Results: We analyzed 26 children on the SCD: 20 with CD and 6 with UC. Duration of the dietary
therapy ranged from 3 to 48 mo. In patients with active CD (Pediatric Crohn’s Disease activity index
[PCDAI] >10), PCDAI dropped from 32.8 13.2 at baseline to 20.8 16.6 by 4 2 wk, and to
8.8 8.5 by 6 mo. The mean Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index for patients with active UC
decreased from a baseline of 28.3 10.3 to 20.0 17.3 at 4 2 wk, to 18.3 31.7 at 6 mo.
