The IBD-AID Diet

I just recently discovered a new evolution in the SCD diet trend - the IBD-AID Diet.

This diet is like the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, (SCD), but with more attention toward building up your gut biome, the importance of which recent research has brought out.

After people started talking about how important it is to build up your good gut flora, I became concerned that GAPS Diet, the SCD diet and others that eliminate food for bacteria, might be harmful to your gut flora.

Apparently, diversity and health in your gut flora is associated with less Crohn's disease.

After so many years on the GAPS Diet, and the SCD, I was concerned that I was starving the bugs that might help me.

The IBD-AID Diet seems to address this issue. It even allows a grain! Oats are allowed on the diet, with the evidence that oats selectively feed good flora.

Apparently the diet has tested well in clinical trials, with some people going into remission or able to eliminate some of their drugs.
