    I suffer from chrons desease for 20 years now.
    The best advice it can be given is going with "trial and error" method.
    Every single one of us is unique, our digestive tract, and above all our gut microbiome.
    Nobody knows our body better than ourselves (except our moms, they know everything 😂), and what's is a problem for someone, probably it won't be for others.
    We all know what food isn't advisable (same than for healthy people), and from the rest, above all in remission, keep trying different food and see what is fine to you.
    For instance, in my case, i have reduced the diaries to some skyr(Icelandic yogurt) and keffir(probiotic).
    I have reduced my meat intake (red or not), and increase dramatically plant-based stuff ( some need to cook like carrots, but others not, and i take them raw).
    Nuts, seeds... always without excess, they all work good for me.
    I cut all the sugar (just few pieces of dark chocolate daily), and reduced carbo meals.
    For me it's working pretty well i would say. It's rare when i feel a flare and I would say the desease development is quite steady. And so happy for that.
    Don't loose the hope of feeling better at the end of the way and keep being positive.

    An excellent video. I am in the UK and was diagnosed with UC in 2010 and apart from a minor flare three years later, I have been symptom free ever since. I take a low dose of a non steroidal anti inflammatory daily but that is my only medication. I believe a large part of feeling well is due to my whole foods plant based diet meaning I avoid meat, fish and dairy. As we know animal foods are high in Omega 6 which is pro inflammatory while plant foods are high in Omega 3 which is anti inflammatory. My twice yearly blood tests confirm that my inflammatory blood markers are below the normal range.
    Your older female viewers might be interested to know that I became post menopausal at the same time that I was diagnosed with UC and this may indicate that higher Oestrogen levels may also have an ant inflammatory effect.

    • @Ruktiet
      @Ruktiet 2 года назад

      That’s not really right. Humans are supposed to eat 2/3 of their calories from meat and organs. So it wouldn’t make sense that it would be inflammatory. This is false information. Look up “carnivore diet”; there’s a vast amount of people who completely healed their chronic autoimmune and gut problems with it.

      Don’t rely on bloodwork for monitoring IBD status. It is non-specific for IBD inflammation. Ask for the Calprotectin test and colonoscopies. If you think the inflammation is in your small bowel (CD), then contrast enterography imaging may be warranted.

    I think everyone has certain food triggers. Many are the same but it’s a vicious cycle of trial and error. I tried the FODMAPs diet which helped me with eliminating a few things I found are triggers including onions, garlic. wheat, beans and chickpeas, and cashews. I also can’t handle fried foods or dairy. The diet is based on the fact that certain fruits and veggies are quickly digested by bacteria in the gut which can cause bloating and gas. I hardly have either issue after following the diet. I’m also hardly ever nauseous because I usually only have that issue if I’m bloated. Now I’m mainly dealing with chronic fatigue, both constipation and diarrhea, and pain from an ulcer. Still not at severe as a few months ago.

      My last flare-up was 10 months ago I had to have steroids to calm the flaring I eat mainly eggs ribeye steak beef burgers, liver, some days 1 slice of sourghdo bread, I quit caffeine only have decaffeinated coffee and tea now, it has helped me greatly, look up Dr Ken berry and Dr Sean baker, no doctor has ever told me that diet changes would help but it does, never eat processed foods, I fry using extra virgin coconut oil, I have had Uc for 18 years and it's a terrible ailment I wish you good luck and hope you find relief.

      @antonellamicheli1082 Meat only means no oxidized cholesterol. Liver can reprocess it properly. There's videos about this by Dr. Paul Mason.

      I would like to try that . I was diagnosed with CD 8 years ago. I tried SCD but it didn't work for me . Can you give me guidance to follow the carnivore diet ?

    The carnivore diet + fermented foods like kefir might be the best of all worlds. It's low carb, low residue, nutritionally amazing and good for the gut microbiome.

      Also look into the specific carb diet, low fodmap diet, vertical diet or anything low residue.

      Everyone is different. For me I cannot do a lot of fermented foods. As long as I eat clean, no dairy, and no alcohol I am fine

      @@catherinejohnston9091 I literally cured my gastroenterologist-diagnosed Crohn's disease doing just this, so no, it is not bad advice. The last my doctor told me was that I no longer have Crohn's. Go to any carnivore forum or sub or board online and look for the link between carnivore and Crohn's and it will amaze you.
