Helps many, flora: Many people with UC have had significant improvements following the SCD but there is no formal research proving it helps (and none proving it doesn't). It is thought that undigested starches feed unfriendly flora that aggravate colitis. See http://tinyurl.com/nv5pt3t A similar diet is the low FODMAPs diet. This has been more accepted by mainstream docs. See http://tinyurl.com/na7mg8r
