About this ebook
This book describes the microscopic colitis diet, why so many people find it to be the safest and most effective way to control the disease, and why the diet helps to restore long-term health.
The microscopic colitis diet is a totally safe way to control the disease with or without the use of any medications. In contrast with the temporary control offered by expensive medications alone, a properly selected, carefully followed diet will usually provide control of this disease for a lifetime, for most microscopic colitis patients, so that the side effects of medications can be avoided.

Why it's necessary to change our diet.
Probably the earliest attempts to use diet changes to treat microscopic colitis (MC), or any other inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was done by using the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD), which was promoted by Elaine Gottschall. Gottschall had a daughter who had ulcerative colitis, and who was a patient of Dr. Sidney V Haas.
Haas had described the first SCD in 1924, to use in the treatment of children who had celiac disease. The diet was also known as the banana diet, because in a medical trial of 10 children, all eight of those treated with bananas went into remission, and the other two, who were controls, died.
Celiac disease had typically caused a mortality rate of about one in four children (who had celiac disease), before the banana diet was discovered. In 1951, Haas published a medical textbook called The Management of Celiac Disease, that described the SCD as a treatment for not only celiac disease, but also, IBD.
Regrettably, when wheat was discovered to be the actual cause of celiac disease, during World War II, Haas never accepted that fact. Instead, he continued to insist that the problem was starch, and denied that wheat gluten was the cause of celiac disease.
Elaine Gottschall was a biochemist who began to promote the SCD in 1996, when she published her book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle. In the book, she described how her daughter had been cured of ulcerative colitis in two years by following the SCD, and she suggested that the diet she described could cure various medical conditions, although she didn't provide any supporting data. Not only did she promote the SCD as a treatment for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease, but she also stated that it could be used to treat chronic diarrhea, diverticulitis, cystic fibrosis, and even autism. In retrospect, those claims appear to have been a bit overly ambitious, although more than a few patients who had various diseases, were probably able to gain remission by using the SCD she recommended. Unfortunately, although the SCD may bring remission for some MC patients, most of us cannot tolerate certain foods that are allowed by the SCD, so we will continue to react if we follow that diet.
What about the other diets that some patients have tried to use to treat MC?
Over the years, some MC patients have been able to reach remission by using a diet developed for some other purpose. Examples of this are the paleo diet, the autoimmune protocol (AIP) diet, and the fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet, for example, in addition to the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD). But while these diets sometimes work to successfully bring remission for some MC patients, none of them can be used to bring remission for most of us, unless certain specifications in their rules are changed. They all contain basic flaws that prevent them from being capable of successfully bringing (and maintaining) remission for the vast majority of MC patients.
A diet used to control the symptoms of MC should be effective for most of us, not just some of us. Accordingly, an effective microscopic colitis diet uses some of the recommendations from all of these diets, while avoiding those diet recommendations that are contraindicated for MC
