Hey all, I'm on SCD (2 years now) and quit rice and quinoa recently. I don't eat meat so it's hard for me to comply with the diet but I do for the most part. Just wondering how "bad" it is of me to cheat on the diet one night by eating rice. I won't do it again (I'm on vacation now). My recent ultrasound was great.

It was white rice.

Thanks

I would say don't sweat it. If it's going to bother you, you will know within 24 hours. When I was on SCD i could eat white rice without any trouble. I know every body is different, but as far as grains go, white rice isn't particularly rough on the gut.

Hi you can't really do scd without eating meat. I was vegetarian before and started eating meat again. If you tolerate rice, fine. I couldn't. The grains were very hard on my guts. Are you also on medication or is the diet the only thing keeping you in remission?

simple answer - if it didn't make anything worse, keep eating it. Don't treat SCD like it's a religion. It's just a starting point. I have been on it for about 8 years now and over time have figured out what bothers me and what doesn't. A lot of things that bother me are actually allowed on the diet like nut butters, the fermented yogurt, dry curd cottage cheese, eggplant and dried fruits (particularly from Trader Joe's). I have tried rice flour and it doesn't affect me at all though I eat it at most once a month. Theoretically white rice is completely absorbed in the small intestine and none should reach the colon (as long as you have a normal small intestine which might not be the case).
