Background: IBD is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory intestinal disorder associated with
fecal dysbiosis. Diet is a potential therapeutic option for IBD based on the hypothesis that
changing the fecal dysbiosis could decrease intestinal inflammation. Study: Pediatric
patients with mild to moderate IBD defined by pediatric Crohn's disease activity index
(PCDAI 10-45) or pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI 10-65) were enrolled into
a prospective study of the SCD. Patients started SCD with follow-up evaluations at 2, 4, 8 …
