SCD and dehydrators

[Guest guest]

Hi Tahira

This is the main book - written by Elaine Gottchall who developed the diet for her daughter. It's the one that persuaded us to go SCD (together with Tim hearing about it at a DAN! conference)

there's also Judy C who advocates (I wish they still had her presentation on autism one radio - it was excellent. Looks like her book is not avaliable on amazon uk though).

re. dehydrators - I'm afraid I can't remember where we got ours (it may have been UK JUICERS). They have stopped making our model too. I can remember when it arrived thinking we had bought something that was way too big and we might not use enough to justify the space it would need. BUT we use it so much! I love it. We soak our nuts for 12 hrs (cashews less) and then dry them - we also make apple and banana snacks (dehydrated bananas are like toffee) - and even kale crisps.

Perhaps someone can recommend one somewhere.

Best wishes,

Sandy
