Clinical and Mucosal Improvement with Specific Carbohydrate Diet in Pediatric Crohn Disease
SCD
Clinical and mucosal improvements were seen in children with CD, who used SCD for 12 and 52 weeks. In addition, CE can monitor mucosal improvement in treatment trials for pediatric CD. Further studies are critically needed to understand the mechanisms underlying SCD's effectiveness in children with CD.

Nutritional Therapy in Pediatric Crohn Disease: the Specific Carbohydrate Diet.
SCD
This chart review suggests that the SCD and other low complex carbohydrate diets may be possible therapeutic options for pediatric Crohn disease. Further prospective studies are required to fully assess the safety and efficacy of the SCD, or any other low complex SCDs in pediatric patients with Crohn disease.

Lifestyle-related Disease in Crohn’s Disease: Relapse Prevention by a Semi-vegetarian Diet
SVD
Remission was maintained in 15 of 16 patients (94%) in the SVD group vs two of six (33%) in the omnivorous group. Remission rate with SVD was 100% at 1 year and 92% at 2 years. SVD showed significant prevention in the time to relapse compared to that in the omnivorous group (P = 0.0003, log rank test).
