Thank you for visiting my website. My goal is to give great HOPE to people suffering with digestive illnesses by sharing how I gained my health back through diet. Please join me as I share my story, the diet, recipe and menu ideas, and encouragement. While the SCD has successfully treated my Crohn's Disease, it also treats other diseases and conditions such as Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, Diverticulitis, Colitis, Autism, Cystic Fibrosis and IBS. I am living proof that you can take your health back into your own hands! Enjoy! ~Erin |

 Peek at our inbox.... | "The SCD has been a complete lifesaver for me. I went from being in such poor health while battling UC and taking medication that did not work that I was seriously thinking of having surgery to remove my colon. The SCD was a long process of healing (over 2 years) yet has given my life back. I have... now been on the diet for over six years and would have it no other way. Its just natural now. I have started a blog about my daily adventures with the SCD (http://twostepsscd.blogspot.com/) and have just published a book about it as well: Two steps forward, one step back. A journey through life, ulcerative colitis, and the specific carbohydrate diet. Available at Amazon.com...read more here. |

 | Easy Freezer Meal
Looking for a dinner you can make ahead and put in the freezer? Try this quick prepare-ahead meal, Steak Fajita Kits. You mix all the ingredients then divide them into individual quart-size zip top bags, press flat and freeze. When you're ready to eat, just dump the frozen contents of the right number of bags into the skillet and quickly cook - one per serving. Serve on lettuce as a fajita salad if you'd like. |

 | See the Starting the Diet page for tips, ideas, and recipes to use when you're getting started on the SCD. |

We wanted to share this delicious recipe for candy that tastes very much like Butterfingers...Take it to a party, and you won't feel a bit deprived! 
| "Butterfinger" Candy
1/2 c. real butter, at room temperature
3/4 c. honey
1-1/2 tsp. legal vanilla
1/4 c. crunchy legal peanut butter
In a medium mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, combine butter and vanilla with honey until light and fluffy. Add crunchy peanut butter and mix together.
Spoon small dollops onto wax paper on a cookie sheet, and either refrigerate or freeze.
(This recipe makes a lot, so you could cut the recipe in half if desired...)
Enjoy!

 old illegal version reads:
"fortified with Vitamins A, C, & E" -check carefully- | UPDATE: It appears that Dole has reversed their decision to add Vitamin A bound with cornstarch to their pineapple juice. We recommend that you still check the label before buying their products because there may be some of the illegal versions on the shelves. Thank you, if you contacted them to let them know how much we depend on their original products for our recipes! Our voices seem to have made a difference. |

Read what's new in our inbox... | I have a tip for you that some SCDers may not have tried yet. The first time I made yogurt I stood by the stove for an hour waiting for the milk to heat up. It was a real drag. The next time I made 2 quarts of yogurt I put... Read More "I wanted to thank you once again for having this website. I started the SCD after my son was born and my Crohn's was out of control. It worked great and I went into a bit of a remission.
