Quick Question About SCD

Check if it has polysaccharides in it, that's what the whole diet is based around, all foods with polysaccharides are illegal according to the SCD diet. I think it has either glucose or sucrose, not starch.
 
seeds are SCD legal but not paleo.....
nuts are paleo but not recommended for people with immune conditions.....

from http://www.scdiet.org/7archives/scd010_4.html
"Any seeds are OK as long as you are completely free of symptoms incuding tiredness, aches and pains, sore feet, rashes, these non-specific symptoms, indicate the presence of a leaky gut and a gut wall which is not completely healed. The addition of nuts and seeds may bring back diarrhea in many cases."

"Definitely do not take any seeds while there is any kind of
extensive inflamation unless you wish to tear a hole in your intestines.
The same goes for whole nuts. Don't trust you teeth to chew them. No matter
how well you chew them, teeth cannot crush nuts to a safe level of fineness
for IBD sufferers. Grind all nuts and preferably cook them at first. this
softens them and makes them more digestible. When you improve you may be
able to take some raw nut meal with yoghurt and honey, which is the ideal
way to have them since the enzymes are still active when raw. But while the
bowel is inflamed, Mechanical considerations must take precedence over
optimal nutrition.
 
Thanks, all. That was helpful. I'm trying to find foods I can eat that have protein but aren't meat-based.
