Re: Lara Bars and multiple dates used - not legal???

[Guest guest]

They really aren't *technically legal*, for other reasons beyond just the date

varieties, in my opinion. Digestive Wellness was not a company that Elaine

wholeheartedly endorsed... we've had issues with some of their premade products

in the past, from what I remember. I don't ever order anything from them....

I've heard the nut flour is okay. I just wouldn't ever recommend ANY premade

product like a snack bar or fruit leather or whatever.... for ANYone who is new

to the diet especially... even if it's supposedly legal.

Lara Bars and multiple dates used - not legal???

I just received a reply to an e-mail asking Lara Bars about the kinds

of dates they used. The reply was that they use a variety of dates,

not just the majdol variety... I'm so sad to ask... but this means

they are not legal, right? I do hope I'm wrong, but have to ask why

digestivewellness.com is selling these as SDC legal if other kids of

dates are used.

Thank you for bringing up a good question. I will call

digestivewellness on Monday and find out.

Thanks for your replies, Mimi and Patti. It's taken a while, but I'm

beginning to get it through my brain that it may just be best to make

EVERYTHING from scratch

Unfortunately, as well intentioned as Digestive Wellness apppears to be they

have made

some errors in offering certain products as SCD compliant. i thought they

designated Lara

bars as an advanced food. DW is always happy to take direction from us as they

strive to

be SCD compliant. Elaine had a few issues with them and one would assume they

would

have gotten up to speed by now. Anyone with a food mill attachment on their

juicer or a

machine like the Omega can feed in dried fruit and get a firm paste that can be

mixed with

honey, coconut and nut pieces or dried fruits. This confection is only suitable

for those

who are very well along or healed in my opinion.
