Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi all, Since I am a new member, my questions might have already been answered, if so, sorry for the repeats.. Are lentils, safe to be eaten at the “beginning” of the diet? (prepared according to the instructions in BTVC) Nutrition data given below does not indiate the starch in lentils.. I guess it is tough to estimate.. http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/legumes-and-legume-products/4337/2 Note: " ~ " indicates a missing or incomplete value.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Ozgur, Welcome! Here is what Elaine said about lentils: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/the_science_behind_the_diet2.htmhttp://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/the_science_behind_the_diet2.htmhttp://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/the_science_behind_the_diet2.htmhttp://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/the_science_behind_the_diet2.htm Carol CD 22 yrs SCD 5 yrs <snip> Double sugar molecules (disaccharides: lactose, sucrose, maltose and isomaltose) and starches (polysaccharides) are primarily avoided on the diet. Some starches have been shown to be tolerated, particularly those in the legume family (dried beans, lentils and split peas only). However, they must be soaked for 10-12 hours prior to cooking, and the water discarded since it will contain other sugars which are indigestible, but which are removed in the soaking process. Small amounts of legumes may only be added to the diet after about three months. From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of oerinmez@...

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I made the mistake of tackling navy pea beans at about 2 months on the diet. BIG mistake! Interestingly, by the following summer (around 8 months), I was OK with them, so long as I ate them about once a month. Lentils and I get along better -- and lentils have the advantage of being a legume my husband will eat! Green peas? Not on your life! Neither Harry nor I like those -- and yet, baby new peas are supposed to be fairly easy to digest. Some people even claim they're tasty. <grin> At 12:39 PM 2/16/2010, you wrote: I am at 7 months now and have just gotten broccoli and cauliflower back and asparagus seems OK, too. I'm so pleased I will try an artichoke one of these days. I haven't felt I dared try lentils or indeed anything like legumes yet. (The other night DH fixed green peas for himself and they smelled so nauseating to me I could hardly believe it!) On the other hand I never had a bit of trouble with carrots in any form, as Marilyn did. lentils, as a legume, can be an advanced food, something you don't want to tackle until some healing has taken place. That said, cauliflower and broccoli are generally advanced vegetables, and I was able to add those in fairly quickly. Other people have to wait a number of months before adding something like that in.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 You need to try the mint pea recipe from the Eat Well, Feel Well cookbook. I don't really care for peas, never have, but that recipe has all of us (the boys included) licking our plates clean! ; )AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Tue, February 16, 2010 9:15:43 PMSubject: Re: Re: How safe to eat lentils?

They don't taste good to me and they smell like someone who hasn't taken a bath in a while. I usually don't like brussel sprouts unless they're disguised with something good. Well, I'll admit -- I haven't tried either of them with Brie Sauce yet, but they seem like an awful waste of good brie sauce. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
