Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) Page
For our patients and friends who are using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.
The SCD, is the best diet tool I have found for helping heal some serious metabolic problems. People both in our practice and elsewhere have
reported that the SCD has helped with:
Digestive and intestinal problems including:
- Celiac Disease
- Colitis
- Crohns
- Irritable Bowel
- Inflammation
- Chronic Depression
- Autism
- Carbohydrate Addiction
- Chronic Obesity
- Chronic Fatigue
