Patti/ was: dried coconut/coconut flour

[Guest guest]

Dear Patti and all,

I would not want anyone to eat it if they are a beginner. So anyone

else reading this, please respect that this is an advanced food. But I

do have a quesiton.

Can you tell me why coconut flour when processed untill it is as

smooth as almond flour is not allowed? Is it what it is made out of,

or just becasue it is fiberous? When I process my cocnut like this it

is no longer that fiberous. But it does take time to do this. Yet will

always respect Elaine's guidelines and fears.

Just wondering.

Antoinette,

I believe you said, " Patti and all. " :-)

The fiber is still in the coconut no matter how finely it is ground.

You did not specify it is an advanced food.

Antoinette if anyone in your family is having flares and regressions

it's time to recheck that they are not having raw foods and advanced

foods too soon and not being fed illegals without you knowing about it.

Even though we study the book and the web sites, it's easy to slip up

sometimes in the desire to have a wider choice of foods especially with

those who seem constantly hungry or when a parent wants to imitate

conventional recipes that are appealing.

Maybe you should keep a food log if you don't already do so, of anyone

at home that is experiencing problems. You report you are also seeing

some progress but then turn around and say it is uneven and punctuated

with some setbacks.

After six years and in spite of having had access to Elaine, I still

have much to learn and often rely on Mimi, Patti, Sheila and Charlene

to give me correct answers especially when a question concerns

children.

Sometimes you do present yourself like a veteran even though you are

relatively new to SCD.

As for advanced foods, would you believe I never used coconut until

this year?
