Reversing Ulcerative Colitis By Adopting a Carnivore Diet - Brett Ender: Ep 91

- Today we talk with Brett Ender (aka @MrSollozzo) and hear how he reversed debilitating ulcerative colitis by adopting a carnivore diet. He had started to notice symptoms while at college but while serving an internship after that and commuting 4 hours a day by train to and from New York City. He started to notice more and more blood in his stool but was too embarrassed to mention it to anyone and just assumed it would heal on its own. But it just got worse and worse and at its peak he was going to the bathroom 30 times or more a day and effectively he was just passing straight blood! Finally he tells a doctor and ends up on a drug called REMICADE which does help but it is $65,000 per infusion and he is told he will need an infusion every 6 - 8 weeks for the rest of his life.
Then he stared to hear that a carnivore diet approach might help him and when he heard doctors like Shawn Baker talk about it he though it might be worth trying. He started to notice improvements . Before long all his symptoms had evaporated. But he was still on the REMICADE and experiencing a lot of bad side effects from it. He had to work really hard to convince his doctor to take him off it but finally he did and it's been plain sailing every since!!
My 66 yr old husband is building more muscle than he has ever had with low carb and high intensity resistance training. He had accepted that he would always have a distance runner's body. Now more like a sprinter's body. He's very happy.
For years the lack of knowledge have hurt people ,thank God for the people that are willing to share their knowledge and help others …we are not in 1970 anymore…wake up people ! Do your research
Amen!!
Great podcast! Thank you Doug and Pam for all your hard work. You are helping so many people.
Wow this was good. I've been fighting Crohn's for over 22 years getting the same med and IV treatments he has. I've been getting the IVs for about 15 years. Now I've been on the Carnivore plan for 4 months. I feel better but still a long ways to go to be healed up. I hope I will heal up. I've lost so much of my life. I'm 63 now and tried so many things and diets none of it worked tills the Carnivore. Spent thousands of dollars my wife left me in part because of this. When you have this many times you just stay home because your weak and feel sick all the time. If you have US or Crohn's really any IBS I'd try this for 30 days to see if it would help you.
Your words mean a lot to me. I'm also 63 and desperate as no biologic has worked, I had a resection 10 years ago and was down to 116lbs from 160. I'm currently on Liadla and a very limited diet and started CBD oil which pulled me out pf a year long flare and doing better but recently had a scope exam and Dr said it looked like a qar zone in there. I'm stuck at 133lbs now and can't gain weight but can tolerate meat, which surprises my Dr's and family. I am going to go on this diet after I visit my son on Florida next month. I'm afraid to change things up with a trip upcoming. But it was really great to hear your experience. So many on this diet lose weight and I need to gain. Best wishes
great chat, thanks gentlemen. would be great to chat with some gastroenterologists with depth of clinical experience in treating ulcerative colitis and/or crohn's disease who are open to low-carb/keto/carnivore nutritional therapies as possible adjuncts to other strategies.
Thank you ! I am in the exact same situation and being released today after 2 weeks and almost drying here in the hospital. I look forward to using diet instead of the treatment plan they have set for me. I appreciate this video. Scariest thing of my life
How has it gone?
Just back from a 14 day cruise vacation OFF Carnivore....came back very ill again. One week back on and we are 100% recovered. The healing power of BBB&E is amazing. That was enough to prove to us we need never to stray again! Thanks for this vid, good job, God bless all!
I got recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, can you tell me what you ate to recover? Im starting to eat red meat, butter, eggs, and kefir , and i hope to see results
Excellent podcast! Glad this man has figured it out whilst still young. It took me 38 years to find a diet that causes me no gut issues. This guy appears super confident and self aware and able to shut out the conventional mantra about carbs. Also, it takes a while to be comfortable with a plate of meat / eggs / fish. It looks quite ‘beige’ and totally opposite to the ‘eat the rainbow’ = health plate that is popular now.
Great UA-cam video. I had the runs like 8 times a day and had colitis also. So not as bad as his. I discovered that I had to go gluten free when I went to Japan and stayed with a traditional family that did ate a non-western diet. Within a few days I had no problem! It was the first time in years:) But then when I went back to the states within two days I was having diarrhea multi times a day again. SO I realized that the difference was absolutely no processed foods or anything with wheat in it. So I went gluten free on my own even though the doctors thought I was crazy.Within 3 months my arthritis was so much better that i was able to stop the pain killers and only doing one ibuprofen a day.
Hi Susan, could you tell me what foods did you ate in Japan?
Hi there. I was diagnosed last January 2022 one month I was so sick i almost died. I was plantbased and whole foods before I got sick. I was very healthy. I did not drink smoke nothing. I decided to do the lion diet as I’m on Stelara I’m in full remission and it worked for me! Im about to ask to get off this biologic. Thank you for sharing!!
So you were vegetarian before gettin sick? If yes, me too. Maybe this is the point
@@abzadbu Yes I was😞
@@tinaanderson433 I was diagnosed in February 2022 with a mild colitis. Since 5 weeks my situation turned really bad and i‘m in a bad condition right now. I was 6 years vegetarian / almost vegan. I was eating almost every day the plantbased stuff. What about you? Do you eat meat right now?
@@abzadbu Yes that’s all I eat. I eat grass fed beef. I ordered a half cow. I have that with salt and water. It took 3 weeks and I was in remission.
@@tinaanderson433 Hi Tina, glad to hear that. Today i had my first meat after 6 years. Do you had blood in stool and when this disappared?
This was great! Thank you for sharing :) does anyone have any opinions about doing a short fast before jumping into carnivore?
I have had Ulcerative Colitis since 1988, I was on salazopyrin up to 7 years ago and now have PSE (Primary sclerosing cholangitis ) brought on by this medication. I am not on Pentasa and Azapress, I started Carnivore this week and I hope this helps me settle the symptoms I have been having over the last year. Living in South Africa, this diet is not cheap.
Hi. Any updates?
Any updates?
@@Bob-ow4ju Sadly it did not go well, with the PSE a carnivore diet is not conducive to the condition.
@@markvalente7293 Sadly it did not go well, with the PSE a carnivore diet is not conducive to the condition.
Hey I'm sorry to hear that. I've been doing it for about a month now and I'm having great results with just beef, pork, and salt. Symptoms have been greatly reduced, maybe using the restroom once or twice a day or even every other day, compared to 15 times a day before, and overall I just feel better. I know other UC suffers who are doing well on carnivore as well. @@garthmccarthy4911
I’ve had Crohn’s / UC since middle school. I turn 24 tomorrow. I started out on Remicade. This biologic worked for some time but failed and they switched me over to Humira. Humira worked for a while, but between the lengths of pre authorization and me not getting my shots on time Humira is failing me. It seemed to have kept a major flare from happening but now it’s getting worse. I started carnivore a little over 2 weeks ago. The first week was horrible - between me recovering from a recent flu - eating way less sugar and carbs - and quitting nicotine it was rough. The second week seemed much better. Felt low energy at first but that started to improve with the passing days. No stomach pain I thought things were actually improving. But in the last couple of days I’ve been having a lot more blood in stool and more frequent bowel movements, and of course stomach pain 😢 In the beginning of carnivore I was drinking milk. The past couple days I have cut that out, as I know it can aggravate symptoms. I also eat fruit but I’m planning on cutting that out too and just going strictly lions diet. I go to my GI doctor in a few weeks for a checkup. I know if I say my symptoms are bad he’ll up the dose on the immunosuppressant :/. If that happens how am I supposed to know if it’s the diet or the medication that’s working🤦♂️ I want this diet to work. I want to be off meds. I’ll keep everyone updated and open to hearing advice from people abt my situation.
Throw out the fruit, only then You can begin to heal ! The fiber in the fruit irritates your inflamed gut lining. Good luck !
How are you doing now?
Doing better now?
I have IBD crohns and any beef sends me straight to the bathroom with cramps…I live on chicken and grilled fish
same! if i eat beef im constipated or i do not use the bathroom for a few days
Can you recommend any gastroenterologists in the USA that are supportive of the carnivore diet to treat Ulcerative Colitis? My daughter has both Ulcerative Colitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. She is eating the carnivore diet and feeling so much better in just a few weeks. We'd love to be able to wean her off of meds under a doctor's care. She currently takes Entyvio infusions for her UC and oral vancomycin capsules for her PSC. Both diseases are in remission. We'd welcome your GI doc recommendations!!!!!
Hi Monica Williams …I’m looking for the same for my Mom ,please let me know if you find out anything please .
I can't find a single person actually talking about colonoscopy results, though. I want to do the diet but I need just a couple people to show me that their colonoscopy showed the colon was healed through actually looking at the intestines!!!
@SolidNate - Brett Ender says he had a colonoscopy and it showed he had no sign of inflammation left. He goes into detail about this on a podcast with shawn baker called Carnivore defeats ulcerative colitis - done about 11 months ago. It's on you tube.
@@phyllisunderwood2353Interesting. I'll try to find it.
No carb life, Dave mac had a two part with a guy who had crohns so bad that he had his colon removed before he went to carnivore.... Against docs advice... But the scans showed that there was ZERO inflammation in his guts and there was no evidence of crohns.
Cgm was denied by my insurance company
Absolutely fascinating! I have UC and my sister is getting me on Keto! I’ve spoken to my GI and he’s considering allowing this but I may go ahead with this decision on my own. My additional issue is I have high triglycerides and I’m on a statin. Any suggestions on how to navigate this diet with high trigs? Thank you!!!
Find a doctor who understands this lifestyle and he will explain that your triglycerides will most likely go down and your HDL will go up and he will most likely try to get you off the statin very soon. Look for someone to help you who knows what they are talking about in the Provider List of the SMHP:
thesmhp.org/directory/
@@LowCarbUSA thank you! The list showed no results in my surrounding area, so I’ll need to get my physician and GI to at least let me try this diet and track my progress. Pretty telling that no doctors here are motivated to explore the science of Keto/Carnivore.
@@Raven-777- are you still on med’s?
I also have UC been on azathioprine for 15years. Currently no symptoms for the past 12 years. I just don't want to be on any meds anymore. Wondering if this style of eating will aid in that process.
@@paulrudi8769 well as of my first post I have left the keto/carnivore diet. My liver enzymes went up and my GI has concerns, maybe fatty liver. Additionally it was quite restrictive, so I’ve gone back to the Mediterranean style diet, choose complex carbs, and cut sugar. I only use raw stevia for sweetening and make my own whole grain wheat/rye sourdough bread. A much more sustainable way of eating. I’m also on Humira…praying for a cure!!
Heyyyy i have really bad dry mouth plwase jelp
Thank you for sharing this. I am 25 with Ulcerative Colitis as of 2 years ago and am on Remicade. Very similar story. My doctor has offered no solutions other than colon removal or lifetime infusions. Starting this today. What are drink options, you all mentioned getting coffee- is there anything beyond that? Is it black coffee only, coffee with cream ect. Pop, juice, sparkling water? Thank you again
So, in my opinion, it is anything that doesn't have sugar in it. Coffee with cream in it works just fine. Sparkling water is great, no sugar. Juice is really bad, more sugar in fruit juice than almost anything. Also, while not ideal, drinks with artificial sweeteners will work too. As long as there is no sugar in it, it will work. You can wean yourself off the drinks with artificial sweeteners as time goes by.
Just drink water 🤷🏾♀️ or meat broth, sparkling water with acv..
That's very nice but for me I've tried full carnivore and suffer from discomfort of bloody stool
I'm coming to conclusion that low carb even zero carb it's not for me :(
Have you tried having some berries and fruit? I’m thinking about a “Paul Saladino” diet of meats, intestines and fruit, but with a lot less carbs than he consumes. I’ve done this with success myself. I have like 50-70 grams of blueberries and half a banana in the morning when I wake up, and then I go with meat from there for the rest of the day. It’s worth trying out.
How long did you try it for. I’m just a little over two weeks in and haven’t really seen any symptom improvement
I’ve been doing research on this for 15+ Years. Come to find out , it heavily depends on your blood type if you can Remission UC or Chrons with diet. I believe O Positive has the best results
Are you able to share this research that shows this?
I have A- and Crohn's. Am I just screwed?
@@dougie3911 so the only study I could find indicated that AB blood types with Crohn's disease responded to a specific medicine better. Otherwise everything I have found did not note a correlation between blood types and an inherent ability to overcome the disease.
Anyone that has Ibd and has done all the diets to heal knows its a roller coaster. One day a food is fine, the next it's not. Eliminating sugar and anything processed is a good start. I think carnivore could be a great elimination diet and help get off sugars and carbs and slowly introduce things, minus the processed food everyone thinks they're addicted to and can't live without.
I have A- and have been in Crohn’s remission for 10 years. Did carnivore 2 yrs (2007-2008) then keto.
Don’t worry about blood type. Lots of spotty assumptions in that research.
If your ancestors are from around the equator then maybe you will do better with some carbs. All else likely best on keto/carnivore.
Math is not the best skill of masses. The cost of that is so high (more than €400k )that the money made by "casino"-algorithm driven business is bigger than the loss if it was CGM for everyone. This is how bigPharma and bigInsurance works. What you rightfully suggest would be peanuts for these players. Think people, think.
About ultra and stuff. Going fat adapted is a bigger effort. So going 5 days fasted without loading is the thing. Maybe I will try that. Who knows.
Does this work for asians too
I would imagine it does. Best way to know is to try it. The benefits happen so quickly that you will know very soon after you start.
Hlo Mann are you follow carnivore diet.?
And how are you..?
What about cheese?
Do carnivore for awhile then add in cheese and see how you feel.
I’d say put dairy aside… do Lion at first
Hello i have ulc how many months i need to follow carnivore diet
