Raman Prasad was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at the age of seventeen. His health steadily deteriorated in the years that followed, resulting in several hospital stays and various health complications. It was during this time that he came across Elaine Gottschall's book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, which outlined the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and the science behind it for putting inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, and diverticulitis in remission. Raman has followed the SCD successfully for more than ten years, which has resulted in a happy return to good health and a normal life. Inspired by his recovery, he established www.scdrecipe.com in 1998, which includes over 500 SCD recipes and other relevant information about the diet. Prasad is also the author of the self-published memoir Colitis & Me: A Story of Recovery and the SCD cookbook Adventures in the Family Kitchen, which combines traditional Italian-American and Indian family recipes.
"People following a restrictive diet often lament the loss of foods
and flavors they love. Raman Prasad's subtle modifications of
delicious recipes from around the globe bring international flavor
and zest to your home's SCD kitchen. There is no passport required
for this delicious quest for a healthy gut!" - Mike Simons,
Co-webmaster, www.scdiet.org

Gottschall and it will be an invaluable resource for those

and gourmet recipes. This book will give families the confidence
they need to heal." - Pam Ferro, R.N., Founder of The Gottschall
Autism Center
"This clever book is not just a great supplement to the Specific
Carbohydrate Diet, making dieting into a pleasure, but will also
