Juices etc??

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I am new to this list and the SCD diet. My son has been on the GFCF

diet for about 4 months and I have decided to try the SCD diet along

side the gfcf because he is sensitive to gluten, casein, and corn.

Just a couple of questions if someone can help me:

Tomatoe juice: I have the Whole Foods brand 365 which has filtered

water, and salt in it. It does say tomatoe concentrate. Has anyone

used this brand or can someone recommed a brand for me?

Can anyone tell me if the Hansen's brand of Pineapple and Apple juice

are okay?

Also, is it crucial to the diet to start with the introductory diet

or can I just begin by giving him the legal foods?

Thanks!!!

The only legal brands of tomato juice are Heinz and 's Tomato

juice.

Sorry, no. Dole pineapple juice is legal. There is no legal apple

juice. Elaine writes about this in the back of BTVC. Local apple

cider prepared as per Elaine's recommendations in BTVC is legal.

People have done the diet both ways. If possible doing the intro diet

helps to flush things out faster, while feeding the body the easiest

to digest foods. after that adding foods accordingly to symptoms

presented. A food journal is also especially helpful; one that

records food and major behavioral and bowel changes.

Others have done great by just introducing SCD legal foods and

removing all SCD illegals.

In Canada, I can buy Heinz tomato juice in a bottle. Dole's pineapple comes

in cans here and I believe there are small versions in bottles.

I am not sure about 's tomato juice, but their website shows bottles

( I don't know if it's glass or plastic).

Homemade apple juice is great, but remember to still dilute it with water

(half water half juice).

Thanks again.

I use Tropicana Ruby Red grapefruit juice (because my son is

sensitive to phenols and can't tolerate orange juice). I called

Tropicana just now and they said the grapefruit juice is produced

the same way as the orange juice, so it should be o.k., too.

I also dilute it with water.

I know that you can buy 's tomato juice in plastic bottles but

the Dole pineapple juice I've only seen in cans. I just pour it into

a plastic bottle as soon as I open it and feel more comfortable with

that.

Thanks! How about grape juice is there a certain legal one? Also,

does anyone have a juicer machine they can recommend?

Darci,

Welch's white or purple grape juice are okay and they come in

plastic. They have added so many variations on their flavors, just

make sure you are getting the plain kind.

Hi Darci,

> Thanks! How about grape juice is there a certain legal one?

There are three legal grape juices:

1. Welch's grape juice

2. Kedeem Grape juice and

3. Knudsen's Organic Just Concord Grape (part of the " Knudsen Just

Juice " line, not their other regular or Organic juices)

Also,

I have a Juiceman that works pretty good.

Thanks so much for the help. I do have a few other items that I

could use some legal brand names, if someone knows.

Spice Brand? I have been using McCormick and know that was good for

gfcf. The fresh dill, basil etc. goes bad so fast.

Mustard Brand?

Olive and Pickle brand?

Cooking spray? I use the Spectrum olive oil, but it does have the

soy lethicin in it, does anyone know if this brand is okay? I also

use the Spectrum and 365 (Whole Food Brand) oils.

Does anyone know if No Fenol is okay to take on this diet?

I made the nut/egg pancake this morning and the Monster cookies, it

really is amazing what you can do with nut flour. Both were a hit.

If anyone has any other great breakfast ideas like the chicken

pancakes I would love to get them from you. My little guy is brunt

out on scrambled eggs and egg scrambles. He askes for cashews, toast

and crackers all day long. Now of course, he has thrown in cookies

today. He is a bottomless pit.

Sorry for all the questions, it's mind boggling to get started on a

new diet. I am also avoiding gfcf and corn.

Thanks again for any info. you all have.
