Questions before I Start

[Guest guest]

As I prepare to start SCD, I'm replacing my supplements

with SCD legal ones. Currently, I take Nordic Natural

for omega-3. In previous posts, it seemed that it was

illegal because of rosemary extract. Is that because extract

means that it contains alcohol? The rosemary part is legal.

Also, the vitamin E portion comes from soybean oil. Does

that make it illegal? I'm a nursing mom and need all the

omega-3 I can get as pure as I can get it. My local health

food store assures me that Nordic Naturals is the best.

Are there any legal Nordic Naturals or something real close

to purity and quantity of omega-3?

Why must the honey be clear? Contamination with pollen,

propolis (bee collected sap from pine trees), bee parts?

Do the sugars change when it crystallizes?

Finally, I'm nursing our baby, need to eat a lot of food,

and am often hungry 15 minutes after I finish eating. Is

it possible to be on the SCD and nurse a very hungry baby?

Thanks,

Beth,

the rosemary extract does not make your NN product illegal. Lots of NN

products are legal. Is it the Ultimate Omega? I know that one is

legal.

Vitamin E from soy oil is legal.

Honey must be free of pollen, etc. so that is why it must be clear.

This does not mean that honey that starts to crystalize is illegal.

You can just warm it up and it will be clear again.

I hope some people who have nursed will respond. I know it is

possible, though I haven't myself.
