It addresses chronic gut disorders and autism-related digestive issues with practical recipes and evidence-backed strategies, boasting a strong global following and high customer satisfaction. ## Description First published in 1994, Elaine Gottschall’s seminal work, Breaking the Vicious Cycle, continues to save the lives of thousands of people worldwide who suffer from the debilitating effects of intestinal disease. In straight-forward language the book explains the science behind the disease process occurring in the intestinal tract of those suffering from ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Celiac Disease and other forms of chronic diarrhea and how the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) offers a healthy, balanced and safe approach to stop disease progression and heal the gut. The book includes tools, resources and gourmet recipes to support individuals in starting the SCD and their journey to health. Discovered as a result of the remarkable healing of the author and biochemist’s daughter, the diet is based on the understanding that individuals with an injured intestinal tract have difficulty digesting complex carbohydrates. This results in an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in the intestines. By limiting the diet to single-molecule sugars, referred to as specific carbohydrates, the body no longer feeds these harmful bacteria, allowing good bacteria to take their place and a healthy intestinal balance to be restored. In short, the SCD breaks the vicious cycle. Based on her research, the author makes the connection, referred to in the book as the “Autism Connection,” that the same bacterial overgrowth present in the gut of those suffering from intestinal disease occurs in the gut of many autistic children. Through evidence and testimonials, the book outlines the ability of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to treat many of the behavioral symptoms experienced by those with autism. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet provides a simple solution to healing for so many suffering from life-altering intestinal disease. Review: Great read - I just ordered and read the book several times. As a registered nurse in oncology I see bowel problems galore! I also have IBD (as one Gastroenterologist labeled it). I decided just to try some concepts without implementing the actual diet. All I did was elimitate dairy, and layed really low on breads and complex sugars for one week. OK, did have some issues with complex sugars. BUT, I did notice a drastic decrease in diarrhea. This morning I ate buttermilk pancakes made with oats, rice and wheat, with real maple syrup. Wasn't 15 minutes and explosive diarrhea. This is my own little proof that there is DEFINITELY something to the science in this book. PLEASE NOTE - I am not advocating improving your diet. I am advocating you follow the diet as outlined! I'm looking forward to diving in myself in the next week. I actually appreciated the length of this short book. It's not overly medical or scientific. Anybody with a basic reading comprehension level SHOULD be able to follow the theories and diet. This book doesn't go into all the myriad of bowel disorders, but treats them all the same and tackles them with diet only (not meds or surgery). If I were given a choice to have my colon cut out or change my diet, I'd choose the latter thanks. I feel the author was qualified as a microbiologist to write this especially since her family was helped by it's effects. Also, I feel that it was well researched. The first several chapters are devoted to the research of others, which were breakthroughs in their time, which guided the author to what is this diet program. If this book doesn't answer all your questions there are several great websites out there that will. The recipies are easy to follow. I do wish there was a calorie count and breakdown nutritionally. I could see how someone could get out of balance without them. I was floored by the gut-brain connection and can think of several psych hospitals that should pilot this diet! BTW these concepts are NOT covered in nursing school, and doubtless mecial either. Which makes me ask, "WHY NOT?" I've seen a small number of pretty bad reviews of this book and it sounds to me they did not follow protocol, or they are just mock readers (haters). From my perspective, this is a well balanced diet and there is a section on supplementation to those who need it. Of course, if you limit yourself by cutting out major parts of this diet (like meat) then you should expect problems (like iron and vitamin b12 issues leading to possibly severe anemia). I thought I have is that it is sad when people get into the thought pattern that unless we eat grain products or junk food we'll lose all sorts of weight. In one sense, calories are calories. But this is not a carb-free diet, or a vegan diet for that matter. Finally, I've read testimony after testimony of its benefits and healing properties. Also, since reading this book, I've noticed there are more people with bowel disorders than I once suspected! In one week alone I met several families that were completely wrecked with celiac or autism. I thought it my duty to recommended the book to these families. One dear woman gave me the biggest hug and thanked me in advance for her son. Hope this helps someone in need! Review: Finally, relief from the toilet. - What a book! Breaking the vicious cycle explains all of the different problems involving the gut, Stomach, intestines, colon, etc. etc. etc. This book actually gives you foods to eat, diets to follow, with excellent results.

Found this book very informative, was a very interesting read. My favorite recipe so far is the Deanna’s (Midas Gold) pancake/waffles. A lot of the recipes I haven’t tried because you need to make the homemade yogurt which I have yet to take on, so it’s limited me in what I could make from the recipe section. Would highly recommend this book! I honestly don’t know where I would be at without it. It’s offered me a guideline of what to eat/ not eat instead of just winging it and hoping things will be okay. Learning and becoming more educated on this sort of thing has honestly given me more confidence and hope in this journey. It can be a stressful process, but find the positives! Let yourself get excited when you find a recipe you really like! Or when you learn a new piece of information! Trust the long term process, you may be suffering now but try to be kind to yourself and patient. Be disciplined and overtime let yourself get to a strong place! ## Frequently Bought Together - Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet - Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet: Over 125 Easy, Healthy, and Delicious Recipes that are Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, and Grain-Free - Every Last Bite: A Deliciously Clean Approach to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet with Over 150 Grain-Free, Dairy-Free & Allergy-Friendly Recipes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/3065797-breaking-the-vicious-cycle-intestinal-health-through-diet](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/3065797-breaking-the-vicious-cycle-intestinal-health-through-diet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
