V8 juice?

[Guest guest]

Hi again - Mom and I are making up our big shopping list for tomorrow morning,

then cooking all weekend. We both feel like we KNOW we've seen SOMEWHERE on the

site or in an email, that V8 was okay? But the book says illegal? Is there

some other form of V8? Reason is, we thought why not use something like that to

simmer down into tomato sauce instead of just canned tomato juice, another way

to get veggies in them. Of course it has to be legal, that's the whole point.

Thanks for any clarification!

oh - I know it sounds like we're not exactly following the intro diet, that's

because we're not. Luke's diarrhea is not unmanageable at this point, he's

actually gotten kind of firm and told me today, " It IS better! " which was a joy

to hear. So, while it may not be best, we're not following the intro diet as

much as going about this in such a way to replace foods he currently eats with

SCD legal alternatives, then bring in new things. Hope that makes sense.

As far as I know, V8 juice is illegal. See

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info, Legal/Illegal list.

Michele,

You have to do what you think will work for your child, but I would

really recommend two days of the intro even if there isn't D.

It gives the system a chance to rest and heal.

Go slow and add new foods according to BTVC. Foods should be peeled,

seeded and cooked.

Starting with foods that are more difficult to digest will not give

you very quick results.

Several people have just gone to all legal foods, but then really

wished they had started from the beginning. When they went back and

did the intro diet, they saw much better progress.

The diet is written the way it is for a reason. It is a diet that is

one that heals as it goes. Starting with the easiest to digest foods

and adding more gradually.

It's more fun to eat nut muffins, but it's not easy on the system.

It won't hurt for you and your mom to make a lot of stuff. The baked

goods can be frozen and used later.

But this diet is really much more effective if you start at the

beginning, if at all possible.

And V-8 is illegal. But you can make your own by juicing veggies and

adding it to the tomato juice.
