Lois Lang's Bread..................................

January 16, 2009

I was wondering if this bread agrees with most people on the list

even tho it's made out of ground almonds?

ALSO, I'll go ahead and give a little info on myself since I jumped

in with questions before introducing myself. Please forgive me.

I'm Tonya. Married to and we have three daughters. Two are

married and still have one at home. This past Dec. 7, I found myself

in the ER with Diverticulitis and a microabscess. The pain was

awful. I was put on Cipro/Flagyl for 2 weeks. I guess by a miracle,

I never took over 2 pain pills after I left the ER but my tummy was

in an uproar for 2 or 3 weeks after. I still don't have any pain. I

did eat a soft, bland diet but I'm able to eat lots more now. My

diet pretty much consists of baked or raw apples, once in while an

orange, chicken, turkey, fish, canned carrots, green beans, squash.

I did eat some store bought yogurt in the beginning but haven't had

any in a while. I admit that I also drank a little kefir (which made

my tummy feel wonderful) also. I went back to the DR. on Jan. 6th

and I still had some soreness in my lower left region. Soooo, he put

me on Levaquin for 10 days which I finished this morning. (Thank

God) I do hope that's all the antibiotics I have to take as I'm not

a medicine person. I'm suppose to have a CT I guess in a week to see

if all the infection is gone. I do hope so!!! I've not eaten loads

of food since leaving the ER so I don't actually have all my strentgh

back but I'm doing good. I just ordered me a dehydrator so I won't

be making the yogurt till next week. Does anyone suggest I eat store

bought? Or just wait till I can make my own?

ALSO, if there is anyone on here that has suffered with the same ,

please write to me. It helps so much to hear from others that have

been there.

Blessings to all, Tonya from Georgia

At the time I started SCD, there were no Pecan Bread stages... it was all

common sense. I didn't use nut breads for some months on the diet because

I was too darned sick when I started to be able to make them.

That said, when I did start, the Lois Lang bread, made with well-dripped

yogurt (because I couldn't find dry curd cottage cheese) became something

I really enjoyed. I have my own variation of the recipe which I usually

make as mini-muffins so I don't eat too much at one time!

These days, though, I mostly do my own pecan souffle bread. This has the

advantage of being eggs and just 4 tablespoons of nut flour in six or so

large slices of bread. (It's more like a roll up for sandwiches and

things.)

Some people find that it is necessary to limit the amounts of nut flour

goodies they eat because of other digestive issues.

Hi Tonya,Welcome to the group.I wouldn't suggest eating store bought yogurt. You'd be much better off just waiting until you can make SCD yogurt. Store bought yogurt is full of lactose and not SCD legal.Since almond flour is difficult for some to tolerate at first, I'd suggest starting out slowly with it and see how you do. If you find that you don't tolerate it well, there is a bread recipe at,http://uclbs.org/recipes/bmc/soufflebread.phpthat doesn't call for almond flour. I prefer this bread for sandwiches over any almond flour bread I've tried anyway. To me, almond flour is good for sweet breads, cookies, muffins, etc. but not for sandwich bread.....just my opinion.Also, canned veggies aren't allowed on SCD.Hope all goes well with the CT next

week.Best wishes,Kim H.husband, , CD 1999, SCD 2002
