Can anyone help me with a few things concerning this SCD diet please......I am reading about it all online and plan to get the book also.I see that coffee is legal and so is honey....so that works for me I put a little honey in my 1 cup of 1/2caffine coffee in the morning BUT the Carnation liquid creamer is not legal so what could be put in there in place of it?? I really need help on that one as 1 cup of coffee is all I have a day and I just don't want to get rid of that too
Also, are there others here with families that you are the "cook" for? I am a Mom of 3 teens and I do all the cooking and shopping.....since I am the only one having IBS-D they aren't gonna eat the SCD diet......how are you managing to stay strickly on the diet plus still buy all the bad stuff for the rest of your family?? Not to mention preparing it and serving it while you don't eat it?Eating out is another huge concern of mine......as there appears to be so many illegal things that a resturant would be voilating them easily and you may not be awear of it.....I was thinking I could order grilled chicken and request only salf & pepper as seasoning to be compliant.....well cooked veggies with no seasonings and when it comes to the table add my own butter and pepper to them.......water to drink.....and that's about all I can think of.....steak would work too I think.I love eating at a mexican resturant by our home....to my knowlege it is all homemade there....I get the same thing when I go....chicken soft tacos.....YUMMMY and they are not spice hot or anything like that BUT I am sure there's gotta be certain things they add to the chicken to make it taste like that must be on the illegal list! I could just eat the inside and skip the flour wrap and also not eat the corn chips on the table.So if you have ever done this diet or know about any legal creamer I would appreciate the help and advice so much....I honestly don't know if I can do it at this point but I am gonna give it a go just the same. I figure if I could manage to do it for 2wks just to see how I feel and am reacting then I may just be able to stay on it for the yr like they advise.
