Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 i'm still sorta lost here.. they make crystals..that turn into jelly? strange are we talking the same terms here? jelly are like preserves...marmalade... spread it on toast jell-o is gelatin..everyone calls it jell-o.. comes in a little packet and you add boiling water to it...let it cool and you get. well..brightly colored dissolved cow parts... but..anyways... to go back to the first part of this thread... jell-o is kosher..just not vegan (they make vegan gelatin's, but, not exactly the easist things t o find..) Jo Cwazy <heartwork Aug 27, 2005 2:01 AM Re: Re: I'm new to the group Just Wholefoods Vegetarian Jelly Crystals - Raw Cane Sugar, Carrageenan, Locust Bean Gum, Natural Fruit Flavours, Citric Acid, Potassium Citrate. Mix with boiling water and leave to set. Very tasty. www.justwholefoods.co.uk The cupsize tubs of Rowntrees readymade jelly from supermarkets says it is vegetarian and the ingredients listed made it vegan, when I checked, although I have never bought one. The slabs of jelly cubes that you can make jelly with have gelatine in though.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 EWWWW I never knew that about jell-o. I mean I tried it once and I hated it, but EWWWWW. my mom tried to give bryanna jell-o once. She ate about 2 bites and spent the next half hour puking, and broke out in a rash....so we figure shes alergic to something in it.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Fraggle, Jell-O is NOT kosher! You need to remember that because someone advertises something as something doesn't make it fact. This is one of those cases. For something to be kosher there are certain rules that must be followed. One of the rules for beef is the way the animal is killed and it has to be done under the supervision of a rabbi. Jell-O doesn't not buy kosher, they buy whatever they can get. And kosher wouldn't include the hides which the geletin that Jell-O uses has in it.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 HI Fraggle They are crystals that you had boiling water to and they make jelly or jello as I think you call it.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 jell-o(jelly to those across the pond) is generally made with gelatin... u can also make it out of agar agar, er the root of the kuzu hain makes a vegan jell-o... cheer_bears_surprise <ishtar626 Aug 27, 2005 2:33 PM Re: I'm new to the group EWWWW I never knew that about jell-o. I mean I tried it once and I hated it, but EWWWWW. my mom tried to give bryanna jell-o once. She ate about 2 bites and spent the next half hour puking, and broke out in a rash....so we figure shes alergic to something in it. I am assuming the crystals arent made out of the same stuff, right? a blinding flash hotter than the sun dead bodies lie across the path the radiation colors the air finishing one by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well, sort of, Jo. We divide the whole fruit spread stuff up into jelly (strained and clear), jam (thick and lumpy with fruit), preserves (thick and junks of fruit), butter (dependant on method of making) and marmalade (yuck, yuck, yuck, usually citric with zest <g>). Us cooks know what you are talking about because jelly is simply something clear that is flavored and jells. One can get really confusing if you add cranberry sauce into the mix as it would technically be a jelly unless who use the whole berry sauce <g> Lynda - Jo Cwazy <heartwork Saturday, August 27, 2005 12:00 PM Re: Re: I'm new to the group > HI Fraggle > > They are crystals that you had boiling water to and they make jelly or jello > as I think you call it.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'm Jo, 64 years old, married to my best friend for 46 years and have 3 adult children, 4 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. My hubby has M.S. as well as Neuropathy and Diabetes. This year we found out that I have Systemic Candida and having the hardest time getting it under control. From what I have been reading and hearing, I am thinking that gluten free might be the way to go for me. So, am looking forward to being part of this group and sharing and learning.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Jo, welcome to the group! You've come to the right place. I'm glad you told us about your hubby's health issues too because we have GREAT news for you! As you will have noticed, this group supports vegan (no animal products) diet as well as gluten-free. A low-fat, vegan diet has been conclusively shown to put MS into remission. Like with avoiding gluten for those of us who are sensitive to it, sticking to the low-fat vegan diet those with MS is necessary... ie., it's not a " cure " for the condition per se but it does get the symptoms under control and prevent more from developing. If you'd like more information, I can post some websites for your assistance. The same low-fat, whole foods vegan diet has also been repeatedly shown over the past 20 years or so, to be MORE effective at controlling Diabetes than the high-protein, low-carb diet that was the standard recommendation for so many years. I will also happily post references for you on this, if you'd like. Gluten intolerance is also often associated with diabetes. To get Candida under control, avoiding refined foods is essential, particularly sugar and flour. You need to eat whole foods which tend to be lower on the Glycemic Index anyway (also of benefit for those with Diabetes), so fortunately, the same low-fat gluten-free vegan diet would work for both of you! Wishing you all the best, Deborah I'm Jo, 64 years old, married to my best friend for 46 years and have 3 adult children, 4 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Deborah, thanks for the welcome. Yes, I would really appreciate you posting those websites for me. On top of everything else, we got a phone call from hubby's primary care dr yesterday that the MRI that he had last Monday and the lab work for the liver aren't looking very well and now he will probably be scheduled for a endoscopy type test. I knew that this was the right group for us and we are really trying to work on health challenges here.
