I had difficulties finding good information on alternative therapies for a long while. Sometimes its good to take a look at something different that may be able to help. If more people try it and succeed, more doctors will recommend it to their patients.
Most intestinal microbes require carbohydrates for energy.
When carbohydrates are not digested, they are not absorbed. They remain in the intestinal tract, thus encouraging microbes to multiply by providing food for them. This can lead to the formation of acids and toxins which can injure the small intestine. Once bacteria multiply within the small intestine, they can destroy the enzymes on the intestinal cell surface, preventing carbohydrate digestion and absorption. The DIET is based on the principle that specifically selected carbohydrates, requiring minimal digestion, are well absorbed leaving virtually nothing for intestinal microbes to feed on.
