Hi Jeanne,

Sorry, seed flours are not legal:

Hi :

I can't understand why they are illegal, the answer to the question wasn't

very clear to me. Don't we need to have fiber in our kid's diet? Sorry, I

don't get it.

Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to add, what else is there if I can't use nuts or seeds? What

about bean flours?

Thanks

Hi Jeanne,

The answer to this one isn't as simple. See Elaine's

comments from www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info:

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_a-c.htm

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/bean_flour.htm

You might want to search the archives for people's

experiences with bean flour.

Hi Jeanne,

I don't know any more than what Elaine said, but it

looks like she was concerned about the fiber coating

on the seeds feeding the bad bugs if we consumed them

in large quantities.

Maybe someone else can answer the fiber question. It

seems I read somewhere that fiber is another one of

those myths we've been sold by the food processing

industry.

As far as alternatives to nut flour, there are recipes

for breads made from just eggs or eggs and winter

squash. I can't eat nuts so just skip bread-type

products, but I know that's not so easy with children.

And as healing continues, there's always the hope we

will be able to tolerate nut flour in the future!

Elaine allowed a sprinkling of seeds when GI symptoms are gone. When

you grind up seeds for flour, you are using a huge amount. There is

cyanide in the outer part of seeds. You are not only getting too much

fiber, but also a whole lot of cyanide.

Jeanne,

You don't say how long your child has been on the diet and what his

issues are, but I think he's been on SCD for over a year. When

symptoms subside, you may be able to use bean paste (considered

advanced) as a substitute for flour.
