He had his first bit of banana today... still no poops today, so no

data.

> > Question 2 - Veggies/protien

We're loading up on the veggies, veggie pancakes this morning.

Carol... I'll get back to you re: fitday/protein... I'll do this

later tonight. Thanks.

> > Question 3 - Garlic, spices, herbs, etc.

From, both of your answers, I don't think we have a problem... he

only uses fresh spices and herbs (many from the garden). Typically,

he grinds them in his gigantic mortar and pestle (sp?) or in spice

grinders, etc.

The particular spices in question (last night)... he put them into a

homemade spice packet (like cheese cloth) so he could take it out.

And, he just boiled the entire garlic clove in the stew and took out

the entire clove afterwards. So this way, we're just getting the

taste, not the actual stalk/seed/whatever.

Thanks, Sally

Yes we are.

I am a duel citizen as of last month (after living in Toronto 53 years and the

U.S. the rest of time until then.)

Geographically, Sheila and I are very far from each other but totally united

when it comes to SCD!

Cooking with herbs, spices, butter, Dijon mustard and even wine makes SCD meals

taste like they were prepared by a gourmet chef.

Whole Foods sells lovely organic herbs in flat snap shut celluloid containers

that protect them in the freezer. A few scissor snips into food takes flavor

far above the ordinary. Favorites: Bay leaf, sage, oregano, basil, rosemary,

parsley, thyme, marjoram

Hi Sally,

Yes, I live in Newfoundland, which is as far east as you can go in

North America.

If the constipation doesn't resolve soon, you might want to cut out

the herbs and spices at least until things get moving. Sometimes

they can irritate people which will either mean D or C. Let us know

how he makes out.
