I believe the diet is based on the Christian bible, and the book was written by a person with Chrons disease.

It sounds more like Celiac than Crohns. Let's face it, tons of people are misdiagnosed with Crohns when it is Celiac.

that's what I was thinking... that he was misdiagnosed with Crohns... but I noticed in his diet some of it does include gluten... hmmmmm just thinking out loud!

I would be wary of this guy. I was looking into his book and the supplements he sells (Garden of Life) and found this warning from the FTC concerning unsubstantiated claims and false claims of clinical proof.

I am looking into the SCD Diet and the book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, by Elaine Gottschall. It seems to be more reputable.

Christine,

A number of us for whom gluten free only doesn't work, have had success with the SCD. There have been some recent threads you might want to check out.

We have that book. It is christian based and it is so interesting to see how his life changed. He is healthy now and I don't know if they misdiagnosed chrohns or not ..it would not surprise me.

Thanks, Corinne. I did see those threads, although I was looking for them again today and couldn't find them. What forum were they in? When I did a search on SCD an error came up - I guess initials are not allowed??

I read it. Its a good book and the method and diet saved the authors life. I can't do the diet it too many things I can't eat. I looked in the back index and couldn't find anything referencing celiac disease. There is something on IBS.

Was thinking of donating it to my local library so other people who might need it can get some help too.

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins found in these other cereal grains. It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
    • Lori Lavell
      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
