Helpful SCD Websites
Elaine Gottshall’s Website, Breaking the Vicious Cycle
Elaine Gottchall is the one who started it all with her groundbreaking book, “Breaking the Vicious Cycle”. This site is a wealth of information and a good place to start if you want information about the SCD. There are lists of “legal and Illegal” foods, testimonials from people who have had their loves changed by the SCD and links to many related sites.
Clink on the “Support” link for a listing of SCD friendly doctors and support groups around the world.
This is a great place to buy supplies to make the SCD easier. Yogurt makers and culture, very good quality almond flour, recipe books including one written by Lucy! Lucy is also a font of information and is always happy to help out with advice, answers to questions and suggestions!
Hundreds of recipes in alphabetical order and arranged by type and primary ingredient. Run by the author of “Adventures on the Family Kitchen” a great SCD cookbook with an East Indian “flavor”.
Kim runs an SCD email list that Karen has been participating in and enjoying quite a bit.
This is the website of a delightful woman named Erin. On it she tells the story of her own recovery from serious illness using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. It’s a very well put together site with lots of recipes (with pictures) and great tips to make the SCD easier, tastier and more fun. There’s a special page just for holiday recipes!
