Re: Is Stoneyfiled plain yogurt with pectin ok?

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering if Stoneyfield added in bifidus and that was the reason for the

change from legal to illegal. Maybe someone can check this out in the

supermarket.

Other than that, if it didn't, Elaine doesn't indicate it is advanced. She says

it is recommended highly.

The added pectin to jams and jellies is considerably more than what is in the

little yogurt you will use as a starter. Welcome and good luck, Elaine

No, it is not legal. Pectin is bad juju.

Stoneyfield also puts bifidus in their yogurt which is

SCD-illegal.

Marilyn - perhaps you didn't see the post from Elaine where she said it was not onlylegal but recommended. And that that amount of pectin was negligible and wouldbe consumed by the yogurt, as opposed to the pectin in jams, etc. Did she actually change her mind about pectin in yogurt at some point on the record?Or, was it only a question of the whole thing becoming moot because Stoneyfieldchanged the formulation to include bifidus?

I checked the website. It's a moot suject because regardless if Elaine okay'd

the use of it with pectin, they now put bifidus in it. Since it said highly

recommended by Elaine, I didn't think to check the site for the other strains of

bacteria in it.

Apparently, the original post on this list about it didn't come through

-- and it's not in my spam box, either.

What was the date on the post? I don't see one on Healing Crow.

All I can tell you is that by the time I started SCD in 2001, both pectin

and bifidus were illegal, and Stonyfield was not recommended.

This is something that confuses me. Elaine approved certain things that have

little bits of illegals in them (ie. this yogurt/pectin, salt/dextrose,

bacon/sugar, some supplements at PB/gum & rice bran). Are all of these so minute

that it makes no impact on the diet, or do they mess with the whole " fanatical

adherence " and sabotage your healing? I really hope the former, because then

maybe the illegals in my meds are so minute that they don't really matter.

OT - My bird's gym is right next to my recliner/end table. I just went to drink

from my glass of water, and found a chunk of almond shell floating on top. Makes

me wonder what else (cracker crumbs!?!?) she has been flinging in there without

my knowledge. Blech! Now that I think about it, I let her have a few bites of my

strawberry yesterday, not too long after she had eaten one of my dad's corn

chips. Double blech! Birdie backwash >:|

Elaine was a pragmatist.

In the case of the gum in a liquid vitamin, she was advised by the

manufacturer that they had to have some kind of thickener to keep the

vitamins and minerals in an even suspension. She chose to put that under

" necessary medicine. "

Same thing with the rice bran -- but when the company brought out a

product which used rice bran oil instead of bran, the rice bran

containing product was removed from the list, and the one with rice bran

oil was permitted,

The dextrose in iodized salt is there to prevent the iodide from

sublimating (going away). Very few of us these days have access to fresh

shellfish and so forth to get the right amount of iodine, which we need

for our thyroids to function properly. So rather than removing that

source which could cause worse ailment Just look at how many people who

are on low sodium diets have thyroid issues these days! (I've added

iodine drops to my regimen because too much salt exacerbates the

lymphedema from my cancer surgery.)

I must use a supplement which is not SCD-legal. It has slowed my healing,

but my alternative is worse. In this instance, it is necessary to balance

the pros and the cons.

When I had my cancer surgery, I completely forgot to check into legal

pain-killers, and had to cope with all the fillers. The lactose combined

with the motrin after I was off the narcotic pain killers was a doozey. I

do not recommend trying to bolt for the bathroom when you have a 24 "

slice across your gut.

I think that it can be a cumulative issue. If one product has a little

illegal in it, and another product has a little illegal in it and a

third, fourth, and fifth product has a little illegal in it, each

individual item may not contain enough illegal to be an issue, but

totalled, they may add up to enough to provide the bad bacteria a

smorgasbord.

You have to have your meds, and getting them compounded isn't an option

at this time.

Therefore, what I would do is what I've had to do with my supplement --

stay extra legal if it is within your situation to do so. And --

don't come unglued about your meds.
