While the original Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) has been used for decades, a less restrictive version has gained traction among patients. This approach, known as the modified SCD diet, aims to broaden food options to improve long-term adherence while still promoting gut healing.

Historically, the BRAT diet was a common remedy for stomach upset, but medical professionals now advocate for a more nutritionally complete approach that includes a phased reintroduction of foods. The goal of a well-structured recovery is to transition from the initial restrictive phase to the more expansive phase 2 of the BRAT diet, which helps ease the digestive system back to normal eating.
