                  Prepared Products               

I have found some SCD-legal prepared products that I use all the time with no adverse reactions. Knowing what products you can buy will make the diet a lot easier for you! Below are some of the prepared products that I use.

(Please make note of the comments next to the bacon, yogurt, and Tropicana OJ!) 


 
Items bought at my local grocery stores, Kroger and Albertson's:
 
    Campbell's 100% Tomato Juice, in large or small cans
 
   Dole Pineapple in its own juice
 
  Small cans of Dole Pineapple Orange Juice
 
  Real Lime and Real Lemon Juice
 
  Kroger or Albertson's brand mustard
 
  Laura Scudder's Peanut Butter (peanuts & salt only)
 
  Luv Yu Pineapple Salad Vinegar
 
  Tropicana Original Orange Juice
***Make sure it is Tropicana original, with NO added calcium or Vitamin D!
 
 ***Dannon All Natural yogurt is used only as a STARTER for SCD yogurt.
 
 Sanderson Farms chicken (also Foster Farms chicken)

 Kirkland brand Tuna (with tuna, water, and salt only)

 Kirkland brand pre-cooked bacon from Costco is an easy product to use for the ***once a week, crisply fried*** bacon that is allowed on the diet. Just cook in the microwave for 30 seconds on each side, and it's ready!

NOTE: As with any prepared product, make a note of whether they give you any symptoms. If so, discontinue use. Not all companies detail which ingredients make up less than 2% of the total product, so a sure way of finding out what is in the product is to ask them for a list of ingredients in writing before you try a product. Refer to "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" for more instructions about prepared products.
