Our son Noah was diagnosed with Crohn's disease three years ago. He was started on pentasa, which did not do much to help alleviate his symptoms and our agony in watching him suffer (it was summer and he was even too weak to leave the house and go for a swim in a nearby lake) . Luckily we stumbled upon the SCD diet by searching the internet. Our GI here in Europe was not acquainted with the diet, but fortunately Dr. Suskind was immensely kind and helpful and encouraged us to try the diet. So after two weeks of only pentasa, we have started the first phase of SCD diet. Noah's symptoms got better almost immediately, after only 5 days he was able to go for a swim- for us parents that was a sure sign he was on his way to recovery! The miracle continued and after  two more weeks he has gained almost 6 pounds and was in remission! After a year and a half of amazingly stable health we have started to wean him off pentasa. We did it very, very slowly and we always checked his calprotectin levels after reducing the dose.  Now he has been med free for almost 8 months, his calprotectin level has stayed below threshold and he is doing great! SCD has done wonders for us, we truly hope it will be the same for you and your child! If you would like to read our detailed story, here is the link http://gutharmony.net/index.php/2016/01/17/914/.
