Hi Allan

Please forgive me if my question seems naive, but what exactly is pectin? I know

as soon as You tell me, I will go ah!!!

Right now my daughter could live off of apples and Peanut Butter if I let her.,

and I have not been peeling them. So, that has always been a sign to me that if

they LOVE it, they probably shouldn't have it!

Thanks for keeping the newbie's in the loop!!!

Hi , Hi ,

I thought I'd put in my two cents worth.

Our experience has been that the only

fruit we've ever had problems with has

been apples. (I guess we need to keep

reminding ourselves to cut the peels off

thickly enough to eliminate the pectin.)

Our Gen has trouble with any more than one

apple per day. Otherwise, fruit has been

his favorite treat! (He's even requested

a decorative fruit platter instead of an

SCD birthday cake when birthday time

came around.)

With honey, we've had enough trouble

that we went and found a nearby beekeeper

who sends us a jar every so often. I suspect

the large brand honey companies no longer

know what goes into the honey they pack.

(Most of it comes from abroad now, and

so it makes it a lot more difficult for them

to keep track of the various different pro-

ducers, and quality. )

The bottom line for us has been that

if something has gone wrong, it usually is

because we've forgotten something in the

protocol, and need to review the material.

Vigilance! Starve those nasty gutbugs!

Christy, Pectin is naturally occuring in apples, near the skin. When it's

added to foods it makes them kind of gel. So any added pectin is illegal.

After saying that though, since your daughter is new to the diet, everything in

the beginning is to be peeled, seeded and cooked. She shouldn't be eating raw

apples yet. Remember what the body can't digest does harm. She could be

wanting it because it's feeding the bad bacteria. About peanut butter, this

shouldn't be eaten (if ever) until very much later on in the diet. Pearl
