I just started doing the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I have read many testimonials about it helping people with Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiac, etc., but not much about IBS. I began the diet a little over a week ago and am having problems with it so far. Just wondered if anyone has any advice on the SCD diet? Sincerely,JEM123

what kind of problems are you having with the diet. I have been on a low carb diet for ibs and have had great luck with it.

The problems I was having with the SCD Diet (No grains, no sugar, no lactose) was an overall feeling of lethargy as well as being bloated and sore. I have given up on the diet for now as it was too difficult to continue with the way it made me feel. Do you eat any grains on your low carb diet? Also, do you stay away from sugar?

I don't eat any grains or refined sugars. If I have coffee I use Splenda. I feel great.
