Carnivore diet worked wonders for me. Brought me from a really bad flare, into remission in just 1 week... So much for the red meats supposed "pro-inflamatory" effects. i think that red mest often gets bundled up with highly processed meats in these studies. Thats where the myth that "red meat is bad for you", comes from. But in reality all unprocessed meats are anti-inflammatory and good for you.

The problem with Crohns is that it is a very individualistic disease. It treats everyone who has it differently so one person may benefit from one diet but completely cause another to have issues. Im lucky enough to have a very mild case of Crohn's, never needed surgery and prior to my recent flare up, I was in remission for around 20 years however this recent flare up has really screwed me over. My symptoms of abdo pain, blood, fatigue and passing undigested food have hit me like a ton of bricks. I really feel for those who have severe cases. I hate the mild case I have so i can't imagine what type of suffering those less fortunate have.

Good info, I have been implementing these things and am feeling better. The number one thing that got me started on recovery from a flare is when my neighbor brought me over some kefir grains and taught me how to make my own. I have been doing it every day since and have stayed in remission. My calprotectin went from very high, down to 20 in three months. Kefir has a lot more probiotics than yogurt, I used to think they were about the same but Kefir has more.

I can corroborate 100% of this anecdotally. Here goes: - Acne as a teenager. 2-3 years on Minocycline/Tetracycline (oral antibiotics). Frequent, crippling GI pain same year I started. - First flare in 2012. I didn't have health insurance (college student), so symptoms lasted for a couple months before hospital. Diagnosed UC. High-dose Prednisone taper, 5-ASAs for maintenance on release. Dosed in hospital with lots of antibiotics due to fear of c-diff. - Next ~7 years: high-sugar, low-fiber diet. After the hospital, I lost the ability to process most vegetables, legumes (beans, lentils), whole wheat, etc. No issues with them in 30+ years before. Extraordinary, foul-smelling flatulence when I'd eat them. If I had them for more than a few nights in a row, I'd start getting borborygmi, bloating, loose stool, eventually blood, eventually full-blown flare. I managed symptoms by eating literally the same 3 meals almost every single day over the 7-year period, and treating any flares with Prednisone, but this eventually stopped working. - Gastroenterologist puts me on biologics, which gradually lose efficacy. We start dosing every 6 weeks; gradually increase both dosage and frequency - For unknown reasons, around 2018, I'm suddenly able to eat vegetables again. I soon decide to try becoming a vegan, because my girlfriend is a vegan and cooks really well - Within a few weeks, my symptoms (which have steadily been getting worse the past 2 years) start clearing up, very noticeably. - Snow storm. I live in a rural area, and there's no getting into or out of my house for the next several weeks. I've missed my home infusion but am doing absolutely fine - I keep postponing the infusion, curious now. No symptoms whatsoever. Weeks become months become years. I'm healthier than a 40-year-old with a chronic disease has any reason to be. - Catch COVID in July of last year. Full-blown flare out of nowhere within a couple days. - Unable to get into remission naturally. Symptoms gradually get worse, I reluctantly go to doctor months later. Would've gone sooner, but no gastroenterologists within anywhere close to me are accepting new patients - Prednisone taper starting @ 40mg. Put back on biologics - Between the prednisone and biologics, remission is induced within 2 months. The payment assistance program for the biolic refuses to pay for the medication (as promised when I joined), so I'm stuck with a bill I can't afford, and have to go on a payment plan, so: no more treatment. - I was supposed to have my last infusion back in July. 12 weeks past due so far, no Chrohn's symptoms whatsoever. My poop is absolutely *beautiful*. The point about "no added sugar" is critical. It was hard as hell for me. I've had a ravenous sweet tooth since the age of 6. (Some of you might find it interesting that I lost 40 pounds over the first year I eliminated sugar--without any additional modifications to lifestyle--and it's stayed off since.) One thing to point out is that I stopped the 100% plant-based diet a few months ago and started supplementing with fish for protein, after learning that it's almost certainly the added fiber--not the absence of meat--that keeps me in remission. There's a growing body of evidence for this (referred to in the video), and it involves keeping the microbiome happy for the invaluable short-chain fatty acids certain populations provide. It might also be worth mentioning that I'm about 90% confident I have concurrent Ankylosing Spondilitis, which a high-fiber, low-added-sugar diet alone hasn't fully addressed. I learned of a diet that purports to alleviate AS symptoms by eliminating starch, based on the idea that it starves a certain type of bacteria whose proliferation contributes to the symptoms. It's a tough diet to maintain, but I'm about 1 month in, and I have considerably less skeletal/joint pain and stiffness that I did 30 days ago. Also, if it helps, I'm an engineer by training with absolutely nothing to sell and no skin in the game. This disease has been absolute torture for me. And the standard of care (5-ASAs, followed by biologics, followed by surgery) is ineffective, doesn't address root cause, and in my experience, is almost universally practiced. This is one of those instances in which the best course of action might be to not listen to your doctor--kind of like it would've been in the 30's-50's, when doctors recommended smoking to aid digestion. I've been through ~10 gastroenterologists since 2012. I've talked at length about my diet to each one, because the correlation between diet and symptoms was clear early on, based on countless *exquisitely* painful 1st-hand experiences. None expressed any interest; no follow-up questions were asked. Biologics were recommended as early as 2013, though I made due with 5-ASAs for several years. The last gastroenterologist I saw actually didn't express interest that I'd maintained a *medication-and-symptom-free* remission for 2 years. No follow-up questions were asked. Straight to biologics and steroids--then the payment assistance program stiffed me on the bill.

My nutritionist told me that if I'm having a flare, I should stick to foods I can pretty easily mash with my fork. This is because it's a good indicator of how easy it is to digest. The reason she told me that was because I was asking all these questions and had ha hard time telling the difference of what was good or bad at the different periods. This has helped me out tremendously. When I'm not in a flare I can eat pretty much anything I want without having a reaction to it. I'm very lucky to not have any allergies, but I keep it easy on the spice front just for an extra layer of security.

I don't know how I feel about these studies. Most IBD patients digestif systems cannot process fiber properly and often will increase inflation and irritate the bowels. When in full blown flare, ideally you want to go with a low fiber/ low residue options. When in remission, more fiber can be reintroduced in moderation. Fasting seems to be helpful for some patients with IBD.

This is a tricky one and not my primary area of expertise. From what I understand, changes in the gut microbiome can cause patients with IBD to have issues digesting fiber, in which case fiber might worsen symptoms during a flare up. It also matters whether the fiber is soluble or insoluble, the latter being more symptom provocative. However, outside flare ups, fiber can help support a healthy gut microbiome that hopefully doesn't undergo the changes that make fiber harder to digest in the first place. Of course everyone responds differently to different dietary interventions, and it may be different for IBD vs IBS vs Crohns etc so it's a very complex and nuanced treatment for those who respond poorly to fiber

Hello, I have some questions, I would be very happy if you answer them. In my pathology report: Slight increase in ascending colon sections, colon mucosa samples, surface epithelium and crypt epithelium. Lymphocyte entry is monitored. With trichrome, there is a slight increase in collagen in the subepithelial region. No additional findings regarding mucin were found. Although the findings are 'partial' support, if they are clinically compatible, it can be considered collagenous colitis. What exactly does this mean? Everywhere I went, IBS was accompanied by stools, sometimes solid and sometimes liquid. My questions are: Is this an autoimmune disease? Is there a margin of error in pathology? I recently had gastroenteritis and e.coli was detected. Calprotectin is low. Does microscopic colitis appear and disappear or increase due to this? I would be grateful if you could answer me. There are so few resources and so little information.

"Eat the rainbow" is a general principle I try to follow to get a variety of different fruits/veggies i.e. eating strawberries, carrots, yellow peppers, blueberries, and broccoli (not all together!) would give you a diverse profile of nutrients to foster a diverse microbiome and accordingly more effective digestion. In terms of fiber I consume a mix of both soluble and insoluble regularly, I have never really paid close attention to which type because I have never noticed it made a difference one way or another for me

for that watch all the videos of Kenny Hondas, and read book self healing crohn's and colitis by David keins...where you get step by steps details what to do.. start with celery and apples juice, just give rest to your body...follow all the instructions given in book..it's a difficult process as lots of detox will happen but be strong and consistent..follow 'Highcarb health' as well

@@aminuseb yes but I don't see why u would need to or want to, meat never reached the colon and is 100% absorbed in the small intestine and has 0 inflammation with eating it, start beef butter bacon eggs, u can add seafood if u wish it's just easier to remember, keep the processed foods out other than 100% pure meat like hot dogs, spam that's all ok as well and won't flare you up, get rid of all the vegetables oils, use animal fat, eat until u are comfortably stuffed, dont portion control, slowly transition to this over a couple weeks to minimize the keto flu as they call it and the gi issues will go away after 10 days, eat high fat 75 percent if carnivore of animal fat like lard or tallow, 25 percent protein, you can try that differently but with Crohn's veg is not good anyway so just try 80 20 if you have to just play with it u will fell fantastic.

Don't eat past 7 pm. Then, wait at least 16 hours before eating. I only eat two meals a day between 12 pm and 7 pm. I switched to full carnivore. I don't count calories, eat as much as I want in those 2 meals. Lost 40 lbs, in the best shape of my life at 43 years old. Healed my gut going carnivore as well. Works for me.

What you did not mention is meat. We are made of meat too. The same digestive juices used to digest meat, dissolve the one cell barrier which allows the blood to pick up the nourishment. It takes more acid to digest meat even though the body buffers it with calcium, pulled from the bones, the body does not pull so much as to risk us breaking a bone, though over a lifetime this can, especially for women, result in brittle bones. Anyway there is still acid present and this acid can cause pain as the meat digest. Plant proteins are gentler on the digestion in the small and lower intestine and therefore are not going to cause the kind of disabling pain which Crohn’s and IBS can cause. You can make vegetarian taste like there is meat, so to learn how to do this saves your health in many ways.
