Please tell my why Peanut Butter is a No No. It's on the legal list and in so

many recipes.

Now I could start to get a little overwhelmed if I feel Like I have close to

nothing to feed her.

I believe our Dr. Suggested this diet for the yeast over growth. But My

daughter's issue with leaky gut subsided with GFCF diet but I know what we are

doing is helping b/c she is going sometimes twice a day not loose either, than

every other day.

[sPAM] Re: Fruit and honey

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, please don't feel overwhelmed about the peanut butter. Peanuts are

really a legume and therefore they are later in the diet. Try an easier to

digest nut. I have cut and pasted from the pecanbread website. I left the part

about cashews in here because it is relevant. Pearl

Cashews are a starchy nut, beans or peanut butter are not as digestible as

other permitted nuts. Cashews also contain powerful enzyme inhibitors. We

strongly recommend you delay the introduction of cashews for as long as

possible. Beans, even those properly soaked and pre-cooked, have the major

disadvantage of containing too much starch and are another food to only be

introduced when a child is in the advanced stage. The same principle applies

to peanuts, which are actually legumes, not nuts, as are beans Again, please

reserve peanuts and beans until a child is well advanced. Peanuts have other

disadvantages. Peanut allergy is more common than tree nut allergy, so much so

that it is now restricted from many schools and is even being removed from some

commercial products. Peanut may also provoke gut reactions and cause GI

distress. There is even a possablity that brain function is better on days when

no peanut items have been consumed.
