After doing nearly two years of research on my Fiancé's 'condition', I became convinced he had Crohns Disease. He had been hospitalized early last year for a fistula and released, without a diagnosis or any direction as to preventing another. I received instructions as to his dressing changes, but I was concerned about how to avoid another hospital stay. I found information online that described Crohns and the various drug and surgery treatments, all stating there was not a 'cure' for this disease. -Until I came across this book! This book outlines Crohns, Autism, neuro issues, all in a very easy to read, without being condescending way. The best part is after you understand the origin of each issue, you are given a step by step method of CURING it! From the first day I rec'd the book, I began fixing the recommended foods for my Fiancé and he has started to feel better! Now two weeks in my possession, he is starting to look better! He hasn't any complaints of indigestion or mouth sores. He can confidently enjoy a meal without the concern of what may follow and his energy levels are starting to return! The guidence is clear and the recipes easy to follow, this book makes what Dr.s haven't been able to figure out, almost easy. I am so grateful that a bit of a dietary adjustment and creativity has had such high dividends. If you have any health issues, I recommend picking this book up. -You'd be surprised just how much effect what you eat has on how you feel. I have to admit, even I feel better!Read full review
My husband became very ill this year and doctors ran dozens of tests but simply labeled him Irritable Bowel Syndrom. Which is what doctors label anything they can't figure out. He lost 40 lbs. in 2 months. Nothing he ate stayed in his body very long. I did research and found out about this diet. We were concerned it would be a huge adjustment and he was not looking forward to it. However, we found it to be an easy transition and my outlook on food shopping has completely reversed from what it used to be. We both enjoy the food and he has gotten better. We have decided to make this a lifestyle change. I think once you have the knowledge about all the additives in most foods we consume you will decide to stick with this.
This is an excellent, easy to read and easy to understand book. Written by a woman who worked closely with Dr. Haas and devoted her life to making this information possible to anyone who wants to read it. It clarifies some of the minconceptions and misinformation that's being provided, even by the medical community about CELIAC disease and other intestinal disorders. But most of all, it provides hope for true healing. The only shortcoming seems to me to be the lack of emphasis or clarification of how the diet must be done in stages. This is presented on a website that shares information about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, but is aimed at helping children with Autism: www.pecanbread.com The stages of the diet are made more clear there. The book does contain a great list of references in the back and websites for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.Read full review
A great book for anyone that has intestinal health issues. The diet has helped my son tremendously with his IBD issue as he is no longer is on any meds. The diet in this book has made all the difference in his current health. It takes time and discipline to follow the diet but it's worth it for a lifetime of good health.

This book is a great resource for feeling better through diet. Often Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn's Disease and Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome are difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat with traditional medical practices. This book offers a science backed diet approach to mitigating these bowel diseases and syndromes. The book is easy to understand and offers many good tasting recipes. It also provides helpful links for support groups, supplies, recipes, and foods. An easy read for an afternoon!
