    Twice a year, twenty or more people on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet gather for a potluck luncheon in Southern Ontario, Canada, usually in Toronto.Over time, the roster of homemade food from these occasions has become classic. We are such a small segment of the world-wide Specific Carbohydrate Diet community, so it is flattering that our recipes rank high...

    Celiac disease has a long and ancient history. The Roman physician, Aretaeus chronicled the very symptoms we associate with it today and a number of historical celebrities, including royalty were afflicted.When Marie Antoinette uttered her most famous quote, she didn't have us in mind. Still it's good to know that "Let them eat cake," can be applied to us...

    When it comes to technical and scientific articles on Celiac disease, this web site is a gold mine!I've been here less than a month and although I haven't read every article and blog, I certainly plan to. I've been too busy writing my own thoughts and have some about the old KISS formula, "Keep It Simple Stupid."Well, we are neither simple nor stupid; Celiac...

    Rice has a reputation as a super food.The Specific Carbohydrate Diet excludes rice for adults. Children with weak digestive systems or Autism Spectrum Disorder should avoid rice.In her book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle," Elaine Gottschall quotes Juliano (1972) "Some kinds of rice contain small amounts of amylopectin starch and large amounts of amylose starch...

    One of the major criticisms leveled against The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is that 99% of food must be prepared at home. There are hundreds of convenience products available in markets and specialty stores for other Gluten Free diets. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet suggests homemade food is safest to ensure better results on the diet.Why such strictness on...

    Do I thank Al Gore for helping me understand celiac disease?Although Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet, he did discuss his role in Internet development in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Claims that the former U.S. Vice President invented the Internet are an urban legend.The Internet has played a major role in arming me with coping...

    The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is efficient at keeping weight stabilized once a normal weight is attained. Take my trusty Tanita weight scale before it becomes rusty.I still perch on the digital Tanita weigh scale the first thing every morning--jiggling a bit from side to side to push the number lower (Despite the fact the read-out rarely changes or wanders...

    Celiacs Need An Exit Strategy.Eating is a very social activity. It plays an important role in cultures word wide. Did you know that Polynesians are more private about dining than about sex?Last week I listened to one of those provocative obnoxious radio talk show hosts that demonized those who have special diet requirements. He said we should just eat what...

    Your approach, attitude and degree of personal commitment to lifelong dietary restrictions is so important. You can make protecting your intestinal health a positive and creative experience rather than getting mired in regret or resentment over having to sacrifice certain foods. I have always viewed my diet as the glass more than half full and made every...

    December 21, 2007 (shortest day of the year)Celiac Disease and the requirement for commitment to a long term restricted way of eating seemed like the end of the world but it quickly became a whole new beginning (When you love to eat you don't swallow defeat easily) I never imagined giving up many sugars and starches would turn me into a fast and imaginative...
