I have to admit to not exploring the world of SCD breads.

I’ve hear Lois Lang’s bread mentioned many times, though I can’t say what it’s like.
Here’s a link for the recipe: http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-bread/lois-lang-lite/

As for foods I always have on hand, here’s some I can think of: cheese, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, hamburger, steak, chicken breast, pork chops.

I also always have chili powder and garam masala on hand. Here are the recipes for those:

I go through a lot of onion and garlic powder. Yes, I know, the BTVC book says that they are illegal. I use Penzeys brand (http://www.penzeys.com) as someone got a letter from them saying that they do not contain any illegals. Here’s a copy of that letter. If you are concerned with this, you can make your own with a dehydrator.

Other valuables I keep on hand are extra virgin olive oil, refined walnut oil, dark sesame oil, peanut oil, black peppercorns for fresh grinding.

Be sure to look through my recipes section for other ideas.

I sure think you can freeze them although I have to confess that I’ve never done so. I go through them fast enough that freezing doesn’t make sense for me. If you are unsure, try an experiment. Freeze just one for a week or two and see how it holds up.

( Hmmm. This sounds like something I should do so I can give a definitive answer. )

I’m glad you love them – that makes me smile.

Perhaps you could freeze them at a neighbor’s to help curb the ODing?

Just tell your neighbor that they are prescription health food so they won’t eat them…

Thank you. I’m glad you are enjoying them. I agree, the recipe does lend itself to variation.

I’ve posted the recipe on calorie counter where it displays nutrition information (I’m trying to get fit). You can see it here:

I’ve also modified this recipe by adding cinnamon, nutmeg and using carrots. Makes a nice treat, too. I’ll post that recipe when I find what I did.

I got married.

Okay seriously now; The SCD certainly can change the way you socialize, but before the SCD I spent a lot of time at social events in the bathroom. At least now, I can socialize with the people I want to see rather than be stuck alone in their bathroom. This change, I like.

It’s all based on a simple decision. I wanted to improve the quality of my life without having to assume the risk of side effects from medications. Your son needs to weight the benefits of the SCD against the inconveniences of living with it.

As for the practical aspect of dealing with the diet and a social life it just takes some forethought. For example, I might eat before going out with friends or I might have a snack beforehand and eat a meal when I return. Sometimes I will bring my own snacks or meal. He can keep a stash of snacks in his car for those impromptu moments. He does not need to go hungry.

Your son may feel embarrassed to be different, but there are ways around that too. For the people closest to him, he can explain what’s going on and how important it is to him. Good friends will understand. For all others, he can simply say that he has severe food allergies and leave it at that.

How do you deal with this?
