Product Description
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a strict grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free dietary regimen intended for those suffering from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (both forms of IBD), celiac disease, IBS, cystic fibrosis, and autism. It is based on the work of Elaine Gottschall, who wrote Breaking the Vicious Cycle, which introduces the SCD and explains the importance of eliminating certain carbohydrates in order to alleviate digestive ailments such as IBD, IBS, and celiac disease. For those suffering from gastrointestinal illnesses, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) offers a method for easing symptoms and pain, and ultimately regaining health. Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet(TM) offers a diverse and delicious collection of 150 SCD-friendly recipes, that includes over 80 dairy-free recipes. The easy-to-make and culturally diverse recipes featured in the book include breakfast dishes, appetizers, main dishes, and desserts such as -- Hazelnut-Vanilla Pancakes, Olive Sandwich Bread, Chicken Satay, Roasted Bass with Parsley Butter, Thin Crust Pizza, Gretel's Gingerbread Cookies, and Mango Ice Cream. It is accompanied by 40 full-color photos that will inspire you to get cooking again. In addition, personal anecdotes accompany each section of this book.

A worthy addition to my cookbook library August 24, 2008
Shilpa (San Francisco, California)
A new recruit to the delights of cooking, my interest in cookbooks is currently at it's peak. What I've wanted are light, simple meals with fresh, clean tastes and this book certainly delivers. I've found several interesting recipes in this book that satisfy my hunger(and my bias towards aesthetically pleasing, well designed books: after all it's well known that one eats with ones eyes first).
I'm fortunate that I don't need to be on the SCD diet(was recommended this book by a friend, who I invited to dinner and needs to be)but honestly, with food as good as this, the SCD-ers need want for nothing!
Thank you to the authors for giving us this book.
Treasure chest of delicious recipes July 24, 2008
F. fiondella (nyack ny)
This cookbook is gorgeous and easy to follow. My wife and I use it to plan meals a few times a month. That neither of us has IBD really doesn't matter, since the specific carbohydrate diet is first and foremost about eating healthy, nutritious meals. I'm a mess in the kitchenif I can find a way to ruin a recipe, it most assuredly will happen. But everything in the book is so well thought out, and designed so cleanly, that even I manage to prepare something edible. Delicious even. Our toddler happens to be a big fan of the wild salmon over vegetables dish.
I've recommended this book to two friends who have family members with Crohn's disease. Both have called to thank me for putting them onto this fantastic resource.
Yummy Healthy Picks July 24, 2008
Carl & Saveena (New Haven, CT)
The recipes are easy to follow and we like the fact that some of the staple ingredients are used throughout the book (almond flour and SCD yogurt) so when we purchase or prepare it, we know we will be able to use the item for another recipe. The huevos rancheros, crackers, Raman's Surprise Salad, Eggplant Parmesan Bake and many more dishes are delicious and easy to put together. We don't follow a SCD diet but the recipies in here are yummy and healthy for any diet. Our favorite part of the book is the stories. We don't usually cook with a cookbook but cooking with Raman's book and reading aloud the stories as we prepare a meal makes for a wonderful cooking experience and allows us to enjoy the food even more!
Good for your guts! healthy, fresh, food, easy and fun to make. July 19, 2008

I am not on the SCD, but am interested in healthy (delicious and creative) food that is easily digestible and good for your guts. I am learning how important your guts are in fighting disease and your immunity.
The food is delicious and the recipes are easy and fun to make. I really enjoy reading the stories behind the recipes too.
Be kind to your guts, they do so much for you!
