Book Launch at the Sydney Gluten Free Food Show
It was great to be at the Gluten Free Food show and meet so many wonderful people who all understand the value of a healthy and alternative diet in regards to intestinal health. There were many who were going through what I went through a few year ago, when I was still suffering from Ulcertative Colitis. It’s wonderful to be able to have a little laugh about symptoms and embarrassing situations and know that your are not the only one suffering these debilitating symptoms. It’s of course also inspiring to be able to see that there are people who have fully recovered because of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.
Yet the most amazing thing was that I was approached by two major main stream super stores, who want to carry ‘Healing Foods’ ‘Cooking for Celiacs, Colitis, Crohn’s and IBS’ and include it into their new Health and Wellness Sections of the stores. This is great, because it means they are taking healthy foods serious. It means it’s not just an empty gesture to have a token sections which is labelled ‘Healthy’ because it carries a couple of ‘Gluten Free’ products. Which brings me to a major problem I have with so called ‘Gluten Free’ products. Most of these products are labelled ‘Gluten Free’, but contain twice as much sugar and fat. Also who is to say that refined rice flour or corn flour is any healthier than refined wheat flour? Non of this is a problem, of course, if you’re on the SCDiet, as you are simply just eating fresh foods and everything is made from scratch.
So the launch was a success and the book is flying off the shelves at the bookstores. The medical community is starting to embrace alternative diets as a complimentary treatment and I think we will see a much greater push towards Doctors and Specialists using diets in their treatments.
