Sorry, it is not legal. I know this is part of a basic protocol of another diet.

Elaine reminds us of the disastrous effect green apples and other unripened

fruit can have on the digestive system and this applies to green coconut water.

Hi and t,

Here is what Elaine wrote about green coconut while on the kid's SCDlist:

" Green coconunut - I know nothing about a green coconut. The liquid inside a

brown coconut is OK a while after the diet starts working, but not at two

weeks. "

So, the tender green coconut juice looks like something to clear of, especially

since you are only a few weeks on the diet.

Hi Carol,

To clarify: green, ripe apples are legal. Such as Granny

Apples.

Green unripe apples are not.
