These foods/drinks may not affect you as much as SCD`s other illegal foods/drinks, but that doesn`t make them SCD-legal. One of the most common mistakes is the assumption that plantains are legal. Unfortunately, plantains contain starch and are illegal. Tiny bananas also contain too much starch. Please use only normal bananas and only if they are very ripe and have black spots on the skin. Unripe bananas contain starch and are not allowed in the diet. Rapeseed oil, whole eggs, water, honey, white vinegar, sea salt, mustard seeds, lemon juice* Check the label; Not all of them are legal when it comes to sickle cell disease Applegate said they use anti-caking agents in their celery salt, which is found in hot dogs, so they are not legal. Very helpful to have a list of products, thanks. But.. according to SCD legal/illegal list, tomato paste, mash and sauce are illegal 🙁 Do you add mashed carrots to broth with chicken? Have you heard of Freedom Bar? The founder has had Crohn`s disease for many years and follows a sickle cell regimen. He created these nutrition bars with all the natural and simple ingredients that are perfect for people following the SCD diet! I think all of them, except the chocolate cocoa taste bar, are SCD legal!! Be sure to check out the website www.freedombar.com If you haven`t taken this introduction to SCD, then don`t do the real SCD.
True sickle cell disease means that your child only eats foods that they can tolerate, if they can`t tolerate a certain legal sickle cell food, they won`t fully benefit from sickle cell disease. Are you sure that mayonnaise does not use soybean oil, which I do not think is legal? Children have an amazing ability to find illegals without their parents knowing. There have been cases where parents are sure their child has not consumed illegal food and are surprised when their child admits to finding a way to sneak into junk food. I thought all hot dogs were illegal on SCD because they are processed meat. Are there any that are legal? There is no legal letter for Hunt`s tomato products. Without it, they cannot be considered legal. A legal letter exists for Cento tomato products. Imagine that beef broth is not legal: it contains caramel color (sugar) and «natural flavors» that are not allowed, and unnamed spices that could contain sugar or starch. Chicken broth contains a «natural chicken flavor» that we don`t know what it is. Canned coconut milk is problematic.
Most contain illegal gums – and sometimes the gums are not listed. No apple juice is legal; It must be cider because often a «juice» can say «!00% apples» if what they did extracted the sugar from dying apples and added it to the juice – and because it`s «made from apples,» they don`t have to list sugar as an ingredient. Dole pineapple juice was legal, but that`s problematic. Do NOT get it with added calcium as calcium has a starch base. Tjs almond flour contains SKINS. Although some people tolerate them, they can make a person very sick. That`s why BLANCHED almond flour is recommended. Applegate hot dogs are not legal. Applegate declined to provide a letter because «ingredients can change.» FRank`s hot sauce is not legal because it contains garlic powder, and we don`t know what garlic powder may contain. Gluten-free soy sauce is still soy sauce and is not legal. At one time, wheat-free and starch-free tamari was allowed, but too many people got sick using it. Some larabars are theoretically legal, but they are easy to enjoy and can cause big problems.
In addition, the company that makes them was purchased by one of the large bodies, so there is no guarantee that the ingredients will not be replaced. Beware of something like That`s It fruit bars, because you don`t know if fructose was added, or what processing aids may have been used. Processing aids can significantly affect the legality of a product and processing aids may not be listed on the label. I once counseled the mother of a child who had the most terrible gastrointestinal symptoms. After the mother withdrew a supplement, the child`s problem was solved. You may need to remove all supplements and reintroduce them one by one. Many children do not tolerate supplements in a capsule. You may need to open the capsule for them. Some pills are a medical necessity, please use good judgment and compounding pharmacy to make them SCD legal if they contain illegal charges.
There are many options with LARABAR, but it is necessary to read the label on each one as they are not all legal when it comes to sickle cell disease, some have added chocolate.
