Over at www.scdkat.com , Kat writes a review and a summary of some of the important contents of the book by the Dr's Hass's. It emphasizes the basis of the treatment for celiac disease is a diet, and that diet has to be healing to the digestive tract. The most healing diet is careful not to have the wrong carbohydrates.
It is now known as the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, and refined by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride as the Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet (GAPS Diet). I have recommended both and only in rare occasions have I seen people thrive on any other gluten-free diet. GAPS diet works on so many different levels: lowers dysbiosis, lowers gut inflammation, heals the lesions, increases absorption of macro and micronutrients, lowers incidence of food allergies, lowers incidence of metabolic syndrome or Syndrome X and the resultant obesity, and so much more.
Management of Celiac Disease by Dr. Sidney V. Haas, the creator of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, and his son, Dr. Merrill P. Haas. I found this book really interesting and packed with information. I took pages of notes but hope to summarize a bit more concisely here and then list some things I found most interesting to people following SCD now.
