Re: Re: Tomato juice

Well,

I don’t use any commercial juices that are from concentrates, so I make most

of my own juices. I decided that I just didn’t trust any

manufacturers, and I wasn’t happy with the unknown effects from using

concentrates. So I make my own.

Elaine,

or others in the SCD community, have checked on some juices, and these are the

ones that are permitted. s tomato juice is one. I am not

sure if it was made from concentrates when Elaine looked at it, but

Elaine felt the manufacturer was reliable.

I

can’t help but remember that manufacturers change formulas/recipes and

suppliers frequently, so a lot can change in a year or two. That’s

why I made the choice to make my own juices for the first five years on SCD,

regardless of the brands that are considered OK for use on SCD. Now I can

handle a commercial orange juice (not from concentrate) and a commercial

cranberry juice (not from concentrate), so I don’t have to make all of my

juices. But I waited to try them until I knew my gut ecology was stable

again.

On

the other hand, we all pay attention to our body’s signals, so if we

start developing worse symptoms, or new symptoms, we start testing any foods or

drinks added to our menu within the past week or two. So if you notice a

reaction to ’s tomato juice, then you don’t use it again

for a while.

morning. I messed up with husband taped down to quick on steroids last wk

and put him in a mess for two or three days in there. Also, soaked

lentils 12 hrs rinsed water many time cooked 6 hrs on stove. He ate maybe

1/4 cup if that. only on diet 2 months ,I am being overly careful .

Thank-you I am beating my self up pretty good here.

Keep in mind that healing isn't linear -- that is, you don't steadily get

better with no backsliding. It's two steps forward and one step back, and

two steps forward, and one step back, and three steps forward and two

steps back.... and you feel as if it's only steps backward, but you HAVE

come three steps forward in all that!

It's hard enough when you're cooking for yourself and make a mistake.

It's even harder when someone else has a problem because you might have

slipped up. Always better to ask, especially at the beginning.
