The goal of this study is to grow educational information for patients and families at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and beyond. An assessment was developed by Stanford Medicine Children’s Health to determine what educational content patients needed the most. We found that families want reliable evidence-based education. We provide a Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) curriculum, including a the science and the nutritional adequacy of SCD.

We also provide cooking videos, written recipes, tips and tricks on cooking SCD, and answer frequently asked questions from patient families, to help educate families.
