juicing

[Guest guest]

Ideally, you would make a cooked fruit puree.... and freeze that. Strawberries

may be too advanced... VERY difficult to strain out the tiny bits of seeds which

are not very digestible. Raspberries would be better... cooked and strained

through a fine sieve. Really best to use more beginner-stage fruits.... peel,

cook, puree and freeze.

Stay cool! We are at an unseasonably cool 14 degrees C, here in the Pacific NW,

U.S. ... and wishing for some true summer weather.

Juicing

Hi everyone,

My son has been scd for 8 weeks now. We have introduced things very

gradually and he is only a little way into stage 2. It states that

everything has to be ripe, peeled and cooked. Could I juice fruit to make

ice lollies etc. ? And if so is it only the fruits that he is already on

or could I use a little bit of orange or strawberry etc.

Help required urgently. Unbelievably the temperature in Glasgow Scotland is

28 degrees.

Thanks Elaine

Elaine said that home juicing was acceptable... though she did not feel we

should use fresh, raw juices right in the beginning... and not large amounts

anyway, and not without diluting. I believe she felt that eating the whole fruit

or veggie (minus peel and seeds) would be preferred because the fiber is

needed... and you're losing that when you juice. The other nutrients become

extremely concentrated.

Remember.... one of the legal juices is freshly pressed apple cider... that's

just the apple... squished through a press (or a home juicer). It does not

necessarily have to be cooked, but DOES need to be diluted. The purpose of

cooking is to soften the cell membrane in the fibrous part of the fruit/veggie.

Fresh lemon and lime juice in the small quantities you'd use for recipes are

fine.

Juicing

Is juicing a food OK even if it isn't something that you would give the child

at the moment in it's raw or cooked form i.e. oranges, celery, cherries...Also

what about using things like lemon or lime juice in recipes...freshly squeezed,

of course?

hi

im sure his has been asked before but i cant find it through search.

are juices, ie homemade juices okay to have at any time during the

stages, im not sure if the level of fibre would be maiantained durung

the juicing and if so would this cause a digestion problem, i would

love to give the boys power juices if possible.

thank you

Home juicing is fine. Elaine did not like the idea of newbies using lots of

juice... because she was concerned that there is a real need for the fiber, and

that the nutrients become very concentrated when you juice.

She said ALWAYS dilute... and start with small amounts... and best if you've

been on SCD for a while (a couple of months or longer, I would think is fine).

She preferred the idea of using the WHOLE food.... peeled and cooked, of course,

until further along.
