Anyone on the list from Nigeria?Malanga question

[Guest guest]

I am trying to figure out if Malanga is allowed in the SCD diet. My

mom has always claimed that it has gut healing properties. I remember

using it for Mickie when she had severe diahrrea years ago.

From what I have read about it. Malanga is a poison if not cooked, but

healing if boiled or cooked.

Is anyone here from Nigeria or has knowledge of Malanga, please let me

know.

Hi Zurama,

I am not from Nigeria but I did some " googling " and found that

Maranga is a starch. I therefore do not recommend it for SCD.

I am so sorry.
