SCD and Store Bought Foods List

Hey all,

Well since I am on the SCD I thought it might be interesting to make a list of foods one can buy from the store to eat easily. I'm having a hard time finding items so this should be helpful to all of us trying out this strict diet. Please add what works for you and I'll keep adding them to the list.

1. Rao's Brand Tomato Sauce

Hmm it seems everyone abandoned the SCD in favor of the spinach and sunflower seed diet? :)

sgtpepper,

I was on the SCD for 2 months and it kind of worked for me but it was just a lil too inconvenient for me so I stopped.From the sounds of it you are being very lenient on your diet as Elaine Gottschall was very strict about store bought foods, No sugar doesn't necessarily mean it is SCD legal. SCD legal foods do not complain any complex carbs therfore, no corn products, no dextrose or glucose. This is because the FDA permits shadiness in their food labeling. Often times you will see as part of the ingredients "natural flavorings" or "spices" these labels are too vague and allows manufacturers to get away with many things.

You can have foods that "work for you" but might not necessarily be "SCD legal" hope this is kind of helpful in someway.

You can eat any kinds of veggies for the most part and of course meats. You can buy honey, fruit, nuts. Some stores sell almond flour. Coconut flakes, salad, frozen fruit, juices that are natural, cider, OJ, without sugar of course. I think Trader Joes is a good place to shop, their products tend to have less additives. You could probably eat canned tomatoes if you look at the ingredients. Olive oil, some aged cheeses, eggs, tea, fermented foods like kimche or sauerkraut (refredgerated section at health food store), beans, olives, herbs and spices

Yea unfortunately for me I also can't have dairy which makes this harder. And when I was using almond flower I got worse so I had to ax nuts.

Yep, I have the legals illegals list bookmarked, and I bought the book.
