What is the difference between algae and seaweed that seaweeds are allowed and algae are not?
Actually seaweed is a form of algae, strictly speaking. This is a good point which slipped my attention, thank you for pointing it out. As nutritional supplements algae are commercially cultivated and can be sold under names of spirulina, algae, chlorella and dunaliella. Both seaweed and algae can be introduced when the Introduction Diet has been completed and there are no more digestive problems. Keep in mind that supplements of algae can cause diarrhoea and can be very helpful in resolving constipation.
