Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 , I have been on the SCD diet for more than two years now, very successfully. I don't have children but I do cook totally SCD and my husband eats what I eat. I would encourage you to have a family meeting and enlist your family's support for you in this diet. Especially after the beginner phase is complete, if you cook SCD for the whole family, I think you'll be much more successful. My husband and I have come to love all the foods that substitute for the starches we now do not eat. The roasted carrots recipe from Kendall's book is tremendous. Spaghetti squash, cauliflower, butternut squash - these are some of our favorite foods now. Even when we have family get togethers, they all eat what I cook, all SCD. Of course, my husband loves his Tostitos and salsa, but when he gets those out, I reach for pecans or a piece of cheese and an apple or a biscotti ordered from Jodi Bager's JKGourmet website. It's a long road when you're this sick, but be encouraged that the SCD way can help you become very healthy again. From my own experience, I am convinced of it!
