Re: celiac / enzyme, was, ...about your blurb, was, more about cod liver

[Guest guest]

ps to previous post - Another tangent - lectins, soaking, fermenting

and sourdough. It was information similar to the enzyme connection,

that led to my foray into fermentation land - I started with

sourdough. Was soooo fun!!! Anyway, I got the most dramatic results

with my older daughter, just from the sourdough itself. Lots of happy

dances for her, as her belly issues got soooo very much better The

best resource I found, for the science behind it all, was at Rene's

group. She has some totally awesome files in place that I mostly just

barely managed to skim. With lots of reading and rereading of the ones

most pertinent for me...there is alot of really good information there.

Aannnddd, while looking into these tangents, for " real life " things to

do, I went to onibasu.com and joined a couple (few?) of those groups -

microbial and/or native nutrition are a couple of them...fun stuff and

Very, Very helpful for me, as I have that inherent (taught) ick factor

& it took alot of browsing to work past it....Very Grateful that I did

whew, understatment! ...wishing all the best, elizabeth
