New member, Ontario Canada- sprouted grains?

[Guest guest]

Hi there. I have been told I have moderate dysbiosis by a EDS

practitioner. I had a full dental revision last year at Dr.Huggins

clinic in Colorado and thought we lived a fairly healthy lifestyle.

We have an almost 6 yr old son and almost 3 yr old daughter. We

juice, sprout, eat organic, don't eat junk, we've been about 95%

unprocessed foods, and also gluten/wheat/soy/dairy/yeast/corn free

for a couple years now after we found out what foods the kids were

sensitive to. It really showed behaviourally thru my kids even back

when I was breastfeeding.

Anyhow, this practitioner has suggested a SCD to heal my gut issues.

I bought the book today and have been reading the Pecan bread site

end for end. Wow, looks like I should apply this to the whole

family. I bet my children have gut issues too!

Now one thing she did say, was that it was ok to eat grains ONLY if

they were sprouted. She said sprouts were fine. However, I can't

find any information on sprouted grains at the pecan website. Can

someone offer me a site that will explain if this is ok, and why or

why not? However, she also mentioned Ambrotose was ok, however, I

see that it is listed as an " illegal " !

To start off, it's just going to be me tackling this, so I can get a

handle on it, of course I'll just make extra of everything I make

and the kids will eat it along wtih me - we homeschool and live in

the country so that part should be easy ;-)

I look forward to finding some short cuts to 'getting' all of this.

has anyone done any 'meal planning' weeks or months that will help

newcomers?

thanks in advance

warmly

Sprouted grains are the most digestible form of grains, but they are not legal.

They might be the ideal way to reintro grains if you go off the diet after you

are free of symptoms for 1 year.

Sprouted grains are not allowed as they contain the food supply for the grain in

the form

of carbohydrtaes that are not the right kind. You may prefer to read about SCD

legal

fermented foods on the Pecanbread website.

http://www.pecanbread.com/new/fermented1.html

Many doctors who approve of SCD are not totally familiar with it and insert

their own

protocols and treatment preferences.

, I am in Toronto. If you need sources for SCD things anbd also check out

this

website for local SCD in Southern Ontario.

The sprouts are legal the seed pod is not.

Here is what Elaine wrote about sprouts:

" Re: new mom with some questions.... 2003-07-24 18:48:00

<Elaine Gottschall

....why are been sprouts not allowed whereas soaked only beans are?

From Elaine

Bean sprouts are OK if you just use the sprouts and get rid of the

remaining seed pod (remaining seed pod contains starch which the

plant has not yet converted). The sprout contains only the correct

sugars - even plants cannot grow on starch - it has to be broken down

so that the " bloodstream " of the plant will accept the glucose and

use it for energy for growth. As the beans sprout, their own

digestive enzymes convert the starch to legal sugars. "
