Take Control of Your Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac Disease, or IBS... and Restore Your Freedom

Hi, we’re Steve Wright and Jordan Reasoner from SCDlifestyle.com, two average guys who rejected conventional medicine by facing our fears and healing our guts using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.

If you have a digestive disease like us, then you’re probably experiencing diarrhea or stomach pain right now and it might even be hard for you to get out of bed in the morning because your energy is so LOW.  

If this is the case you have most likely seen doctors who have told you to do all the WRONG things to try and take control of your bowels.  

If you're anything like us you’ve probably read or been told to: 

• Eat Only Whole Grains
• Take more prescription drugs
• Eat more fiber
• Follow an elimination diet to figure out food allergies
  

The problem is: all of these "prescriptions" are treating the symptoms of your problems and none of them ever address the actual root cause of your digestive trouble!

Healing the root cause of digestive disease starts with calming full body inflammation and re-balancing the gut bacteria. The best way to treat the root cause is by following a version of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet that's custom fit for YOUR needs.

When both of us started following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, we stopped our diarrhea, gas, constipation, low energy, and stomach pain in the first 30 days, and now years later we still feel AMAZING!

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet works, plain and simple, but it's a little different for everyone. We learned this the hard way by healing our bodies and then helping hundreds of others do the same.

The diet takes some customization to heal each individual, and not making this simple adjustment causes so many people to give in and fail, thinking they will never be able to live a life free from bloody toilets and awful gas.

That's why we wanted to capture the "real world" experience we obtained healing ourselves and helping others personalize the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for their intestinal damage. We captured it all in a book to teach you the RIGHT things to do to heal your gut.

These "RIGHT" things are based on innovations we created personalizing the SCD, so if you already know about SCD, this is really going to help you.

Inside our eBook we're going to walk you through exactly how to customize the SCD to heal your own gut - based on how we took control of our health and stopped living our lives in a bathroom.

Following our program has allowed people to…

• Naturally control the symptoms of digestive disease without DRUGS!
• Finally take a road trip or go out on the town without worrying about where the nearest bathroom is
• Take control of their health, so they're no longer victims of digestive disease
• Have better mental energy, clarity, and focus
• And no longer let down people they love because, "they don't feel good today"

While these benefits may seem impossible today, many people just like you have achieved even more using the SCD and our guidelines...

Here's what successful SCD'ers had to say about our ebook:

"I started having problems again even off the gluten"

I've been gluten free for years, and it has helped me a lot. But in the past few years, I started having problems again even off the gluten. This book has answered so many questions about why other grains and even potatoes have been bothering me. Now that I understand the logic behind the diet, I think it will be much easier to eat right. Four out of my five siblings are also gluten sensitive, and I've already forwarded a number of links, including yours, to them. 

I like the pictures and direct instructions about what to do first, next, and so on. Shopping lists were very helpful, especially the information about yogurt makers. The book is very readable and understandable, putting everything into straightforward language. This makes the task of preparing all the meals seem very doable, and not so hard. Not having to worry about how to follow the diet is definitely giving me the momentum to succeed at this.

"Only someone who is successfully on this diet after trial and error can really be of help"

As lucky as I feel about finding BTVC, I feel equally fortunate that I found Steve and Jordan's book; Surviving to Thriving!! book is like an instruction manual on how to successfully start and stay on the diet! Elaine said; "the difficulty of adhering to it should not be minimized." no matter how much support you have at home or from a physician, only someone who is successfully on this diet after trial and error can really be of help and know what you're going through. these two guys spell it out for you!

After the intro diet felt a little lost about what to do next. made a few mistakes that gave me unpleasant setbacks and wasn't sure what I was doing wrong. I found Surviving to Thriving, I thought wow! here are people who have gone through the same thing as I'm going through! They are willing to share their mistakes and successes and guide me through phasing!" After reading their book I actually re-started the diet to do it correctly!! My favorite part of the book talks about how to introduce new foods, and what is easy/hard to digest. found this invaluable! Surviving to Thriving moved my healing forward and I'm so grateful.

- NiaNetta, ulcerative colitis since 1994

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is based on over 50 years of microbiology and digestive research that has helped thousands of people just like you stop the symptoms of digestive diseases

The principles of SCD were developed by Dr. Sydney Valentine Haas, and were originally described in his book, "The Management of Celiac Disease" that was published in 1951.

The book "Breaking the Viscous Cycle" was written by biochemist and cell biologist Elaine Gottschall, who cured her daughters ulcerative colitis using the SCD and researched digestion for over 30 years. Her ground breaking book expanded on the work of Dr. Haas to explain all the science behind the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and why you feel the way you do. We like to think of it as a superhighway to health.

The guidelines of SCD have been healing people for over 50 years and it's the only road map we've found that gets you on the fast track to indentifying and NATURALLY stopping the symptoms of digestive disease.

The Truth No One Wants To Admit

Diet Modification is not one size fits all approach - everyone is a little different when it comes to achieving a healthy gut. Some people can start SCD following the rules exactly and see great success - but many others such as us need a logically laid out customization program to heal their intestinal damage.

We designed our eBook to be your blueprint for creating your own personal entrance ramp to merge on the superhighway of SCD health, so you don’t have to sit back and watch everyone else whiz by at 80 mph! 

“It was amazing to see such a dramatic difference even from
the backward movement to the intro diet and phase 1”

I tried the diet before I was really ready to do it right and was actually on it 100% but in the wrong stage for a month before I started it again this time. It was amazing to see such a dramatic difference even from the backward movement to the intro diet and phase 1. The book showed how to set up a functioning support network, to ask for help and that it is okay to accept help. Showed I am not alone and really worked out the kinks of the most difficult part of the diet - starting it. Thanks so much for putting it together!

- Amanda Hennigar

“I experienced joy after knowing that starting SCD is not hard”

The guide is easy to follow and implement. It really benefits someone who has no previous knowledge of cooking in the first place. I really liked the step by step guide of how to cook demonstrated with pictures.  I experienced joy after knowing that starting SCD is not hard with a guide like this.

- Hao Pan

"My IBS flared and I became constipated and miserable”

I had been on the SCD for about 6 months and felt so good that I started to get cocky and think I was better. I would occasionally indulge in foods that had previously made me feel bad. Well, that didn’t work so well.My IBS flared and I became constipated and miserable. I decided to re-start the SCD a couple of weeks ago and I decided that this time I really needed more support than I previously had received. Through people I’m following on twitter, I found Jordan and Steve and decided to order their book.The book has been great in helping me begin again with the intro diet and ease back into the SCD.I’ve only started cooking in the last 6 months so I really appreciate the step-by-step directions for preparing food.I also really like the guides for each stage.I really need the structure right now to keep me on track and this book totally helps.

Here's What More People Had to Say About It:

"I think it will save people time and mistakes"

I think you provide a great resource for those who want a linear, step-by-step approach to the first 90 days on the SCD. Those in or just out of college, those intimidated by the "feel it out as you go" approach, and perhaps even those with children will find value in what you are putting together. This book agglomerates information from several sources, and experiences, that I think will save people time and mistakes.  I think your cautious approach to starting the SCD will indeed increase the speed at which people heal, and will help people to know for sure if the SCD will work for them.

"I loved that it gave a good idea of what to expect psychologically"

I loved that it gave a good idea of what to expect psychologically. As an emotional eater this was what tripped me up before. Knowing some tools (like writing the days on my hand) and focusing on how far I've come have really helped. I assigned to witnesses and they have been huge help, there is no cheating when they are around rooting for me!

Also, knowing that other people have done the diet dairy free has been very supportive. The way the book was written it feels more like a conversation with a supportive friend than a do this, don't do this book. Secondly, the reinforcement of taking it slow adding foods in has allowed me to uncover some huge allergies that I just couldn't confirm before. You may want to look into Sulphite Allergies, I think it was the reason that the gelatin and grape juice didn't work out for me.

"I am so glad to have it"

You have a lot of great information here -- it really is a wonderful resource and I am so glad to have it.

- Christina, www.organicallyautoiumme.com

This much is true: At some point in your life you're going to want to travel near or far, or have a nice evening out on the town, or attend a social function with your family and have a great time...

The question is - are you going to have control over your digestive disease? Or are you going to let the fear and anxiety from your digestive disease control you?

It doesn't have to be that way. We don't want anything to stop you from experiencing those events happy and worry free, because we've been there and know how much it sucks. We assume all your risk so that you can focus on getting started healing right away.

If for any reason you're not satisfied with our products or the specific carbohydrate diet we don’t want to keep your money.  We offer such a rock solid guarantee because just like you, we tried so many other failed methods, and we don’t want you to be afraid or assume any risk that this one will be just another disappointment.

The SCD Lifestyle Solution: Here's Everything You Get

After gaining experience helping others create their personalized SCD protocols, we decided to take a critical look at our book to make sure there was no doubt in our minds that you were getting everything you needed to eliminate your digestive pain. That's when we realized that there were some missing pieces...

When we tried to add them to our book, we realized that they just didn't fit. So we set out to do the next best thing, create more material that would explain the ideas in an easy to use format. We also realized that in today's world people are short on time and need an easy way to learn our material on the go. So we recorded our book as part of the package.

4 Reasons Why This CAN Work

How can you be sure that our book SCD Lifestyle – Surviving to Thriving will get you started down your personal healing path and relieve your horrible digestive troubles?

Reason #1: It is backed by 50 years of time tested science and was developed by doctors treating real cases of digestive disease.  

Reason #2: The diet works, on actual real people.  This is not some magic pill solution, it is backed up by countless numbers of people who no longer suffer from their crippling digestive diseases.  

Reason #3: We have taken care of everything you need with simple step-by-step directions.  We’ve been through public embarrassment of gas, looked in the toilet and saw blood, and had to clean up when we didn’t make to the bathroom on time.  We’ve made it our reasonability to make sure you can follow in our footsteps.

Reason #4: You have no risk! We stand behind our 365 day money back guarantee, we just want to help people conquer their digestive diseases and we know that if you follow our guidelines you can start to feel better.  Besides, there are no horrible side effects of modifying your diet to eat natural healthy foods.  

Whatever You Do, DON’T Take Your Health Lightly!

Despite what others might tell you, if you continue using drugs and eating the same foods, it's likely that your digestive disease will continue to get worse.

One of the biggest myths of conventional medicine is “diet does not affect your digestion.”  Another HUGE myth is that “no natural ways exist to stop the symptoms of digestive disease”

These are MYTHS that can cost your livelihood and leave you stranded on the toilet for hours a day

Help is Just a "Click" Away

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet works on the root causes of your digestive issues, starts your body's natural healing properties and gets you well on your way to optimal health. Drugs are not the way to better digestion... 

The Only Question Is: Will You Take Advantage Of The Opportunity?

Incredibly, these small-but-powerful changes won’t be “worth the effort” for the majority of people who read this.

They’d rather wait for a “magic pill” medical cure that will never come.

Either they don’t believe such a simple, straight-forward approach can succeed where modern medicine has failed — or they just aren’t willing to lift a finger to save their own life.

What a shame.

The fun these people are missing and the consequences of their “magic pill” mindset is literally robbing them of the life they desire.

But That’s Not You, Right?

I didn’t think so.

Don’t let your digestive disease steal one more moment of your life

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this book right for me?

Who Should Buy This Book... 

• If you're planning on or desire to start the SCD Diet soon
• If you're aleady on the diet and not getting any better (our approach will show you how to re-boot and get results)
• If you're afraid that the diet isn't going to work (we'll make sure you start it right the first time)
• If you have a digestive disease and want to stop the symptoms NOW and more importantly; you're ready for a change
• If you're overwhelmed, confused, or scared about starting and committing to the SCD diet 
• If you want simple step-by-step picture directions on how to properly cook SCD style
• If you are unsure if you can balance the SCD diet, work life, and your social life
• If you have no clue how to cook SCD foods (like peeled, de-seeded, and cooked fruits and veggies)
• If you realize that starting a diet like this takes a little bit of extra psychological help to be successful

  Who Should Not Buy This Book... 

• If you're a professional cook or your name is Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart, or Rachel Ray
• If you've read and understood every SCD website, blog and yahoo group message 
• If you're looking for immediate health miracles without doing any of the hard work 
• If you've been on the SCD Diet for at least 6 months and are already seeing great success 
• If you're still searching for a "Magic Pill" to solve your digestive problems, this diet isn't for you 
• If you're allergic to hard work and commitment this book isn't going to help you much and you'll probably never see results from the SCD Diet

2. What if the diet doesn't work and I don't get any better?

That is quite a negative thought your having... and most likely not going to be the case.  The diet works to heal the gut of most people that have digestive issues. "What if" thoughts are never helpful and only prevent you from seeing what might have happened. How about this: "What if you started the diet and got better and no longer had to worry about where the nearest bathroom was?"Why not give it a chance to work, and if it doesn't, you won't be any worse off, plus we will give you 100% of your money, back no questions asked (remember our personal guarantee?).

3. How much of my time is this diet going to take up?

At first, it will take some time to hop on the learning curve and you will spend some more time in the kitchen that you probably do now.  But don't worry, that is why we created the guide... to save you time. The best part is, as you start to heal you will start to get the time back that you used to spend in the bathroom or laying in bed with an upset stomach!  If you follow the guide and stick to the diet, the time you spend in the kitchen will be less and less as you get more experience. 

4. My Dr. and my family think I am crazy for starting this diet, what should I do?

The only person that can make the decision to start the diet is you.  But our guide has detailed information about how to integrate the SCD diet into your lifestyle (hence the name, SCD Lifestyle). We give you tips on how to talk to your doctor about the diet (or find a new one if you have to) and how to work the diet into your family life to help keep everyone functioning just like the old days (but better because you won't be sick anymore)!
