I would like to remind people that feel that following a gluten free diet because I have celiac disease is not a choice but I am trying to save my life.  That if I don't follow my diet to the letter that I will continue to have stomach damage possibly to the point of giving myself cancer.  It's like quitting smoking it's life saving - not a choice.

I'm planning on starting the specific carbohydrate diet soon....The SCD diet is based off of Elaine Gottschall's book Breaking the Vicious Cycle. It cuts out grains, sugars, processed foods and many other foods that cause problems. It is a very strict diet and needs 100% adherence, but I've heard testimonies of so many people healing their intestines because they followed it so closely.

Perhaps you were thinking about starting the SCD diet, too, because the gluten free diet just isn't cutting it. If so, I would love to have an accountability partner to keep each other accountable (and who knows, there may be others!). This is my second time around and I want to follow it 100% right this time. I'm making a committment to try it for 90 days. If that's you too, let me know, and let's get healthy together!!

I'm committed to seeing huge results after 90 days. It's going to be hard but worth it.

I have also been looking into the SCD diet.  I keep hearing about how going gluten-free will stop the symptoms, but really won't help heal my damaged stomach.  The only problem is that I was overweight to start out with, then when I went gluten-free crazy eating everything gluten-free in sight I gained at least another 20, not watching carb intake at all. Now I'm on Medifast gluten-free, have lost 20 but have another 20 to go.  I am feeling wonderful, what symptoms I did have are gone. But not ready to give up my Medifast yet, but kudos to you, I hope it shows some healing progress for you.  Good luck!
