Summary
This study looked at how two different diets affect people with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. Twenty adults were randomly assigned to follow either a vegan/low-sulfur diet or the specific carbohydrate diet for 8 weeks. Researchers measured changes in gut bacteria and a liver enzyme called alkaline phosphatase to see if diet could influence disease activity.
