Specific carbohydrate diet

Ok kiddo, so the specific carbohydrate diet is a way of eating that some people believe can help with certain health problems.

Let's say your tummy hurts a lot or you have really bad diarrhea. Doctors might say you have something called "irritable bowel syndrome" or "Crohn's disease." These are problems with your tummy and intestines that make it hard for you to digest certain foods.

The specific carbohydrate diet says that if you only eat certain types of foods, your tummy and intestines will feel better. These foods are things like fruits, veggies, meat, and some types of grains. But you can't eat things like sugar, bread, pasta, or other foods that have a lot of starch in them.

The idea is that these starchy foods are hard for your tummy and intestines to digest, which can make your tummy hurt. But if you only eat the simple foods that are easy to digest, your tummy will feel better.

Some people believe that this diet works really well for them and makes them feel better. But it's important to talk to a doctor before trying any new diet or changing what you eat.
