Intestinal problems are cause of second greatest number of hospital admissions; maternity cases are first. In fact, four out of ten people visiting their doctors are there because of gastrointestinal complaints diarrhea, excess gas, loss of weight, excess mucus, cramping, blood loss, severe constipation. Not only are these disorders widespread, they exact a high toll in pain, suffering and expense.

Many diseases can be prevented, alleviated, or cured by nothing more than the correct diet.
       
Initially Ms. Elaine Gottschall wrote a book BREAKING THE VICIOUS CYCLE. Her four-year-old daughter was diagnosed severe, incurable ulcerative colitis. She wanted to share her knowledge she learned during three decades of her daughter's sickness. The book was a result of her inexplicable struggle to stay her daughter alive and prevent from an ileostomy operation (Surgical procedure that creates an opening from the ileum through the abdominal wall to function as an anus; performed in cases of cancer of the colon or ulcerative colitis surgical amputation of colon and substitution with an external bag).

In the book “BREAKING THE VICIOUS CYCLE” Elaine Gottschall has elaborated how different diets and carbohydrates (starches and sugars) affect the behavior and development of the body. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet can prevent, improve, and heal the gastrointestinal disorders.
