It depends on the person.  I don't think so generally speaking. 

 

In the beginning (or mid '06 because I started SCD 12/05 so six months after I started) I wanted grapes really bad--one of the worst things for me.  I peeled them while I watched TV and ate them.  Didn't have a food mill.  Just a few at a time.  I didn't even want to try blueberries.  Now I can eat blueberries without any ill effects.  I still have problems with older, tougher husk type of beans, berries so I use a foodmill.  I had chronic d.

 

For normal people or however you phrase it, it's supposed to be a great food, full of antioxidants.  My mom eats a bowl of frozen blueberries with the yogurt every single night and says she feels better with the yogurt.  So...not sure if that helps.

I only eat baby lima beans or azuki beans (very very advanced but high

in iron). I have to be very careful with regular beans. Younger

vegetables/beans seem to work a lot better for me. For instance

summer squash doesn't bother me but winter squashes kill my guts.

If it does have a husk, a foodmill is great. It's just scratchy and

irritating (the husks) and since I'm always anemic, I try to avoid

those types of foods.
