You should not use a member of the cabbage family until you are well on your way to getting better. In other words, do not use if you still have diarrhea and gas.

May be used occasionally.

 

Canned in oil or water is acceptable but check the labels carefully. Do not buy products containing "broth". Usually, the low sodium varieties do not contain "broth".

Fruits canned in their own juice are allowed.

There are no canned vegetables permitted, they must either be fresh or frozen.

Legal, but not recommended.

 

 

 

Carrageenan is seaweed and high in polysaccharides, therefore illegal.

 

Nuts sold in mixtures are not allowed, as most are roasted with a starch coating.

Cauliflower is sometimes hard to digest and should be tried cautiously after some progress has been made on the diet.

However, you should go slow and be careful. It is very fibrous, even if it doesn't seem so when you steam it and mash it.

 

 

Cellulose in your supplements is okay and virtually impossible to avoid.

However for a hot cereal see SCDrecipe Hot cereal

Chard (red, green, rainbow and swiss). Chard is similar to spinach/celery so it is legal. It also reminds me a bit of the cabbage family so use with caution if gas is still a problem

If a cheese is not a processed cheese (manufactured) but is a cheese that has had a bacterial culture involved with its production and is aged at least 30 days. Elaine says its OK.

Also known as custard apple or sharifa.

 

 

May be tried when symptom free. However, if you buy dried chestnuts, soak them and cook them until soft.

Chevre is illegal, but you can make a close approximation by dripping goat milk yogurt. Directions can be found at http://uclbs.org/recipes/dairy/suegoatcheese.php

Contains things like aspartame, maple or date sugar and other sugar substitutes which are illegal.

Chickory root is not legal. In my first book, I suggested that it might be used instead of coffee beans. I have since learned that it contains large amounts of fructooligosaccharides.

It is a blue-green algae similar to spirulina

Dr. Haas advised not to use cocoa or chocolate and this still goes, it isn't just the sugar he was worried about.

Also known as zucchini

We use Knudsen’s Just Cranberry juice, as it has been checked out and does not have sugar added. It can be found in most health food stores. Juice should be diluted with water before drinking. Since this is pure cranberry juice it is very tart, you may sweeten it with saccharine or honey or dilute it with legal apple cider instead of water.

It is illegal as it contains lactose. Cream can be added to milk and then fermented to make SCD™24hr yoghurt as the lactsose will be used up in the fermentation. Cream has less lactose than milk and the more fat it contains the less lactose it has.

 

 

 

 

Also known as sharifa or cherimoya

It is actually a better alternative than saccharine, if you can get it, because it has no aftertaste. But it's almost impossible to find by itself, and certainly not available in NA.
