Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Mimi, I keep seeing on Pecan Bread that Inositol is a sugar alcohol, and illegal. While it's true that most things ending in OL are sugar alcohols, and therefore illegal, according to Healthnotes.Info, " Inositol is part of the vitamin B-complex. It is required for proper formation of cell membranes. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply find it very odd that since Elaine has us take B vitamins, she would specifically exclude part of the B-family. Not to denigrate your Dan doctor, but does HE know what inositol actually is? My GP didn't. Because most doctors aren't trained in nutrition. Not only that, the Freeda B-complex which Elaine herself developed with the head of Freeda has inositol in it. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yes my DAN doctor knows that inositol is a sugar alcohol and that is why it is scd illegal. It feeds the bacteria. There is actually an article written by Elaine on yahoo titled Digestion-gut-autism connection and she lists inositol in the article as something you do not want to take for the reason mentioned above. It does state very small amounts may be okay and maybe that is why the vitamin you mentioned is okay. --- " Wizop Marilyn L.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi Marilyn, You are right about Inositol being legal. Where in pecanbread is it listed as being illegal? The www.pecanbread.com site does not list inositol as illegal in the supplement section. http://www.pecanbread.com/new/Sup1.html I am suffering from extreme exhaustion and have taken a temporary leave from my position at Pecanbread. I have a huge amount of things that I must do. The only reason that I recently helped the list was because there was a shortage of help on the list during this weekend. When someone declared Inositol as being illegal, I was too tired to think..... I have learned something valuable: stop helping the list when you are too tired, Thank you for clarifying this issue, Mimi > > I keep seeing on Pecan Bread that Inositol is a > sugar alcohol, and illegal.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Here is an article of Eileens that states inositol is illegal. I just wanted to make sure that I posted it so no one is taking something illegal. I am by no means an expert (only doing this for about a week and a half) but everything I am finding says it is not legal. I don't want to debate just want to make sure we are right. --- pecan post wrote: > Hi Marilyn, > > You are right about Inositol being legal.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi Marilyn, <<I simply find it very odd that since Elaine has > us take B vitamins, she would specifically > exclude part of the B-family.

She also said that a little in a supplement like the Freeda vitamin is okay, but that taking large amounts of the commercially produced Inositol powder was illegal. see this thread: http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages? id=255347#255347 It seems that Inositol is both a part of the B vitamin family *and* is a sugar alcohol. " three sugar-alcohols (arabitol, inositol, mannitol " from http://www.atmos-chem-phys.org/7/4267/2007/acp-7-4267-2007.html and from From http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/sugaralcohols.html: " ...For your reference, less well-known sugar alcohols include: Galactitol, Erythritol, Inositol, Ribitol, Dithioerythritol, Dithiothreitol, and Glycerol. " Inositol is found in many SCD legal foods, nuts etc. In the same manner that sucrose in beets is okay, natural inositol in SCD legal foods is fine. A problem arises when people take large amounts of the commercially prepared suagr alcohols.
