After some time with her nutrition, two years after her first diagnosis, Danielle landed on the SCD. The SCD is generally recommended for people suffering from her disorder, but also Crohn’s, diverticulitis, celiac, and autism. It eliminates complex carbohydrates, allowing only monosaccharides, which are better absorbed by the intestinal wall. For Danielle, relief was almost immediate. She was able to start weaning off her medication. She was symptom-free.
