Why 30 Days on the SCD Diet Will Give You Control of Your IBS

BySteven Wright

IBS is driven by some back seat drivers working in the background to make life miserable. It is primarily bacterial overgrowth and inflammation.

But in the beginning, it was a very rocky road that took me off course in a matter of a few hours.
