Food for Thought: Remission of Perianal Pediatric Crohn's Disease on Specific Carbohydrate Diet Monotherapy
Abstract
There is growing interest among patients about the specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) as a treatment for Crohn's disease. In the meantime, deep remission in patients using SCD as their sole treatment has not been documented. We report a case with perianal and ileocolonic Crohn's disease in whom SCD monotherapy successfully induced and maintained not only clinical, but also endoscopic, radiographic and histologic (ie, deep mucosal remission) remission as well.
