Suited for:
Crohns, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Autism, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Colitis Ulcerosa, SIBO, Candida, general digestive problems, Celiacs.
How it works:
With complete restriction of easy fermentable carbohydrates and slow reintroduction of complex carbohydrates, the damaged gut is healed, the probiotic flora is changed, and more nutrients are taken up. Due to the complete lack of carbohydrates, blood sugar levels are kept low.
Pros and Cons:
Hard to follow at first, since it is very restrictive. Cooking skills are helpful, but not necessary, since they will be picked up. Needs to be tailored to personal flavour and situation/disease. Supplements might be helpful, but are not necessary. It is a nutritional complete diet after the first few restrictive stages.
Does it work?
Preliminary studies are very positive. Diet has been around for over 50 years, and thousands of followers swear by it. Cookbooks are available. Personal experiences have been very positive.

How To:
This is my personal version of a very restrictive SCD, to avoid sugars as long as possible.
