SCD and the GAPS diet come with strict food restrictions, but fortunately grain free flours like coconut flour make delicious, nourishing treats for these diets. There is nothing more comforting than smothering ultimate coconut flour pancakes with butter and sweet fruit preserves.
Unfortunately, store bought jams don’t fall under the SCD legal category since they contain pectin and sugar. There are a few alternatives to store bought jam, however.
Option one: make your own SCD legal jam, like Mommypotamus’ recipe.
Option two: try apple butter. It tastes like apple pie shoved into a jar, sans the crust. You can make your own or find it at most grocery stores. Make sure the ingredients contain only apples, no added sugar.
Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely useful information specially the final phase 🙂 I maintain such information much. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thanks and best of luck.
I see one of the ingredients is juice from concentrate. Juices from concentrates are banned on the SCD diet, so I’m not sure this would be legal.
It would not be (officially) legal with the concentrate unless it was confirmed with the company that nothing was added to make the concentrate. Often times, fruits can show up in ingredients because they use them to add (“natural”) sugar to the end product (which makes them illegal) as well as concentrated juices are illegal because they almost always have things added to them during the concentration process. That said, I’m sure it’s safer than many other jams.
Jamba Juice, for example, says their juices come from concentrate. However, they say they only concentrate for shipping purposes and nothing is added. If this is the case (I haven’t officially confirmed), it would make their concentrate legal.

I am on the SCD diet and I actually have found a few items that are SCD legal which can be purchased at the store as well. One is Jennies BIG macaroons (only the 2oz individual size). It contains sulfite free coconut, honey and egg whites. The other is Buddy Fruits apple chips (both flavors, 1.5 oz size). I have confirmed, as well, with these companies that there are apsolutely no other ingredients added besides what is listed. I agree though, that store bought ‘goodies’ should be approached with extreme caution. And, if you do choose to indulge in store bought treats continue to follow up with the company frequently to ensure ingredients haven’t changed.
Hi, I saw the comments about the juice from concentrate. If this is a concern then Filsingers Apple butter or pear butter. is just apples and baking soda.
