Recipes For The Specific Carbohydrate Diet
by Chris Sadler - 1001Recipes2Send.com
For Raman Prasad, author of Recipes For The Specific
Carbohydrate Diet, finding the Specific Carbohydrate Diet
(SCD) was a necessity. Suffering a steady deterioration of
health for years after being diagnosed with ulcerative
colitis, Raman endured numerous hospital stays and health
complaints.
For sufferers of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), Celiac
Disease, Autism and Cystic Fibrosis eating can be like a walk
in a mine field. When your body can't properly digest food
you can suffer abdominal pain, vomiting, weight loss and many
other complaints. For many, the pharmaceutical treatment of
these conditions just doesn't do enough and the side effects
can be very unpleasant.
The SCD was created to help heal the intestine. It removes
foods that feed harmful bacteria which cannot be digested by
the injured intestine and then restores the balance of
beneficial bacteria. Using the recipes included in Recipes
For The Specific Carbohydrate Diet can help you reduce
symptoms, ease pain and regain your health. The beauty is
that there are no complicated routine to follow, just a
simple chart of what is and isn't allowed. Simple
substitutions for certain ingredients can make all of the
difference.
So the SCD is easy to follow but what about the actual
recipes? This cookbook would be a happy addition to any
chef's kitchen. The full colour photos of these mouthwatering
offerings make choosing a little difficult, but only because
they all look so very tasty. Even though I have no driving
need to cook food following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet it
is just so easy to do that I am going to make some of them
regular family favourites anyway.
Enjoy this wonderfully delicious sample recipe:
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
this American classic has been created for the SCD with fresh
pineapples. Do not use the canned variety, or if you do, make
sure that there are no preservatives or sugars added to them.
We prefer a fresh, ripe pineapple, as the juices from the
slices seep into the batter and flavor it nicely.
Ingredients
Batter
2 cups (220 g) almond flour, or more as needed
3 eggs
4 tablespoons (55 g) butter, melted
1/2 cup (160 g) honey
3/44 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/2 pound (230 g) fresh pineapple, thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C, or gas mark 4). Grease an 8
or 9 inch (20 - 23 cm) circular baking dish.
To make the batter, mix the batter ingredients in a food
processor until smooth. Add more almond flour if necessary to
make sure the batter is not too thin.
Layer the pineapple slices on the bottom of the baking dish,
and then pour in the cake batter and spread it evenly in the
pan.
Bake the cake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted into the center comes out clean.
Makes 15 to 20 Servings.
