Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet Millenium Edition
by Elaine Gloria Gottschall



Description


The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), developed by Dr. Haas for Elaine Gottschall's daughter, has been used successfully by many people to treat the following: Crohn's disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Diarrhea, and candidiasis. The premise of the diet is that damaged intestinal walls and bacterial overgrowth are a part of a vicious cycle that wreaks havoc with the body's health and immunity. The diet restricts the type of carbohydrates that feed these bacteria, thereby restoring the body's inner ecology. We recommend that you read Elaine Gottschall's book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health through Diet, for more in depth coverage, tips, and recipes about successfully using SCD to treat illnesses.

Specifics

SCD combats bacterial and yeast overgrowth by restricting the energy they require to live while keeping the host(us) well fed. This requires eating foods with little or no carbohydrates, or eating foods that contain monosaccharides which are quickly absorbed by the body. A list of allowed and disallowed foods follows. If you are unsure about a particular food, DO NOT EAT IT. Strict adherence is necessary to obtain relief from symptoms.

Take Charcoal Supplements.........buy from a Health/Nature Store!

BEANO......does not work....and is expensive....jusy a money maker for who ever invented it!

injun -
Looks like you are doing it right, seeking the cure, making changes. You deserve credit for that next time you clear the room!

Funny? - not much I bet.

I have one more thing to eliminate, to see "if" - grains. Wheat has celiacs disease, but you are not that advanced to need some name of bowel disease. Its simpler than that - the grains we eat today are engineered to be super high in Gliandin and other starches, musch of which we cannot even digest. It is a crime of huge proportions that they get away with it.
Then, add in the hydroginated oils that have been processed to have high "trans-fats" [so they can use the good part of the oils for other products]. These are what we cook much of our grains in, and they are undigestable. huge crime.

Metabolism gets all whacked with that situation. Things don't move along [motility]. They ferment, they gag us.

I was right where you are now, about 20 years ago. Do you get burps that smell like farts? No? good.
I found that PORK, with its high "[some type]acid", will cause smells from hell. But you are off meat altogether?

I assume your 'smell' is not like an ordinary fart, more like something that clings to the walls and peels the paint?
Do people sometimes throw up when you fart? - thats never happened to e, but it could eh?
Good luck Injun

My friend, I had the exact same problem. I'm 26, competitive runner now. The gas was just a nusaince for a while, until it started to do real damage to my intestine. Do a quick scan on celiac disease. That's just a fancy way to say you can't eat gluten.
