Durable Clinical and Biochemical but Not Endoscopic Remission in Pediatric Crohn's Disease on Specific Carbohydrate Diet Monotherapy.

We report three pediatric CD patients who achieved clinical remission on SCD monotherapy, but failed to demonstrate complete mucosal healing with a minimum of one year follow up. This case report highlights that SCD monotherapy in male pediatric CD patients can sustain durable clinical and biochemical remission, but not full mucosal healing.
