I don't even think people, who don't have IBD, would have a SED rate of 2. Only thing helping long term is this diet. I had difficulties finding good information on alternative therapies for a long while. Sometimes its good to take a look at something different that may be able to help. If more people try it and succeed, more doctors will recommend it to their patients.
Most intestinal microbes require carbohydrates for energy.
They remain in the intestinal tract, thus encouraging microbes to multiply by providing food for them. This can lead to the formation of acids and toxins which can injure the small intestine. As the microbes decrease due to lack of food, their harmful by-products also diminish. No longer needing protection, the mucus producing cells stop producing excessive mucus and carbohydrate digestion is improved. Further debilitation is prevented, weight can return to normal, and ultimately there is a return to health.
