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.

Legal / Illegal |
Note |
| Vanillin | Legal | But not in concentrated form see Vanillin |
| V8 Juice | Illegal | It has tomato paste listed as an ingredient. Elaine has listed tomato paste as being illegal. It is also made from concentrate and has added sugar. |
| Vegetables (canned) | Illegal | Canned vegetables are not permitted; they must either be fresh or frozen. |
| Vegetable stearate | Legal | I believe that stearate is always a fat (stearic acid) so vegetable stearate would be a fat from some vegetable like coconut, etc. -- Elaine |
| Vinegar | Legal | Red and white wine vinegar also white and cider vinegars are allowed but check the label for added illegals. Balsamic vinegar is not allowed as it has added sugar. However you can make your own legal balsamic vinegar substitute see scdrecipe |
