Guts and Glory Program
Has anyone here heard of, or tried, the "Guts and Glory Program" described in Restoring Your Digestive Health by Rubin & Brasco? I have been reading the book, and it seems similar to the Paleo diet.

Yes, I own the book and it has been discussed on the board some. The book talks a lot about diet, but the primary reason that the diet works is because (IMO) the diet includes drinking clay mixed in water. The clay acts as a protective coating on the intestine. Once the clay is discontinued, the protective coating is no longer available to keep symptoms at bay.
Tex will probably have more to write about the book or he will point you to the other threads on it.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
Gloria,
I believe you are right on target. Bentonite clay is well known for masking the effects of mycotoxins (such as aflatoxin) in livestock feed rations. It's much more practical to buy feed that's free of mycotoxins, however, and then it becomes unnecessary to feed dirt (clay). The same applies to gluten and other food sensitivities. Avoid the toxic substances and it's not necessary to eat clay.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
