Many patients who manage the FDA hope to have alternatives to long-term immunosuppressive therapies, such as therapeutic diets

The risk of CD is lower in people who eat the traditional Mediterranean diet (MD), which is rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, and whole grains, and uses olive oil as the main source of fat

SCD and MD diet

Among them, one of the most commonly used therapeutic diets is the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD)
.

Small studies have provided preliminary evidence that using SCD or modified SCD can improve symptoms and reduce intestinal inflammation

The study randomly selected 194 patients, of which 191 were included in the efficacy analysis

The results showed that the percentage of participants who followed MD and achieved symptom relief at week 6 was not better than that of SCD (SCD, 46.

It can be seen that SCD is not superior to MD in terms of achieving symptom relief, FC response and CRP response
