DAY Diet Protocol This diet is based on the SpecialFoods.com diet. We have been on a version of this for over 1 1/2 years. Before you go to the site know that I do NOT know the polysaccharide level of her “complex carbohydrates” but know that she has great success with this diet. Also know that you can get ALL of her foods much cheaper: The best vendor I have found to date for all of the complex carb items is FRANCIS SIMUN Bakery @ (214) 741-4242. The best value is the 1/2 priced bagels (overnight them to avoid mold in transit) & SelectOils.com for the oils. All the other food on her diet she sends you elsewhere for. It is still very wise to read her website, and even call her, but be prepared if you go for it…it is extremely costly, excruciatingly restrictive, etc. SpecialFoods.com In a nut shell here is how we have successfully implemented it for over a year. Our freezer is divided into 7 sections for each day of the week with little baskets I got at the $1 store. In them there is the meat of the day (have the butcher –smile- divide it with wax paper in 1/3 lbs and wrap it as 1 pd packs), left-over “crackers” (see veggies), bagels from Francis Simun Bakery which are individually wrapped. In the cupboard there are 7 of the same containers with: nuts, dehydrated fruit/veggies, snacks, extra un-opened nut butters. In the fridge there is a shelf for all the nut butters. On the wall there is a shelf with all the oils. On the fridge there is a copy of this diet. In the fridge the fruit drawer is full of fruit. I have an extra freezer I was able to squeeze into the laundry closet in the kitchen that also has 7 bins with all the “overstock” of bagels, nuts, dough for veggie crackers. We have a toaster oven next to where we feed our kids that will stay on all day @ a very low temp, and a small George Foreman grill (the key to this being a functional vs. annoying appliance is to unplug it & put a wet rag on it immediately after using and then wash by hand at end of day. Our kids eat the same thing all day. Each meal is grilled meat with oil & salt/spice mix poured on it after cooking, nuts, bagel with nut butter, fruit, veggie crackers with nut butter, filtered water or juice with all supplements. It sounds whacky, but I can’t even imagine doing it any other way. Since there is so much variety daily & day to day, the lack of variety meal to meal seems fine. We leave everything out all day. Cooked meat goes in oven covered on low until next meal. All nuts can be made into “flour” or nut butters (+oil) with a simple Cuisinart. Most nut flours will work in recipes for SCD diet. 7-Day Rotation eliminates allergenicity/immune chaos response & has the largest variety of food, which is IMPORTANT! SCD eliminates gut bugs The combo seems to really encompass what the diet needs to do, and leaves energy to focus elsewhere in the healing process.

Xylitol is often from a corn source and is not tolerated for corn allergy kids. Also there is controversey about its lack of digestion & whether it feeds the gut bugs you try to starve on the SCD pecanbread.com
