Before starting the diet....take the time to get yourself set up.
1. Read through the Breaking the Vicious Cycle book by Elaine Gottschall
2. Do a kitchen cleanse and get the basic ingredients you will need to make the recipes (see basic ingredients post)
3. Make a batch of homemade yogurt and homemade creme fraiche (also called French Cream). First start by buying a reliable yogurt maker. I found mine on amazon.com and it is by Aroma.
4. When shopping read the labels very very carefully for hidden sugars and gums.
Getting yourself prepared will make the transition to this diet much easier. Don't rush into it until you feel ready, because cooking will never be the same once you start. Give it a couple weeks and you'll soon develop a rhythm of prepping and shopping at the store....
Hey Naomi! Another option if someone doesn't want to use a yogurt maker to prepare homemade yogurt is to follow the method on my mother-in-law's website for making homemade yogurt. Feel free to check it out at www.paularhodes.com

Thanks Susie :) For the SCD diet it is key that the yogurt processes for 24 hours to get out most of the lactose no matter what method is used. It's nice to have options. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteHi! This blog is amazing. I've been dealing with Crohn's Disease for 3 or 4 years now (diagnosed) and it is not easy. Finding your blog was truly really amazing for me. Good luck!

Wonderful :) It's been a long journey for our family too, and I am just hoping that some of this will bless others.
