Specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) is a restrictive diet created by Sidney V. Haas (1870–1964) and later popularized by Elaine Gottschall, the mother of one of Haas's patients.[1] The diet is claimed to treat inflammatory bowel disease and various other gastrointestinal and systemic diseases.
History
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet was developed by Sidney V. Haas (1870–1964) as a treatment for celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease, and described in his medical textbook The Management of Celiac Disease.[2] The diet was later popularized by biochemist Elaine Gottschall, M.Sc., the mother of one of Haas's patients, whose 1987 book Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet outlines the diet and provides guidelines and recipes.[3]
Details and effectiveness
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet limits the use of complex carbohydrates (disaccharides and polysaccharides). Monosaccharides are allowed, and various foods including fish, aged cheese and honey are included. Prohibited foods include cereal grains, potatoes and lactose-containing dairy products.[1]
The diet is described in Gottschall's 1987 lay book Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet and in supporting websites, in which it is claimed to treat Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, chronic diarrhea and autism.[1]
One prospective study conducted by Seattle Children's Hospital on 12 pediatric patients with Crohn's disease found that 12 weeks of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet improved clinical biomarkers and induced changes in the gut microbiome in 8 of the 10 participants who completed the study. Researchers noted that further prospective studies were required in IBD patients to assess the safety and efficacy of the diet.[4]
