegetarian Lasagna is just as good as meat. Use a lot of mushrooms for

volume.

Putting froaen fruit through an Omega Juicer makes a frozen dessert that seems

to have

cream in it yet is only fruit. I thicken things by adding a litle almond flour.
