SCD Legal Packaged Products

Life Saving SCD Legal Packaged Products

When following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, it is always recommended to cook/bake/make food in your own kitchen. That way you know exactly which ingredients are going into your food. But let’s be honest- after over 7 years of strictly following SCD, this mom needs a little help! 90% of what goes into my daughter’s belly still comes straight from my kitchen. But I have been so happy to find several packaged products that are either 100% SCD legal or (more recently) *mostly* SCD legal that my daughter can tolerate. Please keep in mind that not every belly is the same, so something that our daughter can tolerate might not work for another person’s special belly.

**This list of products is certainly not exhaustive, and my goal is to update regularly. I do not have written letters from the manufacturers guaranteeing the accuracy of the product labels. Many of these products are SCD verified from websites and manufacturers I trust, such as Wellbee’s. However, please be sure to do your own due diligence and read every label. Check for sneaky ingredients such as sugar, starches, gums and ‘natural flavors’ in particular. The Special Belly earns commissions.**

SCD Legal at your door

The Wellbee’s online store sells all things SCD legal. You can find many of these products in stores also, but the SCD legal breads, cookies and granola are pretty unique to the Wellbee’s store.

Sincerely, by Paryani sells SCD Legal sweet breads and treats. You can order online or purchase in a variety of stores in Georgia.

If you are new to SCD, Elaine Gottschall, author of Breaking the Vicious Cycle, recommends going beyond just reading the product labels for its ingredient list. Sometimes manufacturers do not list every ingredient in their products, (i.e. something that may have been used during processing, or “anti-caking agents in spices”). Elaine recommends contacting the company and getting a letter stating that their ingredient list is accurate and complete.
