Re: Lots of questions, pretty new at this

Amy,

I'm not sure if anyone answered your post.

<<1. She wanted a small drink of goat milk (maybe 3-4 oz). I let her

have it and she threw up within 20 minutes. Why can she tolerate

goat yogurt but not milk?>>

There is lactose in the fluid milk. Goat MILK is not legal on SCD.... unless

it's been fermented into 24 hr SCD yogurt. It could have been from the lactose,

or the casein in the goat milk. Goat YOGURT still has casein in it, but the

fermentation process sort of changes, or de-natures the casein, rendering it

more digestible.

<<A while after drinking hers, she got hold of her

brothers and drank it (all fruit and fruit juice, nothing else

added). She drank about 6 oz and within 15 minutes threw all of it

up. Why?>>

Was the juice your son was drinking legal for SCD?

<<3. Why is apple juice not safe but grape & pineapple juice are? If

the manufacturers of apple juice add things without telling, how do

we know the others aren't doing the same? Is Pomegranate juice okay?>>

I answered this a couple of times yesterday and today, for other people. Maybe

you caught those posts. Apple and pear juice undergo changes during commercial

processing which make them problematic for SCD ers. I am not aware of a legal

pomegranate juice. You would have to write to the company, make them verify in

writing (hard copy, not e-mail) that nothing else has been added to the juice,

EVER..... and then you could use that juice for YOUR family, if you choose to.

WE can't declare it to be " legal " for everyone.

I can't answer the ham question. I don't use it for my daughter.

<<5. I cannot find any tomato juice that was not made from

concentrate. Why is concentrate bad?>>

You will find even the legal brands of tomato juice are made from concentrate.

All it has to be is plain tomato juice with only salt added. I don't know why

this standard is different for tomato juice. I know it doesn't make sense and

would take me three pages of typing to give the background on it all. It has to

do with Elaine's experience and investigation into the manufacturing of these

products. OH, how I wish she were still here with us to explain further.
