This book is intended for those who suffer from inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis). The essence of the diet is to avoid consuming complex sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides). Disaccharides and polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate molecules that must be split to obtain monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), which are only usable in this form in our body.

The main principle of the SCD diet is, in theory, simple: restricting the intake of some forms of saccharides that can feed microorganisms in the digestive system, all to recover the intestinal flora and the intestinal epithelium itself (mucosa). This book will instruct you to avoid foods with a high glycemic index and prioritize foods with the lowest possible glycemic index.
