It's the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet." Google that or "Breaking the Vicious Cycle."

I've looked into it in the past, but personally I just don't believe anyone anymore when they claim they've found the "perfect" diet that will help "everyone" feel better. There is no such thing. Our body chemistries and digestive systems are all so very different that there is not one single perfect diet. Many people function well on a vegetarian diet, but there are many others who feel they need meat. Some do better on high carbohydrate diets, some feel better on low carbohydrate diets. Some of us need high SF, some need high IF.

My new attitude towards food is that I'm eating everything and anything, as long as I know it doesn't bother my bladder (many acidic and/or spicy foods cause me bladder pain and frequent urination - and it's not fun waking up 6 times a night to pee!). Aside from those foods, I'm eating whatever the heck I want. Because if I'm going to be bloated, I'm going to eat healthy foods, not white flour and sugary junk. In the past week or so I've eaten things I haven't eaten in months or years, including yogurt and cheese, potato chips , whole wheat bread, and salad. And you know what? I'm no worse than I was before. I actually think I'm feeling better. So while some of the EFI principles are definitely true for me (I personally can't tolerate caffeine, alcohol, red meat or fried foods) the diet in its entirety doesn't work for me.

It would be nice if someone could just hand us a dietary prescription we could follow and automatically feel better, but it just doesn't work that way. Unfortunately it's quite a lot of trial and error and figuring out what works for us personally .
