BTVC)

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.

I wouldn't recommend lentils (as prepared in BTVC) in the early days. How

long have you been on SCD?

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.
