Angie,

The items I left on the list above are all illegal. I suggest you review the

information in the book and on the website as each item would requirs an

explanation which appears there. Please don't seek out commercially prepared

foods aside from those like the few legal juices and cheeses, oils and nut

butters for example that are allowed. Atkins products are not manufactured to

be SCd compliant. SCD is not a low carb diet.

Many 'Atkins' type products are very very illegal on SCD. Just because it is

'carb free' doesn't mean it won't have illegals.

By saying there are no carbs, they are likely using sugars/starches that the

body cannot digest (sucralose is a good example). This is actually one of the

most dangerous things to consume on SCD because if we can't digest it, it goes

in to the colon and it feeds every bacteria and yeast in there.

Many people go on Atkins and find they get horrible stomach problems. I don't

think Atkins was created with all this processed food in mind, but companies

jumped on the bandwagon and have caused a lot of problems for many, in my

opinion.

I have yet to find one single Atkins commercial product that is allowed on SCD,

though there may be one out there somewhere. A friend of mine on a low carb

diet sends me links all the time to food she buys online thinking it will help

me, but none of it has been legal so far.

Home made ketchup is easy and yummy anyway - just boil down a can of tomato

juice until it's thick, add red wine vinegar, salt (if desired), honey, garlic

and onion. It's wonderful. I get prolly 24 ozs of ketchup from one can of

tomato juice. It's a great tomato sauce base, too - I use it for pizza sauce,

meat loaf, etc.

" Carbohydrate free " tomato ketchup from Walden Farms

Does anyone use this? This is my husband's Atkins-ordered ketchup,

and I thought of using it instead of having to make my own ketchup.

I'm calling the company to make sure it's GFCF, but if it is, I'm

thinking that " carbohydrate free " and " sugar free " means it should be

legal for SCD purposes, no? Here are the ingredients listed:

Water

Tomato paste

Apple cider vinegar

White distilled vinegar

Cellulose gel

Salt

Maltodextrose

Food starch modified

Onion powder

Garlic powder

Egg yolk

Xanthan gum

Propolene glycol alginate

Natural flavorings

Red cabbage coloring

Sodium benzoate (to preserve freshness)

Sucralose

Thanks!

Angie

Angie,

I have posted the illegal ingredients that I could find information about

from the Breaking the Vicious Cycle website. Remember this is not just a

sugar free, and gluten free diet (a lot more complicated than that). Also,

it is not a low carb diet. Most sugar free products are going to have

ingredients in it that are not allowed on SCD. My doctor put me on Sugar

Busters and most of what I can have, my daughter on SCD cannot. Read about

Splenda and such on the Breaking the Vicious Cycle website. SCD legal

ketchup is really easy to make.

tomato paste is illegal

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_t-z.htm

I don't know about cellulose gel, but cellulose gum is illegal

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_a-c.htm

malitol and maltodextrin are illegal, I would think maltodextrose is also

illegal

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_d-n.htm

oninon powder and garlic powder are illegal, unless you make it yourself

xanthan gum is illegal

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_t-z.htm

natural flavors are illegal

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_d-n.htm

sucralose is illegal

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_o-s.htm

I hope this helps,
