Hi all,

I just read some very interesting stuff (thanks YankeeMom!) about the brain/gut connection and how important it is to heal the gut to regain health...

see:

I am hopeful this diet may help with my son's OCD and stomachaches, as well as allergies. He is still being treated for lyme, etc.

I would love to hear if anyone has tried this diet or heard about it.

Thanks,

tickbattler

I haven't tried it but I read over it and it makes a lot of sense to me.

Yes I have tried a similar diet (the SCDiet) and I do think it helped. It helped with my GI symptoms and all the research Ive done shows that low carb diets-- no sugar, grains, low starch diets are the best for anyone with a chronic illness.
