Been trying to research this, and finding no answer.

Boxed broths-legal?

My thanks!

Do you mean instant broths?

Judging by the amount of potato starch, monosodium glutamate, maltodrextin, glucose syrup, etc. in all the instant soups I know, I would hazard a wild guess of 'no'.

But you may be talking about something quite different. Can you give a link to the product?

Just regular pre-made broth, sold in a box rather than a can.

We use it a good bit in place of water in soups and stews.

I am afraid you might be right....

Managed to track down the ingredients:

CHICKEN STOCK, SALT, DEXTROSE, YEAST EXTRACT, FLAVORING, CHICKEN FLAVOR, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT, CHICKEN FAT, CHICKEN BROTH POWDER, SOY LECITHIN.

So basically, no, not SCD friendly... <_<.

It is quite easy to make your own broth. Recipes abound on the net. The easiest and cheapest method for me was to buy a kilogram or so of chicken wings, add very roughly chopped veggies (carrot, onion, celery), a few black peppercorns and a bouquet garni, and then bring it all to the boil in a large saucepan of water. Once it's boiling, turn the heat down, skim the gunk off, and simmer gently for 3-4 hours. It creates a gorgeous smell as it's cooking, too. That really will be SCD-friendly.

Are we finally bringing you over to the dark side???

You giving accurate and encouraging SCD knowledge....

We will get you yet..lol

And watch out, I have no plans at this time, but I seem to get to the UK every few years on work. And if I do I am going to track you down and make you a tasty SCD meal. Served with a great glass of wine (or something you would like) and perhaps even a few games of darts for laughs.....

Sorry but could not help to tease you

LOL.

Thanks, Tea, for the accurate info! Enjoy that meal when you get it!

This will seriously bum my partner out. We use this stuff for everything! But, I often make and freeze broth, so will have to up this to keep up withour needs.

lolzers, it's so ridiculously too late for me to be trying new diets now, that I just have to laugh <_<. I'd love to take a time machine back to the time of my diagnosis 13 years ago, go on a diet like the SCD, and see if it would prevent the worsening of my disease and eventual surgery. Fantasy thinking, I know, but I'd just love to know. I suppose if I'd started Remicade back then, that might have worked as well though. ('Top down theory' of medical treatment, innit? >_>)

Heh. If you are anywhere near my part of the world, you are welcome to treat me to a SCD meal! :p Seriously, next time you are in the UK, feel free to let me know. If it's in another few years' time, I might even be over the operation by then! <_<

Edit: Outposted! Thanks, Myself :p
