Evaporated Cane Juice!

[Guest guest]

I am sick- I usually buy coconut water from Whole Foods- it has nothing in it

but coconut

water. Well, today, they only had a case that was mixed with pineapple juice;

so I asked

them if it had sugar or additives in it, to which they answered that it was just

pineapple

juice.

So we're in the car- the kids want one- and I (stupidly) let them each drink

one. When I

get home and am unloading, I look at the label, and not only is there ascorbic

acid, but

there is EVAPORATED CANE JUICE! I swear, I was on the verge of tears after

working so

hard to keep things " legal " .

I gave them a dose of GSE, and a tablespoon of coconut oil (to kill the little

buggers that

are probably celebrating as we speak), and will hold off giving them their

yogurt and

probiotics until tonight. My question is, has anyone else had this sort of screw

up, and

what happens when " illegal " stuff is eaten? Does it ruin all the work to date?

Do we have to

start again? Or do we just watch their symptoms and proceed as usual if

everything looks

good?

You've got a very smart SCD kid there!

Others may have additional suggestions, but I

think you've taken the necessary first steps.

Watch the behaviors carefully and if it seems

warranted, back off to more easily digested foods for a few days.

I would be inclined to take the pineapple juice

back to Whole Foods and return it. No need to

make a fuss. Just tell them that you were

incorrectly told that it did not contain added sugar, and it does.

I’m interested in the responses… I wonder about that day which must happen

to everyone sometime.

But…what is GSE and What does coconut oil do?

GSE is grapefruit seed extract; it has very strong antibacterial properties.

However, you

need to be cautious what one you buy; Nutribiotics is the only one that I know

of that is

only GSE; there are some other less quality ones that have a chemical

preservative in them

that also has antibacterial properties, but obviously that is not what we want.

Coconut oil is anti-viral and anti-yeast, in addition to being super good for

you. There is

alot of info at the Weston Price website (www.westonaprice.org)- like the GSE,

it is

important to get a good one. We use Wilderness Family Naturals, but there are

other good

ones that I am sure this group could recommend. We use it both as a supplement

and to

cook with.

So my thought in using both of these was to kill any opportunistic

bacteria/yeast that was

excited at the prospect of evap cane juice...

Hi Tracey,

<<I am sick- I usually buy coconut water from Whole Foods- it has

Sorry to hear that you are sick.

Water from green coconuts is not SCD legal. I have had other people

tel me offlist that they have been using this. Green coconuts aren't

ripe and the water and/or flesh from them can slowly make SCDers sick

since it can feed the nasties.

Some just wait and see and respond to symptoms when and if they

come. I like to be proactive though and find a day (or more) of

intro will help to flush that stuff out of the body faster.

<<My younger said to me " see mom, just like you always tell us, you

Yes, even with foods that are normally okay the labels should still

be checked because companies often decide to " fiddle around " with

their ingredients to sell more product.
