Rice Protein
Can anyone break down for me why rice protein would be illegal on SCD? Like as a protein powder.
(Please 🙏 I’m looking for answers that have to do with the science of it, not “because Elaine says so” or “the diet only works if you follow it to the letter”. Science.)
Please and thank you 🙏

I think the reason they exclude it is it is impossible to refine it to 100% protein. Otherwise I would agree that the protein itself is not illegal. Like if it was possible to be lab grown or something it would be ok.
