Thanks for sharing all of them!<br /><br />Second: I've run into several people like your Anonymous. They are out there patrolling the SCD blogs looking for violators. You handled this one better than anyone else I have seen. I follow the diet fairly strictly except that I use unsweetened chocolate in my baking. It was the first thing I tested because I need my chocolate! We are all different and some of us are able to tolerate a few of the "illegal" foods... its all part of the healing process :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434559624362473453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372504199686954022.post-73169386242994671822011-09-28T12:08:02.736-06:002011-09-28T12:08:02.736-06:00I enjoyed this post.

I've been free of any sign of UC for 2 years now, and can vary slightly. Still, I do best when I stay SCD-legal.<br />I've also known people who've needed to adjust the SCD to themselves and include non-SCD legal foods. We're each so unique. <br />Love your recipes and have included your blog on a SCD source page I gave to my ND.spunkellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372504199686954022.post-22067728984657209822011-09-26T08:57:52.125-06:002011-09-26T08:57:52.125-06:00Someone awarded me the Liebster Blog Award and I w...Someone awarded me the Liebster Blog Award and I want to pay it forward to you.

He very slowly, and still very sparingly, eats outside the diet - a tiny bit. He sometimes has something with vegan chocolate chips. Maybe something with spelt noodles. Sometimes heavy cream instead of almond milk in a recipe. A dash or two of worchestershire sauce. You know! He surely doesn't eat french fries or fritos! But after time, sometimes you are lucky and can add a few things (in moderation) back into your diet. Like he says, he is way more "in tune" to his body than he ever was before. He can tell pretty quickly if he needs to stop the cheating for awhile, or if something isn't going to go well! Everyone is different. I know someone who eats sugar, yet mostly follows the SCD diet and has been med free now for going on 5 years. If you feel better being strictly SCD, then by all means practice it! And use recipes on these sites as a basis for your menus - but adapt them as needed. That's what I did for years. SCD is awesome!!

I can't say that I would have reacted the same way :P especially because you explicitly say that you were able to move on from being 100% SCD and your recipes reflect that. I've been strictly SCD for about 7 years now and I STILL can't add anything new...I really hope to be in your position some day!<br />StaceyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372504199686954022.post-46404007084812065742011-08-22T21:20:00.308-06:002011-08-22T21:20:00.308-06:00A very classy response, as expected.

Many of us have followed the SCD strictly for a year or more and can now tolerate foods they never would have dreamed possible when they began the diet in very ill health. That's something to celebrate, not condemn.<br /><br />I think you've always been quite careful about noting when recipes are NOT SCD as well -- for instance, those containing chocolate. Keep doing what you do! You have a lot of fans.Nicolehttp://www.specialdietcreations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372504199686954022.post-19659654071732064742011-08-22T17:29:42.193-06:002011-08-22T17:29:42.193-06:00I am "Another Anonymous" not to be confu...I am "Another Anonymous" not to be confused with the first. Wow!! Wouldn't it be nice if everything in the world was either black or white, right or wrong? <br /><br />I want to thank you for your blog, it is one that I have subscribed to and I look forward to receiving your posts!! I am inspired by your ideas. I love to try new recipes, whether I have to adapt them to fit my son's dietary needs or not, and the links are wonderful. It shows that there is community for us. We are not alone. <br /><br />It is great that you do not have to follow SCD to a letter anymore and have found other foods that you can now tolerate! How awesome for you!<br /><br />While I am not glad that this comment came your way, it made me wake up and want to show my appreciation!

I think it is good to get criticism every now and then, it helps us think and evaluate, but at the same time it can really throw you for a loop momentarily. I think your experience with the SCD did exactly what it was meant to do, help you get better and move on a little. This year we have let Gordon have a few things not SCD legal (those things that are SCD legal on the package but may have minut amounts of starch in them), a couple of years ago that would not have been possible.Mrs. Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144247274657295271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372504199686954022.post-42488673595078335082011-08-22T14:59:59.258-06:002011-08-22T14:59:59.258-06:00Karen - what a great post!

They need to do what works for them. We were strict SCD for 3 years b/c that's what my dd needed. But now finally we can be more flexible. I just wanted to let you know that I have loved your blog. Your recipes are awesome and I wanted to thank you for the time that you put into keeping it up. Thanks also for sharing your blog list on the side. I can always find something to cook when I come to your site.ckcclanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15096668507553185975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372504199686954022.post-68170454460338842582011-08-21T22:14:07.005-06:002011-08-21T22:14:07.005-06:00Every body is different.

One size does not fit all. I have loved reading about your journey...from GFCF to SCD. I am not SCD, but I enjoy reading your recipes and the stories of healing that go along with them. In the end, you are free to do what's right for you and I'm glad you share that - your perspective has been edifying to me and I'm sure many others as well.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749681987163728489noreply@blogger.com
