Diets Streamlined for Those with Disabling Chronic Conditions
(Revised) There are lots of diet plans to choose from. Each has its own claims to fame — or at least its promise of a more healthful eating lifestyle.

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ (SCD™) is a grain-free, lactose-free, and sucrose-free diet that was originally designed for Celiac Disease.

The SCD™ is proving helpful to many with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia as well.
The SCD was designed by Dr. Sidney Haas for his young Celiac patients. Years later his son, Dr. Merrill Haas also joined him in his research and together in 1951 they published a book called Management of Celiac Disease.

While those of us with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or Fibromyalgia — or anyone else for that matter! — probably will never match the cartoon guy in strength and endurance, we do seem to be coming close to matching Popeye in spinach consumption. At least when it comes to the fresh stuff. According to information on the USDA Economic Research Service in the 1970s we each only ate about 5 ounces of spinach annually; in 2004-2006 we each averaged eating about 2.2 pounds of the fresh spinach a year.

Contrary to what the I’m-smarter-than-thou types at those centers for stuff supposedly in our best interest have been telling us, it turns out that you can (occasionally) have fries with that!
