Why aren there clinical trials on the Specific Carbohydrate (SCD)?
There are no clinical trials on the SCD largely due to a lack of funding. Also, conducting a trial on a diet is challenging. There is no way to be sure that study participants will follow the diet properly, making it difficult to produce meaningful results. However, the SCD community is hopeful that one day proper trials on the diet will be conducted so that it can be acknowledged and prescribed by mainstream physicians.
