Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 I know this has probably been covered before, and I read some of the posts in the archives concerning poultry. But can someone give me a rundown of when buying meats, what you can consider to be OK? One question is ground beef. Are there any illegal things to be on the lookout for? With the chicken, if it says it may have retained water, is that OK? At the store today, I could only find Nature's Promise...they were out of Bell & . We used to buy ground turkey and prefer that over beef, but it says it has natural flavorings, so I stopped buying it... but how do I go about getting legal ground turkey? I've also read all the posts about bacon, but I'm a bit confused. Somewhere I thought I read Gwaltney without sugar was OK - but it lists nitrates in the ingredients. Are nitrates illegal? I did see that our local grocery store carries prosciutto that only lists pork, salt, and pepper as ingredients. When can something like bacon or prosciutto be introduced? Thank You!

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi, Diane, First regarding bacon--SCD does not call nitrates illegal, so they are not going to cause the gut bugs to thrive. However, it is generally known that nitrates are not healthful and many parents of kids on the autism spectrum are trying not to use them. So the fried prosciutto is definitely a healthier alternative. The one you listed sounds ok. At day three, it is too soon. Bacon will be " down the road " . I would introduce a wide variety of peeled, cooked, de-seeded fruits and vegetables, and probably the nut butter before I introduced bacon. For other meats you want to read labels and ask questions. There should be no additives in the meat, except water. I think the one with the " retained water " is ok. I hope someone who buys legal ground turkey will tell you where. I tried to get my supermarket to grind chicken for me and they said they weren't allowed to. Some people grind their own. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I want to say I agree with about nitrates. For one, they aggravate my arthritis and in many people they cause problems like headaches and other things that could be confused as food reactions. There is also a relationship between consumption of processed meats and incidence of childhood leukemia. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez Search for ID: 8167267 I too hope someone will tell me where to get ground turkey! The packaged stuff at the store has flavorings added. Well, I used to buy that stuff before SCD and I can tell you the flavoring did not help at all. Plain ground turkey is flavorless and blah. B.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Diane, I get the ground sirloin patties at Costco. I am pretty sure they are just meat. I've never seen a ground beef with an additives list. I get Tyson chicken breasts at Costco. They come in big bags and the breasts are now individually wrapped in plastic (they used to not be wrapped within the bag). On the ingredients list is only kosher salt and water. But many people have told me that you really have to check, that a lot of Tyson's products have added broth. You can't have any kind with added broth or flavorings. And yeah, I can't find ground turkey either. Someone told me on my blog that there is a legal prosciutto at Costco. I am going to look today. I responded to 's response about nitrates so you will see that. B.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I found the legal prosciutto at Costco today...it is out of my price range (SIGH). I just can't pay $16 for 12 oz of meat. Even ground chuck/round at more than $3 a pound is too much for me to spend. I hope the Costco chicken is not bothering me. With me, it is hard to tell. I hate being poor sometimes. I just think ahead, to the raise I am promised and that better job on the horizon!! B.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi, I've bought ground turkey from the butcher at Whole Foods on more than one occasion. I see it there most times. Maybe they don't carry it all Whole Foods...?
