Wa'il, you are typing almost as fast as I do..

One diet that I feel is worth mentioning is The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) by Dr. Elaine Gottschall, PhD. This is not a weight loss program per se ... but rather a diet that eliminates all grains and sugar to help reverse bowel diseases such as Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, diverticulitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and others. There are only 2 websites I've seen that deal with this, and from what I can gather, many folks who suffer are following lowcarb programs and message boards to get ideas how to live a sugar- and starch-free life. The diet is higher in carbs from fruits, vegetables, beans/pulses, and nuts ... and advocates the consumption of yogurt, kefir and other live gut-friendly cultures.

I would be happy to create a summary of the SCD - Specific Carbohydrate Diet.
