Summary

Use these recipes to heal your gluten intolerance, celiac disease, IBD, IBS, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, diabetes, and food allergies For decades, people with incurable digestive problems have been helped by the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), a clinically tested way of eating that has gained increasing popularity in recent years. This book gives you easy-to-follow recipes that adhere strictly to the SCD while providing exceptionally tasty breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert ideas. Creating appealing recipes can be a challenge since the SCD restricts the types of carbohydrates and other ingredients that can be eaten, but the delectable dishes in this book are perfect substitutes for classic meals—you won’t even notice they’re made without sugar, gluten, grain, or lactose. A full, appetizing, and safe diet is possible with recipes like: Mexican meatball soup Sweet and sour chicken Carrot cake Apple cider donuts A more clinical and less restrictive approach to the recently popular paleo diet, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet recipes in this healthy cookbook go back to the basics, using natural foods that have always been eaten by humans rather than recently-developed complex sugars and chemical additives that are difficult to digest and can lead to a host of health issues. The book also includes over 50 color photos to illustrate these tasty meals.
