Here we report the treatment of a pediatric Crohn's disease patient with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and without medications. The SCD excludes most dairy products and complex carbohydrates to reduce bacterial growth. This is thought to decrease local inflammation and allow the gastrointestinal tract to heal. Some studies suggest that this diet can help control and improve symptoms of Crohn’s disease.
