Hi Antoinette,

Specific dairy, cashews, peanuts and " specific " legumes are

considered safe on the SCD because they contain SCD legal

carbohydrates. Properly made 24 hour yogurt and the cheeses listed

in BTVC are legal dairy and can be tried early in the diet. Fresh

peas and beans can be tried early in the diet, while it is best to

wait for healing before adding in (properly prepared) dried peas,

beans and lentils. Not all legumes are legal - they are listed in

BTVC. The nuts to start on, because they are easiest to digest, are

blanched almonds and pecans. Legal peanut butter can be tried after

this (start small and work up). Cashews are for later after some

healing since they are more complex.

If any of these foods are a known allergen (IgE) for a person they

should be avoided.
