How does the SCD work?

When the diseased intestines are inflamed from the effects of dysbiosis, they cannot break down the molecules that are too large to be transported across the small intestinal surface into the bloodstream. Instead of entering the bloodstream, the undigested starch and sugar molecules serve as a continual source of food for bacteria and fungi. The premise of the SCD is to remove all sources of carbohydrates whose molecular structure is too large for direct entry into the bloodstream. By removing starches and sugars, dysbiosis is corrected. The result is a decrease in intestinal inflammation and healing of the intestinal tract.
