A Caution from the Bunce Zoo

> CAUTION from the Silly Yaks at the Bunce zoo! Do not eat these

recipes that I have posted if you are new and healing. Even Kiki

doesn't eat this stuff during a flare. She never ate it during intro

either.

Dear Antoinette,

Yes, CAUTION!

Pecanbread has over 2700 members and you will notice the same people

posting very frequently while they are newcomers. When they can manage

on their own they remain as " lurkers, " contributing updates from time

to time or posting an occasional question.

Most of the new arrivals here have subscribed to the list because they

cannot sort out all the information at first on their own.

We have a commitment to be as clear as possible and careful about

identifying what's legal, what's appropriate for beginners and what is

advanced.

Your family is at varying stages of progress and you say only Kiki is

having most of the issues.

So please, help us out when composing a post. Be specific about whether

your advice is just general or it is especially geared to a newbie or a

veteran.

Since I use nuts, cow cheese and dried fruit myself, I sometimes am

careless when posting a recipe and I neglect to tag it as advanced:-(

Then the poor moms say, " My child can't eat that, in fact can barely

eat. "

Very few on the list are catering to five individuals. It is a marvel

how you cope with them all and still make time to compose really

detailed posts.( I wish I had your energy and did not even fifty years

ago.)

So please, Antoinette read over your message, pretending that you are

brand new and regard it from the perspective of someone who is just

starting SCD and you will continue to be a really big help I am sure.

Also be aware that when a food has been restricted by Elaine, there are

instances when we do not know the reason. In certain cases Elaine

herself was unsure and just decided caution should rule.
