Guest guest Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Debbie dear, Allow me to relate our historic juice mantra because this question arises so very often with newcomers. What we say is yes, your Lakewood Juice may be OK, but no one here really knows. Their email response is not sufficient. A hard copy signed letter is required about the ingredients and processing. Once you get that we hope with all our hearts that the juice is pure as specified and if you are comfortable with using it go ahead. However if you aren't getting the desired results, consider eliminating that and just using the approved juices to be sure. > I have > contacted Lakewood about the pineapple juice and will let people know > what I hear. > > > Carol F. --------- Toronto , Celiac SCD 2 3/4 years There is no substitute for the right food!

Autism (Girl) HI Debbie, I was the one that mentioned the carrot juice. We used to use Lakewood Pineapple, too. I hope Sheila is reading this because I'm pretty sure she knows the answer to the juicing process. It has to do with the way they juice the item - they can say pure juice nothing added and be truthful, but the actual process produces something (was it concentrated sorbitol???) that can be hard to handle for a damaged gut. All I can say, is that when we pulled the non-SCD-Elaine-approved juices, things improved. Now, of course, other things were going on, too and I am not as good as others at pin-pointing causes and effects. What I will say is this, I felt better about it. When I went straight back to using the stuff that ELAINE says is ok, I felt better - I stopped wondering. I hope that makes sense... son - 5yo soon, ASD, SCD one year+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi Debbie and , Some people do have problems with pineapple juice. (Phenols or salicylates?) I believe they said the problem was raw pineapple or raw juice - when cooked/boiled it was okay. Elaine has checked out and recommend's Dole's pineapple juice (not from concentrate) > > contacted Lakewood about the pineapple juice and will let people > know > > what I hear.

It may have been too much of a legal sugar hit (natural sugars) Elaine doesn't recommend juicing veggies at first when starting but to allow the gut to do some healing first. And then go slow with diluted juice and work your way up to larger amounts slowly. > HI Debbie, > I was the one that mentioned the carrot juice. We used to use > Lakewood Pineapple, too.

Yup, that's one reason to avoid juices Elaine doesn't recommend. Juices that have been concentrated to powder and sold reconstituted with water will have the naturally occuring sorbitol altered. Sorbitol has been linked to diarhhea, bloating and other stomach trouble.

To echo if you do go ahead and use the Lakewood and don't see the results on the diet that you think you should please try substituting for the legal juices to see if that helps.

I juice raw fruits/veggies, but for Luke, the canned is actually better. He tolerates very watered down Dole (1/8 ratio) just fine. Fresh is not ok for him, neither is eating pineapples. in NC Mom of Luke, age 5, Asperger's/low-salicylate; , age 3; and , 21 mos All SCD since 1/26/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
