I already knew the studies from UMASS MED about IBD-AID but the background about the potential for different autoimmune diseases was new for me! Barbara Olendzki really is a treasure!
Very helpful! There is so much info that is contradictive and I believe what Barbara says. I got some really good info from the website! My gastro doctor said exactly what she said they'd say... there is no cure, only biologics and prednisone, diet won't help... You would think that they would do some research in the field that they specialize in... I insited that there had to be something else to help and the doc was firm that there is no other way other than surgery or meds. I didn't believe her because most doctors stick to what they were taught and do not question. They are not that smart and advice should be taken along with research and common sense. I will not take the biologics since they cause other issues and not afforable anyway. I believe I got ulcerative colitis from glyphosate/round up from strawberries I ate and a couple hours later my husband and I had diareah and mine never went away... It destroyed my gut and weeks later I was in really bad shape then diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis. I am weaning off the predisone down to 5mg from 40 mg and still pretty good. I'm detoxing and eating better but not good enough. No blood or diareah anymore but get bloating when I eat. I started to juice and about to make fermented veggies today for the 1st time. My chocolate and sugar craving is gone...mostly.
This was really insightful. I'm going to give it a try and see if it helps my Crohn's disease. Do you have a link to her website that she mentions with the most up to date advice on the diet? Many thanks.
