I believe the diet is based on the Christian bible, and the book was written by a person with Chrons disease.

It sounds more like Celiac than Crohns. Let's face it, tons of people are misdiagnosed with Crohns when it is Celiac.

that's what I was thinking... that he was misdiagnosed with Crohns... but I noticed in his diet some of it does include gluten... hmmmmm just thinking out loud!

I would be wary of this guy. I was looking into his book and the supplements he sells (Garden of Life) and found this warning from the FTC concerning unsubstantiated claims and false claims of clinical proof.

I am looking into the SCD Diet and the book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, by Elaine Gottschall. It seems to be more reputable.

Christine,

A number of us for whom gluten free only doesn't work, have had success with the SCD. There have been some recent threads you might want to check out.

We have that book. It is christian based and it is so interesting to see how his life changed. He is healthy now and I don't know if they misdiagnosed chrohns or not ..it would not surprise me.

Thanks, Corinne. I did see those threads, although I was looking for them again today and couldn't find them. What forum were they in? When I did a search on SCD an error came up - I guess initials are not allowed??

I read it. Its a good book and the method and diet saved the authors life. I can't do the diet it too many things I can't eat. I looked in the back index and couldn't find anything referencing celiac disease. There is something on IBS.

Was thinking of donating it to my local library so other people who might need it can get some help too.
