Ghee WAS Re: Too many nuts

[Guest guest]

actually in the gaps book under the 'what about dairy section' it says the only

exception to

the rule is ghee as long as its homemade from organic butter (grassfed being the

best)

because it is sooo good for healing the gut she says most people can handle it

from the

beginning. it has to be homemade though because store bought can have additives

that

are not labled. she then says that there are a small amount of people that are

very allergic

to dairy that can not handle the ghee and if that's so you should stay off of it

then re-

introduce it 6mo. later. the recipe to make the ghee is put the butter in a

baking dish bake

at 250 for up to an hour, it will seperate then pour it through a strainer lined

with

cheescloth and make sure none of the white pars get into the liquid.

If it helps at all, we are doing Purity Farms ghee and we are also doing canned

coconut milk, even though I know it has Guar Gum. I'm moving from commercial

almond milk to homemade. There are somethings I'm willing to do and others

I'm not comfortable with. Right now my dairy-allergic daughter is safe with Ghee

but if I made it myself from butter I'm not so sure I could be certain I got all the

casein out to make the Ghee, so I'd rather depend on Purity Farms since it is

in the WAPF shopping guide. I realize I'm taking a chance on the coconut milk,

but we just recently introduced it into my 4 year old's diet, who wasn't getting

enough fats. Maybe at some point I'll try one of the more pure varieties from

one of the mail order places or make it myself, but I feel good that I've cut out all

the other processed foods except for these few. I'm just hoping that will be

good enough to do the job.
