Hi, thanks for the info I tried SCD for 1 week - 4 separate times. After one week I was always too weak to continue. Another issue with SCD for me is that I am an athlete and had important games 3 x a week and the lack of carbohydrate was killing me, no matter how many vegetables I tried to eat. I want to try to wean down on the carbs until I can...

Hi all - thanks for all the replies! I see what you mean! My main concern is cross contamination or unknowingly eating gluten on a regular basis.

Hmm that's true I bet dry beans are safer, just less convenient, thanks

Hi all - I know black beans are generally considered gluten free but I noticed the one's from Trader Joe's are made on the same equipment as some offending foods, I only checked this after eating them and having a possible reaction. What beans do you all use that you're 100% about ? thanks!
