if dairy is the main trigger he might consider switching to raw dairy

products like raw butter, raw cream, raw cheeses, raw yogurt and kefir or

raw goat milk products. if you buy in bulk from a farmer it is no more

expensive than store bought dairy.

for an ulcerated intestine raw potato or raw cabbage juice first thing in

the am. also might want to consider fresh aloe juice

he should check into environmental causes like amalgams, chemical exposures

in his work or home and examine his diet more closely.

he would most likely get instant relief on the primal diet, but you say he

can't afford a special diet.

Thanks for a wonderful testimonial. I think that this just proves that most

diseases are just NOT diseases! I believe they just the habits - whether

eating, exercise, environmental, attitude or other habits. When are we going to

accept self-responsibility?

Best wishes and much love, Ken

Breaking the Vicious Cycle

by Elaine Gloria Gottschall

Amazon review:

Happy and healthy from now on., September 9, 2000

Reviewer: Post, Marnie (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease at age 18, I'd watched my

symptoms grow more severe as the years passed. Seven years later, my

flare-ups of the disease were becoming longer, more painful, and less

responsive to the lastest drugs. This book finally gave me some control.

I started using Elaine's diet on Jan. 1, 2000, determined to be well.

It's been eight months, and I'm doing great. My symptoms gradually

disappeared after 2 months on the diet. At this point I am 100% free

of symptoms with the exception of when I get a little lazy and eat out

more, or buy deli foods that I'm " pretty sure " are safe on the diet.

Inevitably I can backtrack and find the offending substance(s) in

foods that have brought about mild " reminders " . I've been off

prednisone for 3 months (longer than I've been off it in years), and

I'm off 80% of my other medications.

The suggestions in this book may seem difficult, or even impossible to

follow (believe me, 90% of my previous diet included foods that are

off limits on this diet), but no piece of bread, glass of milk, or

chocolate is worth experiencing the loss of health this disease, and

other GI diseases, imposes.

My most sincere thanks to Elaine Gottschall, Dr. Hass, and others,

whose research has given us the information in this book. I no longer

worry about how much longer I can get away with not having surgery,

where my income will come from after using all my sick days from work,

or what medications could harm my unborn child when it comes time to

start a family. Thanks to the specific carbohydrate diet, this disease

is under my control.

Support group information online can be found at scdiet.org.

Update 8/12/01 This diet has allowed me to be symptom-free and

medication-free for well over a year. The longer you do it the easier

it gets!

The Gottschall diet fails to take into account that the good bowel

flora must be robust enough to control the bad. SCD zealots try to

rewrite this natural function, claiming all prebiotics must be bad

because all fermentation is bad in the bowel. But if they remove the

prebiotics the bad bowel bacteria ferment things you don't want

fermented; all that does is remove the natural control mechanism of

an active, robust probiotic culture. The 'active' culture is key;

without the activity several functions are not performed.

So, the SCD is not very science-based, and I've helped several SCD

zealots by modifying their diet.. The following contains the science

that fails to appeal to the SCD adherents:

What the research says is gas, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation,

alone or in alternating combinations can all be caused by dysbiosis.

A few diseases may be caused by dysbiosis, and several diseases are

aggavated by the resulting toxin load.
