I've been sort of following a plant based diet (with a lot of raw food) for around a year now. I'm currently suffering from chronic constipation and too fearful to eat anything now. I've pretty much given up on all advice but I just wanted people to know that eating a lot of plants can give you horrible side effects. I've researched and researched and cannot find a cure to my worsening problem. I'm most sad and feel very alone with this problem. I wish someone could give me some advice that actually helps because everything I try fails. Sorry, I think you're a really good guy Dr Greger but I just had to tell someone....
@@simplypictures294 I'm not sure too much fiber is very good for us. Since I drastically reduced fiber in my diet I've not been constipated - a huge change.
Crohn's, Mediterranean diet, zero crap. Upped fibre, plant foods etc, Crohn's out of control, lost colon. Crohn's didn't even give my 6 months before coming back in full swing after operation. High plant diet with ileostomy is hell! The output doesn't stop, all the indigestible fibre causing pancaking and excess gas causing blowouts. Recently switched to carnivore, eggs, beef, seafood, all from good source. Within weeks I am in full remission, no pancaking, minimal output, don't need to wake up at night to empty my bag anymore. Amazing energy levels, zero brain fog. I eat max 3 meals a day till I feel full. I can tell you exactly how food looks like after small bowel. Meat gets completely liquified, there is not even a single solid chunk. With plants, it all comes out still in the same shape!! Our stomach acidity is set for meat digestion, ph 1,5-2 is carnivore realm! Go back to your roots, times before all autoimmune diseases and farming!
As a long time vegan with crohn's disease, it's nice to see the good Dr. bringing this subject up. At the same time, medication is essential to many crohn's sufferers. Even though my plant based diet has helped, medication has saved me from having very invasive surgery. We can't always crap on the meds, Dr.
It is more tricky than that, during the first phase, the healing phase, you need to only eat foods containing soluble soft smooth fibers like soft ripe fruits (avocadoes, bananas, papayas, mangoes, persimmons, melons and similar)with no seeds and peels, various potatoes and very well cooked vegetables and completely avoid all the foods rich in harsh irritating insoluble fibers like legumes, nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, grains(worse gluten ones and whole grains), herbs and spices, for best results, also need to eat low fat/protein and no animals products or minimal amount(1-2 times a week max), yeah it is not easy but it is working to allow the gut to heal in 3 to 6 months.

@@Julottt It's a RUclips Channel of anecdotes not a rigorous scientific study. That means you only hear from the people that have success and have no idea how many people it didn't work for. As I explained already most of them had infections that mimicked IBD and were going to get better no matter what they did. They were misdiagnosed because their Dr's weren't thorough enough.
Diagnosed with crohn's at 12 y/o. I was on steroids which made my bones weak and I broke my leg. I was on humira which stopped working after a while. I was on cimzia which helped but then I switched to plant-based and all symptoms went away for 3 years. At the beginning of 2021 I got really sick (perhaps covid) and it caused an excruciating flare up with lots of inflammation and a really bad abscess. Now I've been on remicade for almost a year and I've had to increase the dose because I'm developing antibodies and the remicade isn't at a high enough level in my blood. I haven't had any symptoms though and I've been able to refine my plant-based diet to almost cut out all processed foods. If my GI tells me the remicade isn't doing anything, I might see how it goes without medication again. Thanks for your work Dr. Greger!

Diagnosed in 2004 at age 24. Found diet relief and dropped meds 2 years ago. I eat grass fed beef and cheese, and wild caught omega 3 fatty fish, along with mostly veggies, some grains and legumes. My diet is plain but I'm not one to get burned out usually. If I eat out literally anywhere or eat certain processed foods, I'll have a flare within 24hrs. I kept a food diary for 3 years to understand what triggers me. Preservatives, food dyes, natural flavorings, and chemicals added to meat and veggies during the growing process, ended up being the main triggers, along with soy and canola oils. If veggies bother you, spends a few extra bucks(same with meat) and buy organic or grow your own. Might just find it's not the food itself, but what comes with it.
My father died from Crohn's Disease in 1995. He went from one doctor to another - no relief. He was told to load up on dairy to strengthen his bones!!! He died a painful death. I had gut issues (not Crohn's) and solved all my problems with a WFPB diet. My father could have had many more years - pain free - had he known........ We look around, and everyone is on multiple drugs and still in pain. Diet IS everything.
Too late for my friend, he died of a huge tumor on his colon after 30 years of Crohns...he died like a crack addict, he was a sugar fiend, kept a gallon of apple juice by his desk, ate ice cream for breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner...bought those big pails of ice cream. No amount of talking to him would get him to change. Sugar truly is a dangerous drug.
@@saddamhussein8489 Dude.....you are so lost in your vegetation you can’t see what I just wrote. Refined carbs and sugar are causing disease, not meat.
Ice cream is also fat and dairy so animal products and he surely ate others animals products too probably daily like the vast majority of people and you probably know it. Sugar is a macro nutrient like protein powder and oil not a drug because it is not psychoactive and not addictive and it does not give withdrawals symptoms when you stop it, it is surely not healthy but it is not a drug.
Crohn's patients that have actually tried eating whole food, low nutrient density, plant foods when their intestines are inflamed and can't handle fiber or absorb nutrients properly- esp when they have already lost too much weight. That's who.
@@Gt3ch "Low nutrient density"? Plants have a high nutrient density, I am guessing you mean low caloric density? Anyway, sorry to hear about your suffering. I hope you will figure out the optimal ratio of anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, and legumes that will clear it up. As for the fiber issue, could you try introducing it gradually and allowing the bacterial colonies that break it down to grow gradually?
@@minifix I really appreciate the kindness and sincerity in your reply. Plant foods have high _micronutrient_ (and sometimes protein) density per _calorie_ but very low _macronutrient_ density per volume of food. That’s the problem for Crohn’s- having to eat a large amount of food that is super irritating, with fiber also blocking the absorption of nutrients. Crohn’s/IBD is fundamentally an immune disorder- the immune system attacks the tissues in the GI tract causing inflammation and lesions that are painful and can bleed. It can occur anywhere (or everywhere) from the mouth to the anus. When the intestines are already very _constricted_ from inflammation, lesions or scarring the fiber is very difficult and irritating to pass through. It has nothing to do with adequate fiber eating bacteria. Especially for Crohn’s in the small intestine (like me). I’ve been a whole food vegan for 9 years- and while helpful it’s been a struggle the whole time. The only way I could survive my current flare after losing 25 lbs and dropping below 8% body fat (unintentionally) was with elemental shakes, white rice (brown rice was too much fiber), and eventually some fish (breaking my vegan status). Now my Crohn’s is mainly in my small intestine. Perhaps people with disease that is less severe and further down in the large intestine/colon might be able to participate in the studies he mentioned and get the initial boost everyone gets when they go veg. Also there is a high percentage of people that have Crohn’s looking inflammation (that may be over diagnosed and isn’t really Crohn’s) that goes away spontaneously. I’m willing to bet good money those were most of the patients cited. But severe Crohn’s flares _can’t_ be treated with whole plant foods and IBD is not remotely like IBS from eating too much junk food- despite the correlation.
@@Gt3ch Soluble fibers foods like soft ripe bananas, avocadoes, papayas, melons, persimmons and similar and potatoes and some very well cooked vegetables are not much irritating, this is the key to heal the gut in a few months. I guess you never tried this kind of strict protocol: It is more tricky than that, during the first phase, the healing phase, you need to only eat foods containing soluble soft smooth fibers like soft ripe fruits (avocadoes, bananas, papayas, mangoes, persimmons, melons and similar)with no seeds and peels, various potatoes and very well cooked vegetables and completely avoid all the foods rich in harsh irritating insoluble fibers like legumes, nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, grains(worse gluten ones and whole grains), herbs and spices, for best results, also need to eat low fat/protein and no animals products or minimal amount(1-2 times a week max), yeah it is not easy but it is working to allow the gut to heal in 3 to 6 months.

I switched to a carnivore diet which allowed me to heal over a 6-12 month period. I can now eat most foods again. I tried a wholefood plant based diet and in my case it made it much much worse. I think everyone is different and I am now thriving again but that was thanks to animal based diet.
I've heard about people who only do good in a carnivore diet. But the carnivore diet will still kill you eventually. You gotta test it all, but the remedy may bring more disease. Maybe what most Crohn's sufferers need is a intestinal flora transplant or specific fibers. What's sure is we need more studies
@@ahgcomegaguardian5575 Im carnivore as well. I think the more severe your Crohn's is the more you need to eliminate foods. After eliminating everything but red meat my Crohn's suddenly went away. Also the diet will not kill you. Beef is the only food in the world where you can only eat that and still survive.
My friend, aged 30, has been a strict vegan for years, yet has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's. Other than stopping smoking, what's the best course of action for her?
I'd say take out the yeast, and yeast derived products(ordinary bread, beer, nutritional yeast etc) as this is the most common thing people with crohn's react and have an immune response too. As shown in other Dr Greger vids on the subject. Worth a try anyway to see if it helps. Good luck to your friend.
Vegan crohn's person here for 10 years. I would say avoid processed junk food mostly. I would say I noticed my flares seem to correlate to how healthy I'm eating. Most healthy stuff is anti-inflammatory.
@@swites Exactly and pizza/bread doug too, basically most if not all baking products, containing wheta or not(probably worse with wheat) there are some bread/rusks without yeast but thats rare and not that good. ruclips.net/video/x_ZZqRnjyXU/видео.html

I have struggled with Crohn's for well over 10 years. These numbers are huge, but hard to implement. The roughage involved in plant-based diets is what gets me. It feels like I get obstructed when having leafy veges/legumes and then I have to stop eating for a bit to let it pass. Is this documented?
One thing I noticed that helped me was when I came to eating more plants and fruits that had more fiber. I have to juice them if raw or fresh or simmer or boil them real soft in liquid and then puree or liquify into soup if I cooked them, to be able to consume them. That's the only way the small intestines and colon was able to probably get the nutrients while being able to get the food to go threw. Then after doing that for a while, I would slowly add small sized fruits like half of cup after I consume the fresh fruits juices (not processed tho) or I was slowly add a small cup of the extra fruit whole or blended like a smoothie. Until my stomach was able to digest. I had to eat like a baby and take baby steps to keep inflammation at bay. Don't give up. IT HELP TREMENDOUSLY. FRESH AND homemade Teas Juice Smoothie Soups Purees Popcyles/ fruit sorbet with mainly fruits and vegetables.
In principle it sounds great, but needing to follow a low fibre diet, I'm struggling to see how I could achieve a healthy rounded diet..... any help / ideas greatly welcome.
Blend your fruits and vegetables. Make purées and soups to get your veggies in. Whenever I am flaring up, I always drink lots of fluids and smoothies. I also purée my veggies.
Colitis Veteran here. NutritionFacts makes a good point insofar medication is not enough in many cases and a proper diet is necessary. On the other hand he tells only about one side of the coin. Legumes and onions for example are keeping down the inflammations in theory, but they are very hard for the colon to digest. The vast majority of people with colitis/crohn I know and heard of are not able to digest legumes or onions properly, which causes harm and paradoxically increases inflammation. So many are dependend on eating a measured amount of meat to cover the need for protein. But of course this meat consumption gets up the inflammations, so don't overdo it. It is a tough act of balance. I advise everyone with CID to test and protocoll diets in order to find out, which diet fits their health best individually.
This is the polar opposite to my experience. I was diagnosed at 38. Eating SAD. Doc said there was a cure , we can take it out. Scared the hell out of me. I tried McDougall diet and the only change I noticed was my stools had more stuff along with the blood. I really got desperate. A Jewish friend of mine said that I should eat a fish diet. So I tried it. It worked, within 2-3 weeks blood disappeared and stools began to normalize and I felt like I had energy again. Eat fish, a lot of fish, clean water with lemon or lime. That’s my solution.
This is not the fish this is the low fiber diet that suppressed the irritation because you never allowed your body to completely health your gut and microbiome like you can do a the "high carb health" protocol based on potatoes, very well cooked végétables and soft fruits without any seeds of peels, check their channel and 100+ testimonies. Your gut is not healed, you just avoid the symptoms by avoiding fiber irritation on your inflammed and injured gut.
@@Julottt I’m willing to accept that. I think there’s a lot of validity to that. My histological scores were great however after the switch. However, the McDougall diet didn’t work for me after concerted effort. Maybe the debate should be whether this is “curable” at all. Or maybe each person and microbiome is unique and not subject to a one size fits all approach.
@@JLamont45 Mcdougall diet is based on irritating fibers from grains and even wheat/gluten/bread which is a absolute no to allow the body to heal the gut, the healing protocol for IBD of "high carb health" (see channel and 100+ testimonies)is based on potatoes/well cooked vegetables and softest ripe fruits seedless and without skins which are the foods not gut irritating containing soluble soft smooth fibers which are the best to build a healthy microbiome excluding all sorts of legumes, grains, wheat/gluten/nutritional yeast/nuts/raw vegetables/mushrooms/algae/herbs/spices/juice, this take 3 to 6 months with good sleep/rest, adding water fasting make it faster, my gut is healed based on colonoscopy and blood work since ~5 years and others one in testimonies video on their channel.
Try sweet potatoes and corn? I have blue corn masa and blue sweet potatoes (very anti inflammatory) as starches and do very well on them. So much more nutrition than rice and flour too.
I’m 67 years old and I just got diagnosed with Crohn’s. My doctor told me to go on low fibre diet which most vegetables and fruits are not allowed. chicken, beef, fish is ok. Which exact opposite of what this video is saying. I’m very confused now what to do.
Best up to date Science > doctors and nutritionist opinions. And try both for a couple month and you will see. Hundred of testimonies on "high carb health" channel.
If you look at the global map, "westernized" countries like UK, USA, Canada, AU etc...all have the highest incidence of Crohn's. What do WE have that other countries don't have? Yes, processed foods...but what else? Here's a hint: Almost 30% of Crohn's disease patients have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. I am not here to replace pro medical advice, but in my research, gluten seems to provide the biggest catalyst for a large number of health conditions. Off that topic, I wouldn't take anything they say on these vegan-centric videos very seriously. I developed post infectious IBS after getting C diff, and I could never follow this diet. Also, look at Hyphal Wall protein 1, (HWP1)...
I read the second study and the patients were in remision due to meds or surgery then they went in the semi vegetarian diet. It's a big difference , if someone is not in remission with Crohns they will most likely have strictures and would die from an obstruction with all that fiber.
Anecdotal but me and some of my family suffer from something like IBS-D. Yeast is consistently the worst trigger, but mushrooms are almost as harmful per serving. I speculate it has more to do with the immune stimulating effects of fungus than something peculiar about yeast. I also suspect this isn't just genetic because I was able to eat mushrooms and yeast for about a year without ill effect while in remission, my son with this condition only was affected after accidental antibiotic exposure, and we all developed this disease at very different rates. I see why the candida fearing people blame live fungus though. The only other known triggers to us are sweets and histamine/biogenic amine rich foods. All FODMAPs are thoroughly tested and not at all harmful (except for fructose and sorbitol in amounts far less than allowed on FODMAP low diets) for any of us. Lactose intolerance is not an issue. I had the skin scratch test for common allergens and besides mold, cats, and ragweed, I'm not more allergic than the average person. Doing the 5/2 diet heavy with soy and potatoes on feast days and light on fruit and absent the two triggers got me in remission and I suspect it works for many others which *looks* a lot like candida eats fruit and causes infection and *looks* like candida can be starved with restrictive diets and fasting. Thank you for clarifying so much.
I would love to hear your take on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for crohns patients. The literature seems pretty strong, even compared to a WFPB diet.
I have crohn's. I was on imfiximab I'm now on vendulizimab. I was warned against vegetables. Ii don't know how that can be healthy. I was moved on to a stoma bag after a foot long stricture was removed. The stoma is removed. I still have 10cm of inflamation. I was told to avoid fiber. I did however get great results eating something called Huel I noticed inflamation dropped it contains some sunflour oil tho.
Sulphur is actually the opposite of toxic. it eliminates toxins from the body. Which is why cruciferous vegetables are so good for you. But, the dose makes the poison.

No it doesnt cure anything, it does only suppress or decreases the symptoms of gut mucosa irritation from removing fibers but it does also destroy your microbiome.
Sorry Dr. Gregor. This is kinda absurd and shows your lack of clinical experience. I question how many of the patients cited were over-diagnosed. With most Crohn's flares you can't handle fiber and you are unable to absorb nutrients properly. Sure junk food, red meat, dairy, etc are trigger foods. But treating a Crohn's flare with fibrous low macro nutrient density foods is basically impossible and frankly inhumane torture. I'm not the only one that has also struggled with a whole food vegan diet- even for maintenance in between flares. The reason why GI docs talk about elemental diets, exclusionary diets, and modified Mediterranean for Crohn's (and not whole food vegan) - is because that's what the research shows helps - and what makes sense when the intestines are very constricted from inflammation, bloody lesions, and scarring and can't absorb nutrients properly.
Fiberless foods will decreases your symptoms of gut irritation but wont improve the problem at all and will make it worse because it will increases inflammation and disrupt the microbiome, dairy(worst aged cheese) and eggs are high in sulfur, the worst. It is more tricky than that, during the first phase, the healing phase, you need to only eat foods containing soluble soft smooth fibers like soft ripe fruits (avocadoes, bananas, papayas, mangoes, persimmons, melons and similar)with no seeds and peels, various potatoes and very well cooked vegetables and completely avoid all the foods rich in harsh irritating insoluble fibers like legumes, nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, grains(worse gluten ones and whole grains), herbs and spices, for best results, also need to eat low fat/protein and no animals products or minimal amount(1-2 times a week max), yeah it is not easy but it is working to allow the gut to heal in 3 to 6 months. More details of the protocol by Pamela Popper on the link below, "high carb health" channel and site have a similar very successful similar protocol with hundred of testimonies on their channel. ruclips.net/video/OJj0N2NJQYU/видео.html
@@Julottt Since you're posting this a 2nd time I'll respond here as well. I’ve heard Popper describe her protocol in a lecture. (probably the video you posted?) In it she mischaracterized/misunderstood the elemental diet and then went on to describe her alternative protocol that begins with brown rice. I tried it during my last flare and it was far too painful and impossible to continue. I think her anecdotal success comes from ignoring/excluding/discounting patients that drop off. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, cooked vegetables etc were also far too painful. There was absolutely no way I could survive on these healthy foods, especially for 3-6 months, and after wasting away with severe weight loss! The abnormal diseased tissues caused gut dysbiosis so with elevated candida, etc I wasn’t about to lean heavily on ripe fruit for calories. That would absolutely make everything worse! Also keep in mind I was a whole food vegan for 9 years prior. As much as I value what these docs are doing, and I think everyone owes it to themselves to eat this way, I think they are ideologues that are out of their depth on Crohn’s who are cherry picking results from mild cases (that might even be misdiagnosed). Sorry. It’s a very powerful diet that helps most- but not a panacea. Her protocol seems like quackery to me. A certain amount of bowel rest can be very valuable. But yes too much bowel rest is harmful.
@@Gt3ch I'll paste the same reply here too so people can read and make their opinions on this: I agree on brown rice, bad idea or only for the least serious case of IBD, half milled rice is fine(because need fiber to feed the microbiome, white rice is useless except in big flare), still you didnt try this protocol for months (or the better one from "high carb health" guys)so you cant know if it would work and of course you could survive on these foods only easily since SpudFit got healthier on a diet made only of potatoes for a year, this diet could be followed for life and be very healthy with B12 supplement. There are 100+ testimonies of success on the "high carb health" channel, including very serious cases, more than 90% success.
@@Julottt Again I was a whole food vegan for 9 years prior to the worst flare of my life. I couldn’t follow it for the full duration BECAUSE IT WASN'T POSSIBLE! At my last appt with an IBD specialist he told me that inflammation, esp with lesions, seen with colonoscopy in the ileum is Crohn’s by definition. Docs aren’t wrong to diagnose it. HOWEVER, something like 4/5 of the time it spontaneously goes away in 6 months to a year- regardless of diet- and by definition that means it actually ISN’T the immune disorder Crohn’s/IBD. Something else caused the inflammation- and he went over a list of things to screen for that none of my other GI docs mentioned over the last 30 years. I’ll bet good money most of these cases fall into that category. They are misdiagnosed even with convincing evidence.
@@Gt3ch Whole food plant based is not enough in some cases, for exemple nutritional/baker yeast gluten/wheat should be avoided like plague, high/protein fat is not good neither for the microbiome, it is not everything about diet for sure in some case, there are others factors, mercury amalgams and others.
You are so wrong my friend plant based is the exact definition of an inflammatory diet grains beans and legumes make life a living hell for anyone they are horrible for the human body. Carnivore is the best way to go for Crohn's or any inflammatory condition, I was plant based for 5 yrs and felt horrible and had to supplement so many vitamins, j switched to carnivore and guess what 90 days later I am in remission and off all meds, how can vegan diet be good when u have to take a handful of supplements to get healthy it's absurd

Preservatives, food dyes, natural flavorings, and chemicals added to meat and veggies during the growing process, ended up being the main triggers, along with soy and canola oils.
If veggies bother you, spends a few extra bucks(same with meat) and buy organic or grow your own. Might just find it's not the food itself, but what comes with it.
My father died from Crohn's Disease in 1995. He went from one doctor to another - no relief. He was told to load up on dairy to strengthen his bones!!! He died a painful death. I had gut issues (not Crohn's) and solved all my problems with a WFPB diet. My father could have had many more years - pain free - had he known........ We look around, and everyone is on multiple drugs and still in pain. Diet IS everything.
Just out of curiosity can I ask how he actually passed? Obviously from Crohns but what did that lead to??
Wfpb ? Please explain
@@KeegiiBaby - HI Twinkle Bella - Whole Food Plant Based (no meat or dairy).
@@Janet_Price no meat at all? Fish or shellfish ? No semi ?? Does eggs count .
So just fruits vegetables water tea coffee. I had to temporarily give up carbs including bread and grains already.
Too late for my friend, he died of a huge tumor on his colon after 30 years of Crohns...he died like a crack addict, he was a sugar fiend, kept a gallon of apple juice by his desk, ate ice cream for breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner...bought those big pails of ice cream. No amount of talking to him would get him to change. Sugar truly is a dangerous drug.
Did he eat meat too?
@@saddamhussein8489 Dude.....you are so lost in your vegetation you can’t see what I just wrote. Refined carbs and sugar are causing disease, not meat.
@@naps3386 I was only asking a question
@@naps3386 bro it was a legitimate question l
Ice cream is also fat and dairy so animal products and he surely ate others animals products too probably daily like the vast majority of people and you probably know it.
Sugar is a macro nutrient like protein powder and oil not a drug because it is not psychoactive and not addictive and it does not give withdrawals symptoms when you stop it, it is surely not healthy but it is not a drug.
I am absolutely stunned that the answer is whole plant foods!
Who the heck gave this a thumbs down? The National Dairy Council?
Keto fanatics.
Crohn's patients that have actually tried eating whole food, low nutrient density, plant foods when their intestines are inflamed and can't handle fiber or absorb nutrients properly- esp when they have already lost too much weight. That's who.
@@Gt3ch "Low nutrient density"? Plants have a high nutrient density, I am guessing you mean low caloric density?
Anyway, sorry to hear about your suffering. I hope you will figure out the optimal ratio of anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, and legumes that will clear it up. As for the fiber issue, could you try introducing it gradually and allowing the bacterial colonies that break it down to grow gradually?
@@minifix I really appreciate the kindness and sincerity in your reply. Plant foods have high _micronutrient_ (and sometimes protein) density per _calorie_ but very low _macronutrient_ density per volume of food. That’s the problem for Crohn’s- having to eat a large amount of food that is super irritating, with fiber also blocking the absorption of nutrients.
Crohn’s/IBD is fundamentally an immune disorder- the immune system attacks the tissues in the GI tract causing inflammation and lesions that are painful and can bleed. It can occur anywhere (or everywhere) from the mouth to the anus. When the intestines are already very _constricted_ from inflammation, lesions or scarring the fiber is very difficult and irritating to pass through. It has nothing to do with adequate fiber eating bacteria. Especially for Crohn’s in the small intestine (like me).
I’ve been a whole food vegan for 9 years- and while helpful it’s been a struggle the whole time. The only way I could survive my current flare after losing 25 lbs and dropping below 8% body fat (unintentionally) was with elemental shakes, white rice (brown rice was too much fiber), and eventually some fish (breaking my vegan status). Now my Crohn’s is mainly in my small intestine. Perhaps people with disease that is less severe and further down in the large intestine/colon might be able to participate in the studies he mentioned and get the initial boost everyone gets when they go veg. Also there is a high percentage of people that have Crohn’s looking inflammation (that may be over diagnosed and isn’t really Crohn’s) that goes away spontaneously. I’m willing to bet good money those were most of the patients cited. But severe Crohn’s flares _can’t_ be treated with whole plant foods and IBD is not remotely like IBS from eating too much junk food- despite the correlation.
@@Gt3ch Soluble fibers foods like soft ripe bananas, avocadoes, papayas, melons, persimmons and similar and potatoes and some very well cooked vegetables are not much irritating, this is the key to heal the gut in a few months.
I guess you never tried this kind of strict protocol:
It is more tricky than that, during the first phase, the healing phase, you need to only eat foods containing soluble soft smooth fibers like soft ripe fruits (avocadoes, bananas, papayas, mangoes, persimmons, melons and similar)with no seeds and peels, various potatoes and very well cooked vegetables and completely avoid all the foods rich in harsh irritating insoluble fibers like legumes, nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, grains(worse gluten ones and whole grains), herbs and spices, for best results, also need to eat low fat/protein and no animals products or minimal amount(1-2 times a week max), yeah it is not easy but it is working to allow the gut to heal in 3 to 6 months.

I switched to a carnivore diet which allowed me to heal over a 6-12 month period. I can now eat most foods again. I tried a wholefood plant based diet and in my case it made it much much worse. I think everyone is different and I am now thriving again but that was thanks to animal based diet.
I've heard about people who only do good in a carnivore diet. But the carnivore diet will still kill you eventually. You gotta test it all, but the remedy may bring more disease. Maybe what most Crohn's sufferers need is a intestinal flora transplant or specific fibers. What's sure is we need more studies
@@ahgcomegaguardian5575 Im carnivore as well. I think the more severe your Crohn's is the more you need to eliminate foods. After eliminating everything but red meat my Crohn's suddenly went away. Also the diet will not kill you. Beef is the only food in the world where you can only eat that and still survive.
I've literally the opposite experience
My friend, aged 30, has been a strict vegan for years, yet has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's. Other than stopping smoking, what's the best course of action for her?
Becoming a whole foods plant based vegan. Cutting the vegan junk foods and meat substitutes, processed sugars (fruit is fine), and eliminating oil.
I'd say take out the yeast, and yeast derived products(ordinary bread, beer, nutritional yeast etc) as this is the most common thing people with crohn's react and have an immune response too. As shown in other Dr Greger vids on the subject. Worth a try anyway to see if it helps. Good luck to your friend.
Vegan isn’t equal to WFPB.
Oreo is Vegan.
Vegan crohn's person here for 10 years. I would say avoid processed junk food mostly. I would say I noticed my flares seem to correlate to how healthy I'm eating. Most healthy stuff is anti-inflammatory.
@@swites Exactly and pizza/bread doug too, basically most if not all baking products, containing wheta or not(probably worse with wheat) there are some bread/rusks without yeast but thats rare and not that good.
ruclips.net/video/x_ZZqRnjyXU/видео.html
Form someone with crohns and has tried many things I'm calling bullshit. My healthy eating caused my crohns to get so bad I had a resection done.
Don’t forget you may have to eliminate all yeast and yeast derived products too like alcohol, vinegar, soy sauce, ordinary bread, nutritional yeast.
@Iam Def dr Greger has a video about it
Not true.
@Iam Def
Thats more like baker/nutritional yeast sacharomycs cervisiae so pizza/bread dough basically most if not all baking products, containing wheat or not(probably worse with wheat) there are some bread/rusks without yeast but thats rare and not that good.

@@norma9134 Thats true even if you prefer to hear good news about bad habits, sorry, see the video of NF about it in my previous comment.
@Nathália Mel Sorry, i mean pizza dough which is the same like bread dough containing bakers yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae.
I have struggled with Crohn's for well over 10 years. These numbers are huge, but hard to implement.
The roughage involved in plant-based diets is what gets me. It feels like I get obstructed when having leafy veges/legumes and then I have to stop eating for a bit to let it pass.
Is this documented?
Yes. Very well documented. That’s why for flares low fiber/low residual diets are recommended or even elemental diet.
One thing I noticed that helped me was when I came to eating more plants and fruits that had more fiber. I have to juice them if raw or fresh or simmer or boil them real soft in liquid and then puree or liquify into soup if I cooked them, to be able to consume them. That's the only way the small intestines and colon was able to probably get the nutrients while being able to get the food to go threw. Then after doing that for a while, I would slowly add small sized fruits like half of cup after I consume the fresh fruits juices (not processed tho) or I was slowly add a small cup of the extra fruit whole or blended like a smoothie. Until my stomach was able to digest. I had to eat like a baby and take baby steps to keep inflammation at bay. Don't give up. IT HELP TREMENDOUSLY. FRESH AND homemade Teas Juice Smoothie Soups Purees Popcyles/ fruit sorbet with mainly fruits and vegetables.
In principle it sounds great, but needing to follow a low fibre diet, I'm struggling to see how I could achieve a healthy rounded diet..... any help / ideas greatly welcome.
Blend your fruits and vegetables. Make purées and soups to get your veggies in. Whenever I am flaring up, I always drink lots of fluids and smoothies. I also purée my veggies.
Go keto or carnivore! Check out Dr Cywes x
Colitis Veteran here. NutritionFacts makes a good point insofar medication is not enough in many cases and a proper diet is necessary. On the other hand he tells only about one side of the coin. Legumes and onions for example are keeping down the inflammations in theory, but they are very hard for the colon to digest. The vast majority of people with colitis/crohn I know and heard of are not able to digest legumes or onions properly, which causes harm and paradoxically increases inflammation. So many are dependend on eating a measured amount of meat to cover the need for protein. But of course this meat consumption gets up the inflammations, so don't overdo it. It is a tough act of balance. I advise everyone with CID to test and protocoll diets in order to find out, which diet fits their health best individually.
This is the polar opposite to my experience. I was diagnosed at 38. Eating SAD. Doc said there was a cure , we can take it out. Scared the hell out of me. I tried McDougall diet and the only change I noticed was my stools had more stuff along with the blood. I really got desperate. A Jewish friend of mine said that I should eat a fish diet. So I tried it. It worked, within 2-3 weeks blood disappeared and stools began to normalize and I felt like I had energy again. Eat fish, a lot of fish, clean water with lemon or lime. That’s my solution.
This is not the fish this is the low fiber diet that suppressed the irritation because you never allowed your body to completely health your gut and microbiome like you can do a the "high carb health" protocol based on potatoes, very well cooked végétables and soft fruits without any seeds of peels, check their channel and 100+ testimonies.
Your gut is not healed, you just avoid the symptoms by avoiding fiber irritation on your inflammed and injured gut.
@@Julottt I’m willing to accept that. I think there’s a lot of validity to that. My histological scores were great however after the switch. However, the McDougall diet didn’t work for me after concerted effort. Maybe the debate should be whether this is “curable” at all. Or maybe each person and microbiome is unique and not subject to a one size fits all approach.
@@JLamont45 Mcdougall diet is based on irritating fibers from grains and even wheat/gluten/bread which is a absolute no to allow the body to heal the gut, the healing protocol for IBD of "high carb health" (see channel and 100+ testimonies)is based on potatoes/well cooked vegetables and softest ripe fruits seedless and without skins which are the foods not gut irritating containing soluble soft smooth fibers which are the best to build a healthy microbiome excluding all sorts of legumes, grains, wheat/gluten/nutritional yeast/nuts/raw vegetables/mushrooms/algae/herbs/spices/juice, this take 3 to 6 months with good sleep/rest, adding water fasting make it faster, my gut is healed based on colonoscopy and blood work since ~5 years and others one in testimonies video on their channel.
Thanks!
#VeganForLife
leaving meat and cheese was no big deal for me, but white flour is so hard! Pasta and rice... whole pasta is disgusting to me.
by the way... I went form a fasting glucose 135 to 105 in 4 months.
Try sweet potatoes and corn? I have blue corn masa and blue sweet potatoes (very anti inflammatory) as starches and do very well on them. So much more nutrition than rice and flour too.
Eggs are also high in irritating sulfur and should be avoided.
Michael Gregor is like my new Bill Nye the Science Guy!
Greger*, why does many peoples say Gregor, i dont get it.

I’m 67 years old and I just got diagnosed with Crohn’s. My doctor told me to go on low fibre diet which most vegetables and fruits are not allowed. chicken, beef, fish is ok. Which exact opposite of what this video is saying. I’m very confused now what to do.
Best up to date Science > doctors and nutritionist opinions.
And try both for a couple month and you will see.
Hundred of testimonies on "high carb health" channel.
If you look at the global map, "westernized" countries like UK, USA, Canada, AU etc...all have the highest incidence of Crohn's. What do WE have that other countries don't have? Yes, processed foods...but what else?
Here's a hint: Almost 30% of Crohn's disease patients have a non-celiac gluten sensitivity. I am not here to replace pro medical advice, but in my research, gluten seems to provide the biggest catalyst for a large number of health conditions.
Off that topic, I wouldn't take anything they say on these vegan-centric videos very seriously. I developed post infectious IBS after getting C diff, and I could never follow this diet. Also, look at Hyphal Wall protein 1, (HWP1)...
Thanks 🌠
I read the second study and the patients were in remision due to meds or surgery then they went in the semi vegetarian diet. It's a big difference , if someone is not in remission with Crohns they will most likely have strictures and would die from an obstruction with all that fiber.
Can confirm. No symptoms while I have been plant based. Really wish this was public knowlage when I was first diagnosed 25 years ago
God I love this guy
Anecdotal but me and some of my family suffer from something like IBS-D. Yeast is consistently the worst trigger, but mushrooms are almost as harmful per serving. I speculate it has more to do with the immune stimulating effects of fungus than something peculiar about yeast. I also suspect this isn't just genetic because I was able to eat mushrooms and yeast for about a year without ill effect while in remission, my son with this condition only was affected after accidental antibiotic exposure, and we all developed this disease at very different rates.
I see why the candida fearing people blame live fungus though. The only other known triggers to us are sweets and histamine/biogenic amine rich foods. All FODMAPs are thoroughly tested and not at all harmful (except for fructose and sorbitol in amounts far less than allowed on FODMAP low diets) for any of us. Lactose intolerance is not an issue. I had the skin scratch test for common allergens and besides mold, cats, and ragweed, I'm not more allergic than the average person.
Doing the 5/2 diet heavy with soy and potatoes on feast days and light on fruit and absent the two triggers got me in remission and I suspect it works for many others which *looks* a lot like candida eats fruit and causes infection and *looks* like candida can be starved with restrictive diets and fasting.
Thank you for clarifying so much.
I would love to hear your take on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for crohns patients. The literature seems pretty strong, even compared to a WFPB diet.
No, the ltiterature is not strong at all, at least not as strong.
I have crohn's. I was on imfiximab I'm now on vendulizimab. I was warned against vegetables. Ii don't know how that can be healthy. I was moved on to a stoma bag after a foot long stricture was removed. The stoma is removed. I still have 10cm of inflamation. I was told to avoid fiber. I did however get great results eating something called Huel I noticed inflamation dropped it contains some sunflour oil tho.
keto helped me 2 years no symptoms and felt good overall, no meds, inflammation and I can eat vegetables and meat.
I am in china and doing this work. I feel frustrated because of a lack of funding and no public education program. Sigh.
Neat but I womder if this is a bit too good to be true?
Nice ! What about eating eggs on it ?
They are high in toxic irritating hydrogen sulfide like cheese.
Sulphur is actually the opposite of toxic. it eliminates toxins from the body. Which is why cruciferous vegetables are so good for you. But, the dose makes the poison.
@@ebbyc1817 Completely wrong, not hydrogen sulfide from animal products and sulfite additives, here is the truth:
ruclips.net/video/NUyi3UfzBYI/видео.html
What about eggs? He said, a million times, WFPB. Are eggs plants?
@@trapezius77 B mean based not only, you can eat WFPB and eat animal products like some of those doctors .
It was just strange they arent in the inflamatory food chart at the begining of the video of they are with dairy.
I'm here because my son (healthy vegan for 10 years) has just been diagnosed. What now?
I see so many conflicting sources.. this video says go plant based, but a lot of research I’ve done point to an animal based diet being a solution to auto immune diseases in general. Hmmmmm
LEAFY GREENS?! That's TOTALY FALSE, people don't eat leafy greens it's really not good when crohn is active
Carnivore is the cure.
No it doesnt cure anything, it does only suppress or decreases the symptoms of gut mucosa irritation from removing fibers but it does also destroy your microbiome.
Nope, there is no cure for it and I’ve heard some people did worse on carnivore then they did on a plant based diet.
Sorry Dr. Gregor. This is kinda absurd and shows your lack of clinical experience. I question how many of the patients cited were over-diagnosed. With most Crohn's flares you can't handle fiber and you are unable to absorb nutrients properly. Sure junk food, red meat, dairy, etc are trigger foods. But treating a Crohn's flare with fibrous low macro nutrient density foods is basically impossible and frankly inhumane torture. I'm not the only one that has also struggled with a whole food vegan diet- even for maintenance in between flares. The reason why GI docs talk about elemental diets, exclusionary diets, and modified Mediterranean for Crohn's (and not whole food vegan) - is because that's what the research shows helps - and what makes sense when the intestines are very constricted from inflammation, bloody lesions, and scarring and can't absorb nutrients properly.
Fiberless foods will decreases your symptoms of gut irritation but wont improve the problem at all and will make it worse because it will increases inflammation and disrupt the microbiome, dairy(worst aged cheese) and eggs are high in sulfur, the worst.
It is more tricky than that, during the first phase, the healing phase, you need to only eat foods containing soluble soft smooth fibers like soft ripe fruits (avocadoes, bananas, papayas, mangoes, persimmons, melons and similar)with no seeds and peels, various potatoes and very well cooked vegetables and completely avoid all the foods rich in harsh irritating insoluble fibers like legumes, nuts, seeds, raw vegetables, grains(worse gluten ones and whole grains), herbs and spices, for best results, also need to eat low fat/protein and no animals products or minimal amount(1-2 times a week max), yeah it is not easy but it is working to allow the gut to heal in 3 to 6 months.

@@Julottt Since you're posting this a 2nd time I'll respond here as well. I’ve heard Popper describe her protocol in a lecture. (probably the video you posted?) In it she mischaracterized/misunderstood the elemental diet and then went on to describe her alternative protocol that begins with brown rice. I tried it during my last flare and it was far too painful and impossible to continue. I think her anecdotal success comes from ignoring/excluding/discounting patients that drop off.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, cooked vegetables etc were also far too painful. There was absolutely no way I could survive on these healthy foods, especially for 3-6 months, and after wasting away with severe weight loss! The abnormal diseased tissues caused gut dysbiosis so with elevated candida, etc I wasn’t about to lean heavily on ripe fruit for calories. That would absolutely make everything worse!
Also keep in mind I was a whole food vegan for 9 years prior. As much as I value what these docs are doing, and I think everyone owes it to themselves to eat this way, I think they are ideologues that are out of their depth on Crohn’s who are cherry picking results from mild cases (that might even be misdiagnosed). Sorry. It’s a very powerful diet that helps most- but not a panacea. Her protocol seems like quackery to me.
A certain amount of bowel rest can be very valuable. But yes too much bowel rest is harmful.
@@Gt3ch I'll paste the same reply here too so people can read and make their opinions on this:
I agree on brown rice, bad idea or only for the least serious case of IBD, half milled rice is fine(because need fiber to feed the microbiome, white rice is useless except in big flare), still you didnt try this protocol for months (or the better one from "high carb health" guys)so you cant know if it would work and of course you could survive on these foods only easily since SpudFit got healthier on a diet made only of potatoes for a year, this diet could be followed for life and be very healthy with B12 supplement.
There are 100+ testimonies of success on the "high carb health" channel, including very serious cases, more than 90% success.
@@Julottt Again I was a whole food vegan for 9 years prior to the worst flare of my life. I couldn’t follow it for the full duration BECAUSE IT WASN'T POSSIBLE!
At my last appt with an IBD specialist he told me that inflammation, esp with lesions, seen with colonoscopy in the ileum is Crohn’s by definition. Docs aren’t wrong to diagnose it. HOWEVER, something like 4/5 of the time it spontaneously goes away in 6 months to a year- regardless of diet- and by definition that means it actually ISN’T the immune disorder Crohn’s/IBD. Something else caused the inflammation- and he went over a list of things to screen for that none of my other GI docs mentioned over the last 30 years. I’ll bet good money most of these cases fall into that category. They are misdiagnosed even with convincing evidence.
@@Gt3ch Whole food plant based is not enough in some cases, for exemple nutritional/baker yeast gluten/wheat should be avoided like plague, high/protein fat is not good neither for the microbiome, it is not everything about diet for sure in some case, there are others factors, mercury amalgams and others.
Doc, It Sounds like you have a new retainer in your mouth making your speech slurred. It is hard to understandr you
Can we eat 🥚
It is a pro inflamatory food, not the worst tho.
💗💗💗
You are so wrong my friend plant based is the exact definition of an inflammatory diet grains beans and legumes make life a living hell for anyone they are horrible for the human body. Carnivore is the best way to go for Crohn's or any inflammatory condition, I was plant based for 5 yrs and felt horrible and had to supplement so many vitamins, j switched to carnivore and guess what 90 days later I am in remission and off all meds, how can vegan diet be good when u have to take a handful of supplements to get healthy it's absurd
