What is the Specific Carbohydrate Diet?
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ 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.
Specific Carbohydrate Diet Association
Specific Carbohydrate Diet Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was created to unify the IBD community, the scientific community and other national opinion leaders, and advocate the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ as a primary therapy for combating IBD, IBS, celiac, diverticulitis, SIBO, autism, and all diseases for which the diet is appropriate.
