“SCD to me is an expansive diet.” Dr. Ali Arjomand’s life was controlled by Crohn’s Disease for over 15 years. He tried every medication available and kept being met by failure. After many hospitalizations and two intense surgeries, as a last-ditch effort in 2016, Ali began the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and reached remission one year after starting SCD. In this episode we discuss Ali's journey, what SCD is and how it helps IBD, his views on it being an expansive diet and the nutrition clinic that he started to help others with gut health.
