If you’ve been following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet or a similar approach for managing IBD, you might think all starches are off-limits. But what if I told you that some starches can actually support your gut lining, reduce inflammation, and help you stay in remission?

In today’s episode of Digestible Dialogues, I’m diving into one of the most misunderstood food groups for those of us with gut issues: resistant starch.

I’ll walk you through:

* What resistant starch is—and why it’s different from the “bad” kind

* How it supports butyrate production (aka your gut’s secret weapon)

* Which types are SCD-friendly (hint: they’re not as rare as you think)

* Smart food pairings for digestion and microbiome support

* My personal approach to RS2, RS3, and Bifidobacterium after 20+ years of healing

💡 Plus, I’ve created a quick reference guide for you with SCD-legal resistant starch sources and a 3-day sample meal plan to get started.

This episode is all about building a more resilient gut—not just avoiding triggers. If you’re ready to go beyond elimination and start nourishing your microbiome, I think you’ll find this one empowering.

As always, I’d love to hear your take. Have you tried incorporating resistant starches? Did it help? Hit reply or leave a comment—I read every one.

Here’s to a stronger, happier gut Sherry
