I am a very big skeptic, but I just watched the documentary on Netflix:The Magic Pill?

I have not tried it but it is very similar to Specific Carb Diet which can be beneficial for IBD. I've been on SCD for years and always felt like an outcast at dinner parties. Now everyone is doing keto for weight loss and I'm not the odd man out anymore!

Before changing your diet based on a 'documentary' on Netflix, you should Google the name of that documentary and read some of the rebuttals against all the false and misleading claims made therein.

Try it if you're so inclined and report back. However, i would not bet-the-farm on it. Call me highly skeptical. Diets did absolutely nothing for my UC.

I tried it, and it was horrible. Be prepared for liquid D for DAYS, horrible stomach and leg cramps, migraines, muscle spasms... Also, that much fat is really not healthy. I know it's a fad and going into ketosis makes you lose weight quickly, but I would really research it, because it is a specific diet intended for people with epilepsy, not the populace at large.
