Hey Amin – technically no artificial colors are “SCD-legal.” If its in a supplement, we’d advise looking for an alternative brand that doesn’t use artificial colors.

Hi Jeanne – the categories (Like “Books we Love”) aren’t hyperlinks – look for the recommended products below these titles.

Hi Rita – so sorry you had an issue with this page.

I recommend you give it a try on a different device or browser. It sounds like you’re having an issue with the page loading.

Hope this helps!

Hi Maria – for SCD-legal vitamins we recommend GI Pro Health, but they don’t make a K2 alone. Steve and Jordan have had good results with this K2, even though it isn’t strictly SCD-legal.

This list is really useful for finding vitamins that don’t contain illegal ingredients: http://www.pecanbread.com/supplements.html

Hope this helps!!

I am looking for an SCD legal Vitamin K. I see you recommend the Life extension Vitamin K2 above. I’m confused because, the ingredients seem to list “carob color” which is illegal on SCD as far as I know.

Thanks,

Maria

All food additives are legal. The question isn’t whether something is legal but whether something is healthy or unhealthy. Dextrose is refined sugar which is harmful to your health and if it comes from corn its probably genetically modified unless the corn is certified organic or certified non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project.

Hi Vicki, please view the article on probiotics here: https://healthygut.com/scd-probiotics-what-you-really-need-to-know/

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the suggestions as we will take this into consideration. We strive to do the best for our customers and we appreciate the feedback.

It would be really great if you would add a sentence or three for each Product about why you recommend that particular brand (and/or formula). It’s relatively easy to find information about the merits of ingredients, but much harder to sift through the hundreds of choices of manufacturers, QUALITY of ingredients, and the synergies or lacks in specific formulas. If you have already settled on these products as your top choices – presumably after much research of your own – it would be SUPER helpful and hugely time-saving if you’d share WHY you chose these particular products above so many other options, particularly relative to the ever-present cost vs. quality question. Example: except for cost (and what’s the trade-off) why do you feature NOW brand MCT oil when Bulletproof’s brand is so widely acknowledged as the highest quality for ingestion by so many other leaders in the next-generation-online-health-resources world (do we have a name for this realm yet)?

Thanks very much,
Jennifer Reed

Hi Rowena, thanks for reaching out! We highly recommend consulting with your doctor about this, as we are unable to give medical advice. The SCD diet is designed to heal the gut and reduce inflammation with in the body. This is something that is beneficial for nearly everyone experiencing health issues, as many, if not all disease, begins in the gut.

Hi Jordan and Steve,
I am also wondering about coconut aminos – as the people before said it’s from coconut sap. Do you know about coconut sap? Is it molecularly like a simple sugar? I would really like to know the answer to this question as you do recommend it on your site and quite frankly my son loves it when we brown his stews in it.

Hi Mary,

Thanks for stopping by and letting us know that you’re starting SCD! Keep us posted =)

“Fructose or glucose sweeteners (with saccharin, etc) are not really monosaccharides as I have explained before; they are a mixture of many sugars. If you can find pure dextrose it appears that when the name dextrose (actually another name for glucose) appears on something, it may very well be a monosaccharide. However, I cannot keep up with what companies are doing and I am even not sure of this.”

The Now brand has (and I have ordered) Pure Dextrose. The label clearly says it is 100% pure and is a monosaccharide. What I would like to know is the quote above accurate? Did Elaine really say this? Is pure dextrose legal? I read in many other places that dextrose is not legal but as best I can tell it is legal if it is pure. Right?

Also wondering about this!

I can’t test things for individual tolerance, as I was unable to achieve any kind of relief from SCD alone and so am on both the diet and remicade. I continue the diet in the hopes that it will heal my gut while the medication keeps my symptoms at bay.

Thanks!

Ill do whatever it takes to get better but I am on day three and my symptoms are crazy burning in the stomache so much Im wondering if I have an ulcer and still tons of dizziness. I also have indigestion, constant burping and heartburn after almost anything, even the broth at times and couldnt even handle the grape juice. I dont know what in the world is going on with my stomache. I feel like its a ball of fire inside me.

I got some betaine hcl with pepsin and mastic gum. Ive also been trying to build up my natural flora with kefir and SCD yogurt and Im afraid that the mastic gum might harm my good bacteria. Do you think I should be concerned about this or is there a particular way I should take it maybe apart from the kefir or yogurt? Does the mastic gum have any use for me if I dont have an ulcer and h pylori? It seems like its made me feel better already and Ive only taken that with the betaine and pepsin. Sorry this was so long but thanks in advance for any help. I just dont trust standard medical treatments anymore and know acid reducers and antibiotics would definately only make me worse.

I suspect I have some hormonal imbalances, too, and would like to get the gut and hormones really optimizes while we begin a “pre-conception” super diet a la WAPF. 🙂 I’m also wondering if I will EVER have the right balance of gut flora, despite doing all I’m doing, so I’m considering fecal transplant. I do have an idea for a potential donor…

So, my questions are: 1) Being a couple of dudes, how experienced are you in the female hormone arena? 🙂 And 2), if I did want to try the fecal transplant thing, would you be able to help me through that process and in getting stool tests on the donor?

Thanks guys!

Hi Susan, that’s so weird there must have been something wrong with the page, it’s still there:

best to you,

Honestly, in our experience using them we feel that there’s higher quality products out there that are also SCD legal.

In good health,

Jordan
