Globally, the prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has grown during the past ten years. In addition to diarrhoea and bleeding ulcers, other uncomfortable symptoms include anaemia. Elimination diets, like the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), have gained popularity as prospective treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The SCD is an elimination diet that emphasizes the removal of certain types of carbohydrate-containing foods. Complex carbs encourage an overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria in your small intestine if you have IBD. The SCD does permit carb sources that have single, unbound sugar molecules as your digestive tract absorbs them more easily. Any food that has two or more connected sugar molecules is prohibited by the SCD, including dairy products, starchy vegetables, table sugar, cereals, and the majority of legumes. These foods are categorically forbidden and referred regarded as "illegal." Most unprocessed fruits, vegetables, nuts and meats are permissible on the SCD – with a few restrictions. Some dairy products and legumes are OK as long as they are prepared according to the guidelines in the manual. To minimise potential dangers and guarantee a balanced diet, consult with your healthcare advisor and dietitian before adopting the SCD.
