Elaine suggested starting with small amounts of homemade nut milk - and she said to dilute it when starting since it is concentrated. Here is where she mentions to dilute it http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages?id=259811#259811 also see http://lyris.dundee.net/read/messages?id=252992#252992 > as its mainly water anyway as i can make 10 muffins with the > flour that left, so surely there cant be much 'almond' left in the > water? Actually, all the good stuff is in the nut milk , that is why you have to dilute (like you do juices) at the beginning of the diet when the body is still healing.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi Emma, > is 50/50 enough or should it be more - have to say i think it tastes > better diluted It should be at least 50/50 but if it is not tolerated then dilute it with water further. If you prefer the " taste " of a higher water ratio than that is okay to use. Sheila, SCD 2/01, UC 22yrs mom of and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
