The Kosher SCD™ Legal Illegal Food list
The following is a list of foods that are allowed (legal )and foods that are not allowed
(illegal ) while following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™, as outlined in the book, by
Elaine Gottschall. The SCD is a progressive diet and the introduction of many of these
foods should be delayed until healing has taken place, please read the book "Breaking the
Vicious Cycle" for further information.
Some general guidelines are, no grains (i.e. rice, wheat, corn, oats, etc.), no processed foods, no
starchy vegetables (i.e. potatoes, yams, etc.), no canned vegetables of any kind, no flour, no
sugar, no sweeteners other than honey and saccharin, and no milk products except for homemade
yogurt fermented for 24 hours, prepared according to the instructions in the book.
Acorn Squash Legal
Agar-agar Illegal Contains polysaccharides.
Agave syrup Illegal
Algae Illegal We do not use algae (Spirulina) because IBD involves the
immune system and algae can aggravate an already

Allspice Legal As long as you're just using Allspice as a cooking spice,
it's legal. Don't use the oil.
Almond butter Legal Almond butter with no sugar added is allowed.
Almond milk Legal May be tried after being on the diet for 6 months.
Almond oil Legal
Almonds Legal Nuts sold in mixtures are not allowed, as most are roasted

flour, in recipes, until diarrhea has subsided.
Aloe Vera Illegal It contains mucilaginous polysaccharides as well as
increasing the release of tumor necrosis factor which is
associated with IBD inflammation and increased immune
stimulation.

Lactaid Milk Illegal The rate of flow of galactose to the liver when one drinks
lactose hydrolyzed milk is high. With lactose hydrolyzed
milk, you are ingesting the two sugars: glucose and

outside of a whole food.

Magnesium citrate Legal (As a supplement ingredient)
Magnesium Stearate Legal (As a supplement ingredient)
Maltitol Illegal Sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol are all sugar alcohols and
are not SCD™ legal. They fall under the category of
indigestible carbs and sugars, and so allow companies to
label things 'sugar free', even though they are providing
nutrition to the bacteria that live in your digestive tract.
Maltodextrin Illegal Maltodextrin is the worst of the small molecules of sugars.
It is a very short chain of glucose molecules (derived from
starch). The chances of digestion are practically nil. It
therefore will feed bacteria and because of its particular
structure, Elaine feels it is worse than even lactose.
Manchego Cheese Legal
Mangoes Legal
Mannitol Illegal Sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol are all sugar alcohols and

Miracle Noodles Illegal Made of glucomannan, a water-soluble
polysaccharide. Glucommanan is obtained from the root
of an Asian plant called konjac (full
name Amorphophallus konjac). It has been nicknamed the
elephant yam, and also called konjaku, konnyaku, or the
konnyaku potato.
Miso Illegal
Molasses Illegal
Molo-cure Illegal The main constituent of Molo-cure is aloe. Aloe is not
SCD™ compliant as it contains mucilaginous
polysaccharides as well as increasing the release of tumor
necrosis factor which is associated with IBD inflammation
and increased immune stimulation.
Monterey Jack cheese Legal May be used occasionally.

Mozzarella cheese Illegal I spoke to a cheese maker who claims that real mozzarella
should be legal and only the “fake” one is illegal. Im still
not clear about it. Shredded cheese should be avoided
anyway because of the starch they add to the shredded
product. - Asher
MSG Illegal Regardless of whether it is SCD™ legal or not, we should
all try to avoid it. MSG can be a potent neurotoxin.
Mucilaginous Herbs Illegal Slimy, mucilaginous substances are often prescribed as
some think the "coating" properties are helpful to the
intestines. They aren't. We who have compromised guts
cannot digest this stuff but our bugs can have quite a party
on it.
Mucilaginous

ingredients; read the labels carefully.

Pecans Legal Nuts sold in mixtures are not allowed, as most are roasted
with a starch coating. Nuts should only be used as nut
flour, in recipes, until diarrhea has subsided.
Pectin Illegal It is a polysaccharide which, in the presence of acid and
sugar, gels. It is used as a thickener in jams, and occurs
naturally in some fruit, like apples. In apples, it's mostly in
the peel, and for someone beginning the diet, you
normally wouldn't get too much from eating an apple,
because you'd peel it. Pectin as an added ingredient is not
legal, as it is a complex sugar.

Pine nuts Legal They are very hard to digest and even grinding them for
pesto doesn't make them any easier on your gut. May be
tried in small amounts after symptoms have subsided.

can now adds Vitamins A, C and E. The Vitamin A is
