Phase 1 foods
I read over the food list (several times now!), but I have a couple of questions.
First, I read that vegetable juice is allowed - but what about V8? It has carrot and beet as well as spinach etc, but the Avoid list doesn't say to avoid any beverages except alcohol, sugary drinks, fruit juice, and fatty milk. So is the amount of sugar in V8 from the carrots and beets minute enough that it's okay?
Second, I downloaded flagirl's SBD recipe collection, and there is a yummy beef stirfry recipe that is supposed to be ph1 - except it calls for a little cornstarch. Now I know that SBD is flexible, and ph1 recipes often use a small amount of a forbidden ingredient such as wine or lime juice, but I thought I'd better check and see. I remember Ruthxxx telling Weezle she had to wait on her sf pudding because it had cornstarch, so I wasn't sure about it.
The last question - I saw that cool whip lite and free are okay on phase 1, but when I was looking at the cool whips, the ones I looked at both had corn syrup (not high fructose, just plain). I thought those were cw free and cw lite, but maybe not? Did I have the wrong items?
Thanks in advance for the help!
