Food Products

Following the medical diet that I do, I know how hard it is to find food products in the stores that adhere to all the specific guidelines that I need.  I love to cook but sometimes you just want a snack/food that you can buy in the stores.   All these food products are ones that I personally use and believe in.  They are all grain, gluten and refined sugar-free and suitable for Paleo & SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) unless specified.  This page is updated regularly.  You can also find more ideas in my Amazon Storefront.
