I like this list of carbs that do not digest well. Taking note how wheat & lactose are right up there! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3299284/table/tab1/ .

Am I interpreting this right? Because the beginning throws me off: "Therapeutic use of carbohydrates in inflammatory bowel diseases".

The conundrum is which way to go,with or without carbs.

Same with the theraputic use with or without,FODMAPS yes or no,prebiotics yes or no.

Low carbs no carbs may starve your colon,while I tend to believe that excess protein,results in excessive protein fermentaion in the distal colon,leading to distal colitis. UC ususally starts distally,where the mucus barrers is most thin.

You need balance. Fruit-veggies-protein-nuts. Yes, and carbs. I think that may be the healthiest for us - within our limits. It should be arranged according to the person.

In general, I think SCD would kill me. Not all that knowledgeable of Foodmap, but it looks alright.
