The
following is a list of foods that are allowed (legal)
and foods that are not allowed (illegal)
while following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™, as outlined in the
book,
Breaking the Vicious Cycle by
Elaine Gottschall. The SCD™ is a progressive diet and the
introduction
of many of these foods should be delayed until healing has taken
place, please read the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" for
further information.
Some general guidelines are, no grains (i.e. rice, wheat, corn, oats, etc.),
no processed foods, no starchy vegetables (i.e. potatoes, yams, etc.), no canned
vegetables of any kind, no flour, no sugar, no sweeteners other than honey
and saccharin, and no milk products except for homemade yogurt fermented for
24 hours, prepared according to the instructions in the book.

Food |
Legal / Illegal |
Note |
| Faba beans | Illegal | |
| Fennel | See note | See Fennel |
| Fenugreek | Illegal | |
| Feta Cheese | Illegal | Feta may be used after about 6 months of improvement. But used only in small amounts. |
| Filberts (hazelnuts) | Legal | Nuts sold in mixtures are not allowed, as most are roasted with a starch coating. Nuts should only be used as nut flour, in recipes, until diarrhea has subsided. |
| Figs | Legal | Figs unpolluted by chemicals or additives are fine, however I find them, especially in dried form; to be a laxative. They also contain hundreds of tiny hard seeds which can be hard on the intestines. I'm still unable to tolerate them after almost a year on the SCD. If I were you I'd leave figs until you've been symptom free for at least a while. - Rob B |
| Fish | Legal | Fresh and frozen are allowed as long as nothing has been added during processing; check the labels carefully. |
| Flax seed oil | Legal | see Flax seed and flax seed oil |
| Flax seed | Illegal | see Flax seed and flax seed oil |
| Flour | Illegal | |
| FOS | Illegal | Also known as fructooligosaccharides. See, FOS |
| Fowl | Legal | All types including turkey, chicken, duck, goose, pheasant, pigeon etc |
| Frozen Orange Juice (concentrated) | Illegal | If orange juice is just frozen and has no additives then it is legal, however frozen orange juice is normally concentrated before freezing and the process to concentrate it makes it illegal see frozen orange juice processing |
| Fructose (granulated) | Illegal | Granulated fructose (or even liquid) that is sold as "fructose" has a mixture of other trisaccharides, etc. in it. It is extracted from corn and they are not too fussy about eliminating a few molecules of whatever that may get in with it. |
| Fruits (canned) | See note | Fruits canned in their own juice are allowed. |
