Italian Canned Tomatoes (San Marzano)

[Guest guest]

I'm reading the Eat Well Feel Well cookbook by Kendall Conrad (with a

foreward by Elaine). All recipes are SCD compliant.

In this cookbook, Conrad says that cooking with Italian canned

tomatoes is okay because European canning laws state that ANY sugars

must be reported on the label. So--if the label says no sugar, then

no sugar. She uses these tomatoes in lots of her recipes.

My question is, does anyone on this list use them, or are they still

sort of forbidden? I want to use them in a recipe for my husband's

birthday, and I'll use them in a dish that my son will not eat. I'll

eat it though--I'm nursing him, but I'm symptom-free.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I noticed your post and have a question, sorry no answers...you said you were

nursing your

child....have the doctors encouraged you to breast feed or is there a formula

that would be

as good a breast milk? (as far a gut issues?) should the mother be on the

diet also if she

is breast feeding....do you know of any information that would give me more

info on this?

Carol F. has requested a written letter confirming that there are no

sweeteners or illegals added. Until it arrives it is safest to use

fresh or frozen tomatoes.
