Has anyone out there found a good scd-legal substitute for milk? I thought some of the unsweetened "boxed milks" like Blue Diamond Almond milk might work, but they contain starches. Just looking for something to put in a cup of tea with honey without it making me run to the bathroom right away. Was thinking of giving coconut milk a try. Has anyone else had good luck with this? Would love to hear any other thoughts about substitutes you may have found. Thanks:)

I use Almond dream Almond milk, I don't know that there are starches in it. I wouldn't think that little bit of starch in milk products would matter, I would be more concerned with carrageenan, which I read is not good for your guts. Most non milk substitutes tend to use carrageenan as a thickener, Almond Dream doesn't.

Thanks so much--I'll give both these ideas a try! I also just made a batch of homemade coconut milk...hopefully one of these will work.

Yes when I was on SCD I used Almond Dream too. I used to get the chocolate one for a treat, but I wonder if that was legal. SCD didn't end up working for me but I hope it works for you. Good luck!

You can use SCD yogurt for a lot of things. Not sure if it would work in tea or coffee.

The boxed Almond milks are not legal. There is starch and a lot of time cane sugar. That is why when you read the SCD book she says do not used any boxed items, even fruit juice because you never know what is hidden. The Almond breeze chocolate is definitely out!!! Chocolate is definitely not on that diet.
