Specific Carbohydrate Diet Association

Judy Herod

Judy is the daughter of SCD leader, the late Elaine Gottschall. Judy’s story inspired her mother to research the diet and ultimately write her first book, “Food and the Gut Reaction” in 1986 followed by “Breaking the Vicious Cycle Intestinal Health Through Diet." Judy is the President of Kirkton Press, the company that publishes “Breaking the Vicious Cycle.” She has been following SCD for over 50 years and remains healed of her ulcerative colitis of which she was diagnosed with at age 8.

The Specific Carbohydrate Diet Association (SCDA) was created in 2018 as a US IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit to raise awareness of the benefits of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ (SCD™) while unifying the Community including followers, parents, caregivers, doctors, clinicians, companies and others around the world. We provide resources, support, guidance and inspiration via social media platforms and conferences for the public and community to learn, network and support each other. And, we promote research of the SCD around the world.
