We teach and offer encouragement and support to those who are well and want to prevent future illness, to those with any kind of illness, to those with digestive/intestinal symptoms and disease of all kinds. We believe faulty digestion and malabsorbtion of nutrients to be the major cause of most health problems and disease today.
OUR OBJECTIVE:
- Heal the intestines with whole, natural, sugar-free, starch-free, grain-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, preservative-free, delicious, nutrient-dense foods
- Maximize digestion in order to gain the most from these healthy foods
- Balance nutrition in order to build a healthier body and immune system
- Share advantages of and sources for organic fruits and vegetables, pasture-grazed meat, and yard eggs.
SCD friends share success stories, recipes, and ideas for shortcuts in food preparation and cooking. Those who are following the SCD may bring a 'legal' food to share, with a list of all ingredients (since many are allergy sensitive in the beginning).
For questions, e-mail me at kstence@marykay.com or call 512-632-3682.
As always . . . eat healthy and safely,
Kay

About "Austin SCD Friends"
"ASCDF" originally began as a Celiac Support Group. We soon learned that most Celiacs could not get well or eliminate all symptoms by simply eliminating gluten from their diets. Many who had eaten gluten-free for years and continued to be sick began to follow the SCDiet. We saw them heal and thrive and many of their symptoms finally disappear. We also observed that many were eliminating various prescription drugs. We then began to fully embrace the Specific Carbohydrate Diet in our group.
We shared the SCD with people who have Crohn's Disease after they saw or heard that my husband's Crohn's Disease had gone into remission and that his health and life had transformed. When my Mother with Diverticulitis, my brother with IBS, another brother, a son, and myself with Celiac Disease all became well on the SCD, we KNEW we had found a great secret!
By word of mouth our group has expanded to embrace people with a variety of digestive/intestinal complaints and diseases, and also those who desire a healthy diet in order to not only heal, but prevent illnesses and disease. I am daily in contact with people from all over the world as one person tells another about what we call "Our Miracle Diet". We are just one of many such groups around the world who are touching and changing lives by spreading the SCDiet.
We were formerly known as "Austin Gluten-Free Friends".
We are gluten-free . . . but we are so much more!
