Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi Marilyn, I think I am drinking too much juice, i buy it 100% natural, but i haven't watered it down at all. Probably 4 - 6 liters a week. And plenty of apples. You know how you just know that something isn't right inside your gut. I'm sure i'm overdosing on fruit, so i've already cut it back, but i never thought to dilute it. Thanks. As for other foods that i'm eating, it's all just salad w/o dressing and vegies ... mostly chicken, but some red meat as well. I'm pretty strict with the diet i think. If only almond meal wasn't so expensive !!!!! Fitz Australia Diagnosed with Crohns - April 2008 SCD - 3 weeks ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 , Yes, it's very easy to over-do on fruit. Your mileage may vary, but for me, fruit was the last thing I was able to add in any kind of quantity. If I drank 4-6 liters of undiluted juice a week, I'd be falling over! Or, more likely, living in the loo! BTW, you can make legal SCD salad dressings. However, most of us find that raw veggies at the outset of the diet is also a bit rough on our guts, and that it is much better to go with cooked, peeled vegetables. I ate peeled steamed zucchini (courgettes) for about two months before I was able to add steamed French-style green beans. Almond meal goodies are great -- but doesn't Australia have a pretty good pecan crop? Finely ground pecans can be used in most recipes -- and there's a good souffle bread recipe which is just eggs and 4 tablespoons of pecan meal. If you haven't found it already, you might find http://www.geocities.com/scdoz/ helpful -- it's a website for SCDers in your part of the globe. (And a place I want to visit one of these days... I have a pen pal living in Perth.) — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks again Marilyn, I will definitely water down my juice, I can feel it being too acidic for me when i'm drinking it. Can't believe I didn't think of watering it down? I'm only a young kid give me some slack ;O) .... well i'm 32 ..... (young at heart then). Thanks for suggesting the aussie site, i'll take a look at it this week, and hopefully some locally relevant information is available. When you come to Australia, you'll have to look me up, at least i'll be SCD prepared for you. Ha. Thanks Marilyn. > > > , > > Yes, it's very easy to over-do on fruit.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 , Re: " can't believe you didn't think of watering the juice down, " well, that comes under the heading of " Space... the final frontier... it's in between my ears! " OK, my brain just tilted... I'm used to thinking of myself as young. And it just dawned on me that at 56, I'm old enough to be your Mom! We won't make Australia for a few years -- my husband only has three weeks of vacation, so it may have to wait until he retires. After all, that's a whole continent to look over. And a darned long flight to get there. (I have to figure out precisely how much food to bring with me so it's finished before I arrive so I don't get arrested for smuggling! Ya'll have some pretty stringent laws! Oh, and I have another pen pal in SA. Hope the Aussie site is helpful... ingredients which are available vary from state to state in the US and province to province in Canada, let alone what may be available continent to continent. Give some thought to doing cooked, peeled veggies, as well. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
