how advanced are these foods?

[Guest guest]

First of all I'd like to thank all of you who replied to my message and posted

words of encouragement. I really think first trimester of pregnancy cravings for

bread/cereals is making this super hard on me because till now I have been doing

wonderful both physically and I had a much more postive attitude and now it just

feels like I " ll be on this forever...I hope after a year I can add some illegals

but I do see the benefit of staying on the diet for the most part... I'm feeling

great (besides pregnancy nausea) and thank god all my blood work (as mentioned)

is really great too!

Anyway, I've been tolerating most foods but haven't really started with dried

fruits and coconut. Is coconut flour ok to use in baking or is it considered

more advanced? Also what about cocoonut flakes, I wanted to make macaroons for

Passover....

One more question... Elaine mentioned on occasion a diet soda. Which diet soda

is permissable? Thank you...Becky

In general, it is considered more advanced. But for some reason, some people

find it easier to tolerate than nut flour - so, like everything else on SCD, it

depends on the person eating it.

Dried fruits can be pretty advanced, so don't overdue.

OTOH, they may take care of some of your carb cravings, so that might help.

Yeah - that's fine but it also depends on your reaction, so you may want to

start eating them

slowly to make sure that you are okay with them.

It's not really clear, but diet coke and etc. Occasional.
