The Specific Carbohydrate Dietâ„¢ has helped many thousands of people with

various forms of bowel disease and other ailments vastly improve their quality

of life. In many cases people consider themselves cured. It is a diet intended

mainly for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis,

cystic fibrosis and chronic diarrhea. However it is a very healthy, balanced and

safe diet that has health benefits for everyone. The foods that are allowed on

the Specific Carbohydrate Dietâ„¢ are based on the chemical structure of these

foods. Carbohydrates are classified by their molecular structure.

The allowed carbohydrates are monosaccharides and have a single molecule

structure that allow them to be easily absorbed by the intestine wall. Complex

carbohydrates which are disaccharides (double molecules) and polysaccharides

(chain molecules) are not allowed. Complex carbohydrates that are not easily

digested feed harmful bacteria in our intestines causing them to overgrow

producing by products and inflaming the intestine wall. The diet works by

starving out these bacteria and restoring the balance of bacteria in our gut.

The Specific Carbohydrate Dietâ„¢ is biologically correct because it is species

appropriate. The allowed foods are mainly those that early man ate before

agriculture began. The diet we evolved to eat over millions of years was

predominantly one of meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, nuts, low-sugar fruits. Our

modern diet including starches, grains, pasta, legumes, and breads has only been

consumed for a mere 10,000 years. In the last hundred years the increase in

complex sugars and chemical additives in the diet has led to a huge increase in

health problems ranging from severe bowel disorders to obesity and brain

function disorders. We have not adapted to eat this modern diet as there has not

been enough time for natural selection to operate. It therefore makes sense to

eat the diet we evolved with.

The Specific Carbohydrate Dietâ„¢ was clinically tested for over 50 years by Dr

Haas and biochemist Elaine Gottschall with convincing results. From feedback

from the various lists and other information at least 75% of those who adhere

rigidly to the diet gain significant improvement.

Check out the reviews of the book of the diet by Elaine Gottschall Breaking The

Vicious Cycle at Amazon.com, the vast majority give an excellent review.
