Welcome to Peanbread, Kim.

Yes we eat wholesome food.

Job one is to read " Breaking the Vicious Cycle, " by Elaine Gottschall.

Meanwhile study the two websites in your welcome message and also

posted under every message to the Yahoo list.

www.pecanbread.com

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info

Recipes are in the book and on pecanbread.com. There are additional

recipe links on the other site.

We have cakes, cookies, crackers, muffins,pancakes, ice cream and even

pizza and " chips. "

And their are some store bought items you can order on the Internet if

you want them. We do the majority of our food preparation at home.

GFCF allows some starches that we don't and excludes dairy. We have

some very wholesome dairy and it is even healing. Those who cannot

tolerate it don't need to have it.

I suggest you study the websites and get back with more questions. Our

files and database have information too an others will anser your

questions.

SCD restricts only certain types of carbs and doesn't limit the ones

that are allowed although we encourage a well rounded diet so your carb

addicted son will not be deprived. Only the bad and harmful gut

bacteria will suffer.

The beginning may be difficult but if you have patience you will

likely be seeing good things happen.

Hi Kim,

Yes, I think you'll find that SCD is easier in some respects. Although we have

to do a lot of cooking from scratch, you can get into batch cooking and freezing

extra portions. Just takes planning.

I think there are a lot of pre-made products for GF/CF (I personally have not

every done that diet) that can be convenient, but spendy. We don't have a lot of

pre-made options... and do most of our shopping around the perimeter of the

market (meat dept., produce dept., dairy dept.). You'll need a bigger fridge and

a smaller pantry.

If you're wondering what he'll eat, give these a try. You will be AMAZED that

there is zero flour in them! Make sure the banana is ripe.... ( " brown spots all

around, no green to be seen " is my motto). Any carb-loving pancake addict will

LOVE 'em.

BANANA PANCAKES -from BTVC (Breaking the Vicious Cycle)

1 ripe banana

1 egg

Butter for frying

Beat ingredients together.

Drop on a greased pan and brown over medium heat.

Turn and brown other side.

Serve hot with honey syrup (honey diluted w/ water and heated).

Right this minute, I am eating a peanut butter cookie from BTVC... right out of

the freezer. Ooooohhh.... better than just about anything.

Oh, and don't worry.... LOTS of SCD kids were former carb & sugar addicts!

best,

Patti, mom to Katera
