“We present the case report of an adult patient with intractable Crohn’s disease non-responsive to medical management who demonstrated endoscopic, radiologic, histologic, and biochemical response to the SCD intervention. We furthermore report the healthcare cost savings over a 42-month SCD intervention period.”

Your masterclass is an online digital resource. It is refreshed and updated with the latest scientific on a continuing basis. Count on it for up-to-date science, new product recommendations and practical tips that make SCD easier and more effective.
A key feature of The SCD Masterclass is the ability to customize your SCD plan in a way that works for you and your body. There are many ways to implement and progress through SCD (for example, which ingredients work for you, which ones you should hold off for later). To customize your SCD plan in a methodical manner, The SCD Masterclass comes with a set of worksheets (digital forms you fill out using your HIPAA-compliant app), self-assessment tools, nutrient trackers, and symptom loggers. Here are some examples:
Â
The free companion app included in The SCD Masterclass helps you to easily log your reactions, symptoms and response to your SCD intervention. These entries will help you monitor your progress and customize your journey to fit your unique needs. It also simplifies record-keeping for future use. For example, you can look back in six months to see how far you have come and how much improvement you have generated in your overall health!
Self-assessment digital forms for reliable tracking of your reaction to each of the major SCD ingredient categories. Instructions are included describing how to monitor your response and, more importantly, how to make sense of them so you can confidently progress to a broader range of SCD ingredients.
Â
Your free companion app has an easy-to-use journaling feature that allows you to log your food intake, water consumption, and meal pattern (time of consumption). The app automatically calculates totals for key nutrient components you enter in your food journal, including calories, protein, fiber, and calcium. Your nutrient dashboard compares and displays your intake over a 3-day span to your nutrient intake targets. Easily see which nutrients are lacking or need additional focus. Download, print and share these reports with your GI doctor to ensure they are comfortable and fully on-board with your dietary routine. Â
Succeeding with SCD requires more than simply knowing the ‘Legal’ and ‘Illegal’ ingredients. That’s a good start, but what do you introduce first, second, and so on. The SCD Masterclass is broken down into 4 distinct Stages. Each Stage serves a unique purpose, introducing defined sets of ingredients, methods of preparation, and recipe sets that match each Stage. Progress only when you are ready. Hold when you need to. Your self-assessment forms and monitoring tools help you decide how fast, or how slow, you can progress. It’s all laid out for you in clear terms.
Stage-specific SCD ingredient tables; starter sets, expansion sequence; green light/red light progression.
Â
The SCD Masterclass bundles SCD ingredients into defined stages, each with its own specific purpose. Stages come with a preset number of SCD ingredients and recipes that match those ingredients. Learn why this makes sense, what happens at each stage and how to modify the progression to match your specific needs.
The SCD Masterclass is packed with over 200 recipes covering every stage of the protocol. Everything is included to help start the day with a tasty and nourishing breakfast, along with snacks, lunch, dinner, deserts, drinks, you name it. Each recipe includes nutrient content, SCD Recipe ID (to help with your journaling) and ways to modify it to suite your needs and preferences. Download, print and keep the recipe sets forever.
Sample recipe sets for every stage of the SCD. Bookmark them in your member-only website, download and print your favorite ones, or flip through your 3D flip book within a web browser.
Sample Meal Plans are included in the early stages to help you get off to a good start and ensure you are receiving sufficient nutrients and fluids.
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) is the most widely studied whole food intervention in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, two common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
SCD was initially created in 1924 to treat celiac disease. It was later used for the treatment of IBD.
SCD eliminates all grains, most starches, sugar (except honey), dairy products (except butter, 24-hour fermented yogurt and hard cheeses which are essentially lactose free), and most store-bought, processed or prepackaged foods.
So what’s left? Really?
Well, a whole lot of healthy, delicious breakfast items, snacks, baked goods, soups, salads, and a wide variety of lunches and dinners.
You will be surprised at what you’ve been missing.
Colors. Taste. Aroma.
Joy comes back. Food becomes a friend and a healer.
The real reward. Relief. Remission. Possibly reversal. A quality life.
Preliminary studies of SCD intervention in pediatric and adult IBD patients have demonstrated promising results, including achieving clinical and mucosal remission and normalization of blood and stool laboratory markers.*
The SCD Masterclass is designed to help you to succeed with SCD.
You don’t have to do this on your own. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel all over again. You don’t have to make mistakes others have already learned from.
You can get expert support. You can put your fears to rest knowing you are focusing on the right things. You can track your progress. You can be held accountable.
You can be successful. Faster. More reliably. More confidently. So you can back to enjoying life again.
