Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 After browsing through my BTVC book I came across this, " There is a small amount of sucrose(about 1%-3%) in some pasteurized honey " .Oopps! I'm a dumbo for missing that. My kiddos couldn't tolerate even a bit of sucrose(any sugar) before SCD. I think my honey must have that small amount of sucrose in it, as my daughter is having some reflex...she has been eating some honey everyday in the past week....the honey has been the only change. So any advice on what honey to buy. The store has no-name unpasteurized honey, but I'm concerned if it is just honey...it doesn't taste as good and it is a bit darker. I assume the book it right and there may be just a bit a sucrose in it, naturally sometimes. Are there any good grocery store unpasteurized brands in Ontario that you can trust? Or should I find a bee keeper? Thanks, Cathy Mom to , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tolerate unpasteurized, only Billy Bee.and buy it in the large frosted hive shaped squeeze bottle. But I have some information here that attests to the positives of honey: http://ift.confex.com/ift/2001/techprogram/paper_8860.htm Carol F.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I just recently worked with another family privately who were having problems making headway on SCD.... and we finally tracked it down to their honey. It didn't have sucrose in it, but it was un-filtered.... so it still had the pollen grains in it. For that child, that was enough to impede his progress! They switched to a clear, filtered honey and he turned right around. You honey can be unpasteurized (raw), but it MUST be filtered and clear. Double and triple check those labels from now on.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks Patti, The honey I was using was Alfalfa honey..it was clear, pasteurized...I assumed it must be filtered...by it didn't say on the label. Maybe if i made a phone call they can tell me. I wouldn't surprise me if just a bit of natural sucrose not broken down was the problem. I definitely will make sure it is clear and filtered and maybe it will have to be unpasteurized.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 this is very interesting to me...we've been having trouble with honey as well and i was ready to just cut it out completely. i checked my bottle and it says " unfiltered " ...however, it looks very clear. i'm going to call the company and double check. would love to be able to use honey again, and from the emails you recently sent about yeast, i do see the benefits of keeping it in. silvia SCD 1 month, 2 yo with eczema > I just recently worked with another family privately who were > having problems making headway on SCD.... and we finally tracked it > down to their honey.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Leah Thanks for chiming in, <100% honey>,<didn't taste nearly as good> I found a honey just like the one you are talking about, but I didn't use it because I thought something wasn't right with it. The labels can be so misleading. I don't know why I let my guard down and trusted that my other honey was OK.(I should of made a call) Has anyone had problems with " Billy Bee honey " ? It sounds like it might be a good one...I really can't afford another mistake. I sent them an email as it doesn't say on the container anymore if it is filtered.
