Every Last Bite: A Deliciously Clean Approach to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet with Over 150 Grain-Free, Dairy-Free & Allergy-Friendly Recipes
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) has been hailed as the gold standard of dietary treatment plans for people suffering from autoimmune and digestive disorders. Its core focus is on eliminating nonessential carbohydrates known to cause inflammation, including grains, starchy tubers, and milk products high in lactose. The SCD can put you on the road to recovery from many debilitating symptoms caused by celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, and more. However, all too often people are deterred from trying it because they perceive it to be too restrictive or difficult.
Carmen Sturdy is here to prove that it is anything but! In her new cookbook, Every Last A Deliciously Clean Approach to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, Carmen shows how to prepare delicious, quick, easy, and above all satisfying meals that will please every palate. Each recipe is SCD compliant and promises all the taste and comfort of the familiar foods that you and your family have come to cherish.
While Every Last Bite is rooted in the principals of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, it goes beyond by offering modifications and substitutions to meet an array of dietary plans, including keto, Paleo, AIP, and more! Every Last Bite features more than 150 recipes that are grain-free, dairy-free and allergen-friendly. Also included are handy cooking tips, a guide to entertaining, and Carmen’s experience-based tips for keeping your health on track. Sample recipes

"Healed my gut without sacrificing a single ounce of flavor!"
When I was told by my gastroenterologist that I needed to follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) to manage my severe gut inflammation, I was absolutely devastated. The SCD is notoriously restrictive—no grains, no dairy, no refined sugars, and very strict rules about legumes and starches. I genuinely thought my days of enjoying comforting meals, baked goods, and family dinners were over. Every Last Bite completely saved my sanity and my digestive system.
The author has managed to take a highly medical, restrictive protocol and turn it into a vibrant, delicious, and deeply satisfying way of eating. With over 150 recipes, there is absolutely zero filler. The grain-free, dairy-free baking alternatives are nothing short of miraculous—I finally had a slice of sandwich bread and a warm breakfast muffin that didn't crumble into dust or taste overwhelmingly like almond flour. What I appreciate most is the "deliciously clean" approach; the recipes rely on whole, healing foods rather than a million highly processed SCD "legal" substitutes.
The weeknight dinners are fast, the allergy-friendly labels make navigating the kitchen a breeze, and the results speak for themselves. Within a month of cooking strictly from this book, my painful bloating drastically subsided, my brain fog lifted, and my energy returned. Even better, my non-dieting family devours these meals and never guesses they are eating "medical" food. If you are struggling with IBD, IBS, SIBO, or Celiac and need to follow the SCD, this book is your absolute holy grail. It gave me my life—and my love of food—back!
