Coconut water / was SCD for IBS?

[Guest guest]

Well, I won't be stepping into the debate! ; ) I was just searching around for an alternative to commercial sports drinks for the kids (not DH). I had read up on the young coconut water and thought it would be a great combination with some good juice.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mgTo:

Didn't someone on here study

coconuts and say a while ago (I couldn't tell you who or when) that

coconuts basically acted the opposite way bananas did and so having the

young coconut was more likely legal than the older coconut (where the

sugars have been built up)? I thought I remembered someone saying that in

one of the discussions.

This is what the proponents of young, green coconut water say. There's

been quite a bit of argumentation on the subject, with proponents saying

that Elaine didn't bother to research it properly. Same argument I've

heard for allowing bifidus and other non-legal probiotic strains. That

Elaine didn't research it properly.

Young green coconut water may be great for people without gut issues. It

is NOT, however, SCD legal.
