Question about canned tomatoes, DCCC, & citric acid

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

We just started SCD two and a half weeks ago. My toddler daughter

was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity and had a running issue with

yeast. Because she is still nursing and because there is family

history of celiac I am also doing the diet.

I just got my own copy of BTVC yesterday after borrowing someone

else. I had thought there might be some more explanation about a

couple of questions I had.

1)If there are no " illegal " ingredients listed on canned tomatoes,

the Eden Organic brand (Organic Roma Tomatoes, Organic Roasted

Minced Onion, Organic Roasted Minced Garlic) is this safe OR is

there something about the canning process that makes it illegal.

2)I live in a small town in AK and there is no DCCC to be had. I've

come across a couple of recipes where it suggests substituting

dripped yogurt cheese. Does that work in most recipes?

3) I'm confused about citric acid. The legal/illegal list from the

site says its okay but other places I've read that most citric acid

in the US is manufactured from corn and I read the reply somewhere

to someone's post that made it sound like it was not recommended.

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much
