I was on a lower carb diet for a while. I didnt seem to lose any weight but i sure felt better. My Husband has been doing it and has lost 20 lbs! It is harder for me since i can't have alot of Veggies or Fruits.

Has anyone else tried a low carb diet? Has it or has it not worked.
 
Hello, I Havnt tried the scd yet, but that's a no carb diet, and many people say they have less crohns symptoms at the very least. It can be hard when we're supposed to have low residue, considering that's manly carbs and lactose:/ there's a 'low carbers forum' which I was suprised to read, stated in many threads, that carbs are the reason for most diseases, which at first I thought makes sence, but now I think having ibd, carbs ect can be harder to digest, and encourage bacterial overgrowth, so it's worth trying scd and diets alike, if you can. I want to start scd, momentarily I'm low residue like you, but as I have humira, and hopefully taper Pred after that, I plan to have less lactose and minimal carbs, and be on scd by the time I wean Pred in a few months. There are many threads on scd. Best of luck with it xoxo
