Great! You probably know this but if you have any questions about elemental, there are many parents who use/have used it with there chidren on dragonpack (support site for parents of IBD kids) and they are happy to answer questions. Margaret Oppenheimer (who wrote Beat Crohn's) also posts there and often responds to questions - it's a great resource. Sherry
There is a lot of information about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) on the web and a lot of information about pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on the web, but we've found little information on SCD experiences among kids with IBD. We wanted to share our experiences with implementing the SCD with our son diagnosed (at age 3) with Crohn's Disease.
After 9 months of 100% SCD, we moved on to other treatment options (specifically enteral nutrition). We found the SCD lesson to be valuable and the experience has changed our eating habits as a family. We have been treating our son's Crohn's Disease exclusively with enteral nutrition for the last 5 years.

Yep -- we have that book checked out from the library as I type this. It's right on with what we're experiencing.
