The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is a restrictive, grain-free diet plan designed to help people with conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, diverticulitis, cystic fibrosis, and chronic diarrhoea.
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is a restrictive diet that eliminates certain carbohydrates from the diet in order to reduce inflammation and improve gut health. The diet is based on the idea that certain carbohydrates are difficult to digest and can lead to inflammation and other health problems.
The SCD eliminates grains, dairy products, legumes, starchy vegetables, processed foods, and sugary drinks. It emphasizes whole, unprocessed foods, such as meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.
The SCD is often recommended for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. It has also been shown to be helpful for people with other conditions, such as autism, ADHD, and celiac disease.
