Re: bf infant w/ multiple allergies, mom w/ questions

[Guest guest]

look at www.houstonni.com enzymes, pep, hn zyme and no fenol in

capsules and with rice bran filler oil for yourself

sweet potatoes are very scd illegal so most likely you both have some

major intestinal yeast issue that gets upset when you start to stop

feeding it

candex and oreganol help with yeast

i would also look at vit d, you need to read back on my recent posts

here under 'monfreespirit' or 'osip7315' to get a bead on this

efas need looking at

constipation can be a symptom of intestinal yeast

very small quantities like 60mg once every two or three days of msm

(which is neither scd legal or illegal) can help with constipation

and bile but may not suit everybody, the trimedica 'pure msm' which

is in fact lignisul msm is a good

imo your reasoning is correct and its scd legal

i don't think there was ever a ruling by elaine gottshcall on it, but

from what i did see her her talking about oils, her view was that scd

illegality did not carry over from the seed to the oil

The oil would be okay.
