Digestive Welllness and Lara bars

[Guest guest]

Digestive Welllness is now run by a different person than in the past.

The former manager used to sell a product that was controversial but

now the site is run by her daughter,Esther. Esther is very cooperative and

tries very hard to listen to our concerns. All the food there are SCD

legal but not all of it might be appropriate for beginners. Please

wait until there is more gut healing before trying most of the

prepared foods.

Do try to make your own SCD food,it is so easy and fun. Making cookies

together is a great way to teach your child social and other skills.

I also want to clarify that Digestive Welllness has always been very

careful to make sure that their products do not contain any hidden

illegal ingredients.

I just got this message from Esther:

Hi Mimi,

I realized that on the pecanbread.com mailing list they were

discussing about the dates used in Larabars. Digestive Wellness goes

through every ingredient, and we obviously checked on the dates before

we declared them as SCD legal (with Sheila's authorization). I

worked on the Larabar project for about 2 weeks going back and fourth

from Sheila to Larabar company, making sure that all the ingredients

are perfectly ok. When we starting selling these bars they used only

California dates. Now they use US and some imported dates - I think

from Canada, but only dates that have nothing added to them. SCD is

suspicious that dates might have a starch added to them to prevent

them from clumping. Larabar company is very careful with it, and uses

only companies that add NOTHING to their dates - they're very careful

with this . Hope this is clear. We're here to help our fellow

SCD'ers with the diet - offering various foods - that's what we're

here for, and we would never sell anything that wasn't checked to make

sure that every tiny bit of the product is 100% ok for those following

SCD. Thanks!
