I am a newbie to the forum but not a newbie to Crohns.

I have tried alot of things in my struggle with CD but never any diet changes.

Has anyone tried this diet and if so does it work?

I have not tried the SCD however I am just now trying the Maker's Diet. I just started so I can't tell you if it has been working for me however I have heard some really good things about it. The guy who created it, Jordan Rubin, had a very severe case of CD and he was very close to death, however from the Maker's Diet, he is now healthy as can be.

When I talked to my doctor about it, of course she said since there was no study that proved any diet can work that I shouldn't count on it. But you should totally buy the book and read it. You can get it for five bucks off of Amazon.

I got a couple books on the SCD but I haven't read through them yet. I figure if this diet doesn't work, I'll go for the other. I know the SCD is very strict.

Good luck though! Let me know how it goes!

I did it for 6 months. It totally worked for me. It is strict and takes some getting used to, but I say it's worth a try. I noticed IMMEDIATE results (like within a week no more bloating, bleeding, cramping, and D) and I was severely ill at the time. I wasn't magically cured, but it really did heal my gut to a large degree. Not permanent, but enough to snap me out of the severe 3 year long flare I was in. So, I say go for it. I hope it helps you feel better.
