Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottchall
Topics covered include the relationships between food and intestinal disorders; a discussion of the cycle of events occurring in the intestine of those with problems and how the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) can break this cycle and permit the body to regain normal functioning. The chapter "About Autism" reviews some of the research dealing with the Gut-Brain Axis in child developmental disorders. It will point out how dietary intervention with the SCD addresses and often overcomes conditions thought to be at the root of Autism Spectrum Disorders as well as some cases of Epilepsy and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride
As a parent of a child diagnosed with learning difficulties, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride was acutely aware of the difficulties facing other parents like her, and she has devoted much of her time to helping these families. She realised that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field. Her willingness to share her knowledge has resulted in her contributing to many publications, as well as presenting at numerous seminars and conferences on the subjects of learning disabilities and digestive disorders. Her book "Gut and Psychology Syndrome" captures her experience and knowledge, incorporating her most recent work. She believes that the link between learning disabilities, the food and drink that we take, and the condition of our digestive system is absolute, and the results of her work have supported her position on this subject. Natasha Campbell-McBride holds a Degree in Medicine and Postgraduate Degrees in both Neurology and Human Nutrition. In her clinic in Cambridge she specialises in Nutrition for Children and Adults with Behavioural and Learning Disabilities, and Adults with Digestive and Immune System Disorders. GAPS is basically the modern evolution of Elaine Gottchall's early SCD work.
