    My partner has diverticulitis and I was looking for books on diet that would help. Now I am just thrilled so many reviewers find this book worthy of 4 or 5 stars but for us it is laughable! Written by a lady long dead (probably from her diet) it seems to invoke some bizarre cult-like, pseudo-science nonsense God. It is just the pits! For the steep price you get a thin book with LARGE printing. Very few pages are devoted to talking about the diseases she claims to be able to help. Most of the book is a recipe-a-page of some of the most revolting tripe ever thought up. This woman is more “Vicious” than any disease she claims to address. A complete waste of money and paper. The only reason it may help others is because of the placebo effect or buyer’s remorse: buyer’s just want these “recipes” to work. Horrible and amateurish junk. Avoid!!!!

    I followed this diet religously for over two years and have come to the following conclusion. The diet is very very difficult to follow and if it doesn’t work for you then the only reason you will be given is that you did not follow the diet religously. There are many items in the book that do not make scientific sense such as “no items containing sugar are allowed” however “bacon with sugar is allowed once a week”. These discrepancies will never be addressed in later versions. My reccomendation is that you ONLY try this diet if you are able to make ALL of your own food from scratch and if you are willing to try this for many many months (again religously) even if it does not work for you.
    I believe that there is a strong ‘Placebo Effect’ which makes this diet work for some people.

    I have been following this book and the support list serve off and on for the past few years and have noticed that Mrs. Gottschall and her supporters will flock to write glowing reviews every time there is a review that contradicts her views of IBD and the cause/treatment of same. The fact of the matter is that the SCD book is based on weak science and ‘cures’ only a small percentage of IBD sufferers – therefore it is not the CURE for Bowel Disease that BTVC/SCD purports to be. The information contained in BTVC may lead researchers to a more definite cause/effect relationship between diet and IBD, someday, however it is not worth a complete change of lifestyle to find that you are one of the many that BTVC/SCD in its present form does not help.

    Sturve bacteria to death. And where, in bowels (!?) What an increadible idea ! By using this diet you practically illiminate any iron containing food from your menu. So if you have digestive deasese and most likely, already having difficulties absorbing Vitamin B complex and iron – you are on the way to killing yourself. After being on SCD for 7 months and becoming progressively weak and pale, I’ve had a routine blood test done, which came up with Hematocrite of 23 (!) At that point my physycian was insisting on blood transfusion, but I was lucky to get out of the situation with just Iron pills.
