Sorry these conveneience foods are not SCD™ compliant and should not be posted as part of your testimonial on Amazon as they may mislead newcomers. The ingredients are not legal. Grain is not permitted, so no granola, seeds can only be used after six months with healing progressing well, You can make similar treats at home that resemble some of the bars. Even though these items above agree with you they could do harm to others with gastric and autism issues. We hope you continue on the group to learn more about foods that can help. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Welcome to the list. Although the majority of the convenience foods that you listed seem to have no illegal ingredients (with the exception of the Rebar-Original, which contains alfalfa), ALL of those types of products (in their homemade form) would be for only the most advanced SCDers as they all contain whole nuts, seeds and dried fruits, all of which while allowed on SCD, are among the most difficult to digest foods that are allowed on the diet. Please consider restarting the diet using the intro diet. Slowly add new foods which are well-cooked and peeled. Keep a food log. All symptoms should be under control, and after at least 3 months on the diet, those advanced foods could be tried cautiously (whole nuts, seeds, and dried fruits). I would encourage you to start again and allow your GI tract to heal thoroughly before introducing such advanced foods. And although those products you listed appear to contain SCD legal foods, we have no approval for the use of those convenience foods on SCD. Manufacturers are allowed to omit ingredients on their listing if the ingredient constitutes less than 2% of the total volume. Foods similar to those you have listed can be made at home and introduced well into the diet. Jody mom to -6 and -9 SCD 32 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any varieties of Cliff or Larabar bars legal? Thanks and take care, Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Sorry Fay, It is difficult to test, approve and monitor the many convenience foods on the market. SCD is mostly a " from scratch " opertation to insure safe compliance for best results.. At present only J.Gourmet and some items from Digestive Wellness are OK. Please check out this link on our website and you will see why. http://www.pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#homemade I make bars by pressing dried fruits into nut butter and rolling them in crushed nuts or coconut but it was pointed out recently here that these concentrated ingredients are intended for people who are advanced on the diet.
