IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Dole Pineapple Juice is no longer legal! We suggest that all members of the SCD community go to http://www.dole.com/contactushome/tabid/1210/default.aspx# and scroll down to the "Contact Us" and let Dole know what you think of their action in changing a formerly safe product. IMPORTANT NOTE: Kirkman Supplements Alert The following Kirkman Vitamins are no longer SCD legal. We called Kirkman and they confirmed that this is true. TMG 500 mg with Folinic Acid & Methyl B-12 - Hypoallergenic 294/200 DMG with Folinic Acid & B-12 - Hypoallergenic 295/200 TMG with Folinic Acid & B-12 - Hypoallergenic Kirkman Multiple Vitamin Pro-Support has removed "no starch" from the label. Someone called to find out why and was told that the chemist says there is a trace amount of starch from the vitamin E. In-depth checking needs to be done before we safely can say that the other Kirkman supplements are legal. There were several efforts recently to talk to the head of Kirkman but he was unavailable. An employee of the company said that Kirkman specialized in GFCF products. It is very important for a supplement company to have a good understanding of SCD in order to be able to produce supplements that are compatible with the diet. Elaine helped Freeda to make the supplements that contain the SCD label. All the GI ProHealth supplements are carefully monitored by an expert on SCD. We hope that an autism organization will provide testing for SCD supplements. Periodic lab testing of supplements is the way to go. Until we get this done, do not blame SCD if you are not getting good results and are using supplements that were not made especially for SCD. We hope that one day, Kirkman will want to talk with SCD representatives. Tropicana Orange Juice Alert A while ago, a list member called both Welch's and Tropicana about their calcium fortified juices. BOTH companies use a calcium supplement that has starch in them. This makes their calcium fortified juices illegal. Recently, Tropicana changed their packaging; both the Tropicana Pure premium Orange Juice with calcium and the Tropicana Pure premium Orange Juice without calcium look almost identical. You need to inspect to insure that you are buying juice without any added calcium. Management of Celiac Disease by Dr. Haas
