SLIPPERY ELMSlippery ElmElaine writes: Question: Answer: Slippery elm is illegal for people who go on SCD. It is based on the fact that it contains chemical compounds which are mucilagenous and are carbohydrates which I believe (and I haven't done a Ph.D on this) which do not tie in with the basis of the diet. If you think you are helped by slippery elm, it is a free world. Often when one combines illegals with legals, the combination results in unfavorable results. It would take many months of research to try and find out why this specific combination is not good. Perhaps the slippery elm has helped you and combining it with SCD
is causing an unfavorable result. Therefore, you have to decide which
way you are to go. If I were as sure of slippery elm as I am of potatoes
and pasta, then I would say, "you can't serve two masters." But
in this case, you will have to make up your own mind. |
![]() I was introduced to this diet 7 years ago. Began the diet with my physicians knowledge and was able to go prescription drug free within a year. The diet really works and the book not only gives the how to and recipes, it gives the scientific information to back up the evidence. I highly recommend this book/guide to all that suffer from intestinal disorders.
