Are Jennies Coconut macaroons ok for the SCD diet. They are made with

only unsweetened coconut, honey and egg whites?

Also, does anyone have a list of SCD approved products that we can

truley trust?

Request a hand written letter from Jennie's to decide if you want to risk usin

their cookies.

2% of ingredients do not have to be disclosed on labels.

It is better to be safe than sorry.

You'll have to get a letter in writing from the company disclosing

all ingredients. You will need to check that the honey is 100% pure

filtered honey. They may use " cut " honey (honey that contains corn

syrup or other sweeteners) or unfiltered honey. Unfiltered honey

contains pollen that isn't good for those with gut issues. Also did

they use real egg whites or the commercial egg white substitutes with

possible illegals added. If you have sulfur issues you'll want to

check and se if the coconut has sulfur added or not.

Also, if you are just starting the diet or having symptoms you may

want to be careful with coconut. It is pretty fibrous and some

people do have to wait before introducing it.

Some products like bacon etc are legal but because they are so many

brands it is impossible to list them all. Different brands can be

found depending on where you live. For example, I live in Canada and

a legal bacon brand here is " Maple Leaf's 33 and 1/3 less salt bacon " .

Also there are some people who specialize in prpearing and selling

SCD legal foods. With these links although the foods are all legal

you may or ay not tolerate them - you'll have to use your own

judgement:

Legal commercial juices are also at the above link.
