Diet for Crohn's Disease, IBD, and IBS: 5 Tips for Reducing Symptoms and Achieving Remission
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- In this video, I discuss 5 strategies I have implemented in my own diet that have helped me achieve remission from Crohn's Disease without the use of medications. I include tons of the latest research supporting my decision to implement these strategies, but they may not work for everybody- consult a nutrition professional (who is current on the research!) for more specific recommendations for you. Skip to hear about the different topics and how to implement positive changes- 1:22 Sugar. 3:25 Fiber. 4:25 Less Processing More Variety. 6:30 Intermittent Fasting. 7:52 Fermented Foods & CBD.
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.
Hi can you share your symptoms and diet plan? Did u suffer from gastritis as well?
I eat only red meats. Chicken even flares me up.
i have watched a video of a doctor, and he said literally the same 🤣🤣🤣. fiber makes things worse. i didnt try just meat yet, but i have to see.
Carnivor diet, 0 carbs, 0 sugar and 0 fiber, all symptoms gone ✌🏼
Realy please reply
I have experienced the same: carnivore with a 2-hour eating window, though not sure it’s sustainable long-term
I did my own research and found the exact same things (except for the cbd thing). I also found studies that showed omega-3 being anti-inflammatory. The solution from all of these studies is a whole-foods plant based diet. Thank you for the tips!
Great straightforward info. Thank 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.
Thank you so much for the video 🙏
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.
That's awesome! I know a ton of people who love Kefir too
@lorid5872 when you started the kefir, were you flaring? Also did you introduce it slowly or how much kefir did/do you drink a day. What type of milk do you use since cow's milk isn't good for IBD. Sorry for all the questions, just trying to make sure I don't make things worst. Thanks so much for your help.
I use water kefir, specific kefir’s grain fermented in water (no milk involved). Some good videos on youtube about water kefir. Full of probiotics.
Kefir and yogurt are milk products not a problem for crohns???
Was in a horrible flare for 3 years, then I got into remission for 3 years, now I’m recently back in a flare. From my experience you can heal your gut. I was on the verge of losing my colon. But reversed the inflammation with the tips he gave back in 2021.
Good luck on yalls journey we got this 💪🏽 @papuro IBD Advocate 💜
Great information 😀
I have not been diagnosed with crohn's disease but based on what I have found I'm pretty sure that I have it. Thank you for doing the research. I'll do some more because it's been a year since your video and a smart person always re-checks the facts. Thank you. 😊
Nah you need colonoscopy to be sure, maybe you have UC like i have
@@dimitriosgkanios4915 I'll look it up. Thank you.
Thank you! Currently in the hospital for a horrible flare. I have an abscess and 2 fistulas and I’m in so much pain. Being sent home to finish my antibiotics but going to do my best to heal the inflammation naturally. I will try all the tips I can.❤
Sorry to hear you are not doing well, best of luck! Hopefully these tips can be of assistance
Keira, I'm so sorry for what you're dealing with. I know what it means. I had it 3 times. Good luck and take care! 🍀🌷
Praying for you!! I’ve definitely been there and have had to have multiple fistula repair surgeries. Luckily none on the the last few years. Not sure what your particular full situation is but you are not alone and everything will be ok!!
Keira I hope you will feel better soon, I had diagnosed with Chron's illness a few month ago it is such a pain :/ is it possible to talk to you in any way? I am looking for people with such illnesses just to feel that I am not alone.
How are you now Keira ?
6months diagnosed with UC and trying to battle it - these diet tips are more or less what I’ve found from my research too reassuring to hear it’s worked / working for you and some others here.
and trying to combine that with meditation and walking exercise (about 6000-10000 steps a day) … seems to be helping so far …
Cutting out alcohol is making a difference too - I drank way too much for about 20yrs (40now) and wonder if that was maybe one of the major factors to trigger this all…good luck to everyone out there on your healing journeys ❤
I am lots of years with Uc and had terrible flares and hospital treatments,after years i can definitely tell you that fasting 24 hours and eat whatever you want in one meal per day will work,you can drink once a week also and btw use kefir and avocando three times per week to break the fast,i understand you are gona get hungry i am also but it's the only think that worked
Btw yeah exercise do miracles i workout everyday
Thank you!
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.
Wow what a story! I'm sorry for all the trouble you've been through, but I'm glad you have found some solutions that work. Best of luck to you 🫡
How are you now?
Thank you for taking the time to give this info,very informative indeed
What do you do for your sweet tooth? What do you use as a sweetener?
#1 thing you ALL should do is a Food Journal. Was told this 34 years ago. We share a name(Chrons) and that’s it! We are all different. Start writing down what Your body likes
Thankyou very much 🙏
Just got a diagnosis of perianal chrons disease. I already had a colostomy bag temporarily but now it seems it'll be permanent. I get overwhelmed learning about this disorder...and then I'm having another flare. I'm in constant pain....lord...I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
Sorry to hear it's not going well for you. Best of luck on your journey 🙏
My wife is in constant pain to the point of crying lots of times and it makes so so sad,I’m sorry you are in pain a lot as well,I’m on here looking for solutions to help her with her severe pain
Try the carnivore diet.
Drink bone broth (homemade) and eat carnivore. It helps right away i promise, I’ve been there myself ❤️🙏
🙏Thanks for this gift 💜 this helped me a lot at my worse time of chronic ibd condition 🥲 blessings 🙏
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.
From what I have gathered, every scenario is different. Some people go soluble, some go nonsolube, I personally do fasting, but I know some people do meals in regular intervals. There seems to be a good amount of trial and error involved in determining what will or won't work, that certainly was the case for me
I'm whole food plant based and don't go a day with beans, brown rice, or cruciferous veggies. Maybe everyone is just different. Also, I've always been asymptotic. Found crohns because it was time for me to get a colonoscopy due to my age.
I can't eat whole-grains at all. They are my biggest trigger for a flare-up.
Raw veg and dairy are out, for me. I pay for days if I indulge ☹️ definitely a trial and error for each one of us, to find our "triggers". Fasting helps me SOOO much. I eat one meal a day and live pretty normally 😍
You cannot insoluble fibre, soluble fiber is good for the gut
Well Explained TY
Kombucha is made with sugar and makes me worse. Homemade sauerkraut has been extremely helpful. So has the goodbelly probiotic challenge and bromelain after eating. Dandelion tea made from the roots and leaf helps with my bloating. Benefiber doesn't cause me stomach upset like Metamucil.
I tried everything,fasting really help,just eat every 24 hours,you can eat everything even have couple of drinks once a week,just go 24 hours with only water and koffee,ohh and try to drink some kefir 4 times per week
I was told by several doctors that fiber is actually a no no for me. Depends though because there is soluble vs insoluble fibers. Also, I notice the best thing that has truly helped my gut health, but it also isn't easy- keto and or carnivore lifestyle.
I agree. I need to keep away from fiber during a current flare up.
@@nicholasjolt6200 Stay away from fibre during a flare up but ok when in remission? Thank you
I am in terrible shape ,it took 13 months to get diagnosed...it's crohns, bad Dr insurance denied 😢 over and over now skin and bones, sick, pain weak,off balance diarrhea,...... waiting for. Authorization for infusion to reduce inflammation need surgery to fix hernia complications from total colonectomy j pouch 23 years ago!! Help!!!!
@@lindaarmstrong3873carnivore diet.... it helps me, Do some research. Maybe start by watching Dr Ken Berry here on UA-cam
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.
Thanks for sharing, hopefully this tip will help someone who needs it!
Quick question, if you can eat pretty much anything you want without a negative reaction, then how do you end up with a flare up? Is it something other than food which causes your flare up? Thank you
@@Cryptolorian it just happens some times. i dont think i can control it with diet, but i try to eat pretty healthy anyways. To me the flare ups seem completely random, but i’ve noticed that if im severely stressed, the flares are like 10x worse.
@@mus1km1x3r I appreciate you getting back to me and wish you the very best.
That's the same with me just like you said. Stress is a big one
Great video doc! Sraight to the point... Whats your thoughts on bone broth??
I had never really looked into it until you asked, but I couldn't find any research of how it does or does not relate to the development or management of Crohn's. I know it's kind of a trending topic, but I haven't looked into it much myself
Thc💚
That is true the more natural food that plants natural is are❤
I used to be a meat eater but I did my own study and put my Crohn’s into remission by giving up meat and only sardines once a week. I eat Whole Foods and absolutely NO processed foods! Cut out all yeast breads and now I eat only sourdough bread. I consume 100% Greek olive oil and no seed oils. Also I cut all sugar out of my diet. If I want a berry spread for toast I will smash fresh berries and spread them on the bread. I cut out all dairy.
Love it! Eating less processed foods will usually be of great benefit to the vast majority of humans

As a family with a contact allergy we can identify with the irritated digestive tracks of the Crohns diease patients. When you are highly allergic to something the skin will blister up, turn red, swell, the skin will actually be destroyed by the contact at times. This can cause damage to gums, hair follicles, stomach and on down the line. Elimination of the top allergens may help.
Hello I agree with your video all sugars and fats truly messes up my tummy competely. At the same time when I eat too much fiber my tummy becomes terrible! Specially leafy greens I can t digest them at all and they come out the same way they came in. Can you recommend fiber food that are easy to digest please?
Post more genuine videos on crohn's disease ❤
My son was recently diagnosed, and just started Humira. I see different people say all sorts of different things. Just trying to find a basic diet to follow for breakfast, lu ch, and dinner. Tough to see my son deal with the pain.
He was diagnosed with Chron's Diaease
@dnash1133 Sorry to hear about that, Crohns is definitely not a one size fits all type of condition. From what I have gathered, the most successful treatments usually come about with some trial and error and quite a bit of nuance. Best of luck finding strategies that work for your son!
Sorry to hear, my son was diagnosed in 2021 - he is now 9 years old. The things we found make the most different. Processed sugar is a no. We went gluten and diary free. These 3 things have made a big difference. Adding more fibre into his diet via foods helped also
@@navkirangill6183how is he doing now? X
@@alexhaynes5330 He has kept well. I found a product - Qenda ultimate fibre, tastes horrible, is expensive but it's been the best. We all take it as a family as its the healthiest all our guts have felt. Look into it, all natural products. His Inflammation makers have come down to normal. He has not been on any meds for a year
Hi Doctor after failed steroids and immunotherapy I have tackled my Crohns with diet and anti inflammatory treatment. This additional information such as added sugars and Kombucha will help me with my recovery. I am 5 weeks post resection surgery and feeling much better since adopting a new anti inflammatory diet.
Glad that you are doing better!
I imagine food allergies and sensitivities like peanut allergy and lactose or gluten intolernece could contribute. Elimination diets may help one find out. Variety may help with this issue as it would help dilute the amount of an unidentified inflammatory food in your diet.
I did an elimination diet starting with a 17 day fast. I found any anything that turns into sugar (bread, milk, potatoes, etc) would make symptoms worse when I was especially sensitive coinciding with a flareup. I found meats and eggs were didn’t have any negative effects. I did find some peanut oil and different seasoning caused issues as well. Almonds seem to be OK but peanuts and cashews were not. Keep in mind my symptoms were particularly bad and drugs. Don’t seem to be helping, so I got pretty desperate.
eat only eggs and beef
Please make a video on how to do intermittent fasting
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.
All the above are autoimmune diseases, I would recommend having your b12 , folate ( not folic they are not the same ) intrinsic factor, iron, mma, and homocysteine tested . All the best 👍
Thank you Dr. for helping. I am 18y and I have 6years+ crohn, recently I started going gym but I have blood when I go to toilet. It started before gym, should I stop going to gym. Just a blood is a problem, I feel great.
I would ask your GI doctor about that one

Could I still benefit as I feel its to late for me I've have small intestine part removed and rejoined can't put on any weight even on medication just getting fed up and very depressed
I need a list of food to eat 😩 I'm very starving I just diagnosed with this disease 2 days ago and I'm shattered from all videos on UA-cam talk about a lot information I just need I list to start eating....I have severe stricture at ileocecal valve
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.
Thanks for reaching out, but my doctorate is in physical therapy, and I'm afraid your questions are outside my wheelhouse. For interpretation, I would direct your questions to whoever ordered your lab work
Can you give me some tips on how to get out of a flare. Mostly everywhere I search there's tips on staying in remission but not getting out of a flare. About fermented veggies, would you recommend starting those during a flare?
In terms of dietary recommendations during an acute flare, with the understanding that many people have more symptomilogy than I have personally dealt with, that extends a little further than I would be confident reaching. I would consult a Registered Dietitian about that one. I can tell you at least for me when things become irregular, I focus even more on eliminating added sugars and consuming as wide a variety of fruits/veggies as possible
@@DrHoulihan thanks for the reply. Can I ask what types of veggies and fruits? Soluble fiber?
"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
@@user-dp5ub9lo2m id be careful of fruits and veggies during a falre. great way to get a blockage.
Are you taking any meds for your crohn's?
I'm confused. Some sources said IBD person shouldn't eat fiber rich foods while others like u guys said they should. Or only when flare up they should reduce? Can u lighten me up?
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
@@DrHoulihan I find a big difference in soluble vs non. Oatmeal seems ok as does Benefiber. otherwise I use ensure. or eat bread and rice.
Dr please answer me l have been suffering from diarrhea for 3 months and bally noise is it a symptom of IBS
I need to get rid of upper middle stomach pain every day have any ideas? However, I have dyspepsia after gallbladder surgery still feels like same pain never went away.
I would see a GI doctor for this. Specific dietary or medication recommendations are outside my scope
Great advice. Fibre is anti inflammatory. Short chain fatty acids are produced by your Microbiota when you feed them plant fibre. These scfa heal your gut. There is a book “fiber fuelled”.- amazing read
You're right, fiber is highly underrated!
My son has Crohns and we are controlling it with diet… following this exact advice. Also having lots of polyphenols and anthocyanin rich foods. We try to have prebiotics mixed with probiotics daily, with omega 3 rich foods (chia, flax, walnuts), and lots of pomegranate to reduce colonic inflammation.
@@TheAnjanisoni can you please ping me your email id, wanted to discuss about the diet
@@pkxddivine hello
@@TheAnjanisoni hey, not sure if we are allowed to share email id on UA-cam comments, just pinged you mine but it is not visible. Actually i wanted to discuss about the diet for me kid.
Here is my problem: I do have Crohn's Disease, have had it for many years, and have had one resection surgery for the removal of a section of bowel that was abscessed. I just shake my head when someone tells me to eat more fiber, but especially someone who also has Crohn's Disease! Fiber tears me up! I am in pain, and basically it just runs through the course of the intestinal track and comes out looking like it did when it went in. How can you digest and absorb foods that are "good for you" when you already have Crohn's Disease???
i've had UC for 20 years and i've never had a high blood mark for CRP or any other marker even while in a flair lol
A high fbre diet causes many people with Crohn's a lot of issues.
How long did it take you to get an official diagnosis?
Got it following a colonoscopy, probably about 3 years after I first had symptoms
I have Crohn's and no eating plan works.. sometimes even water hurts
what about the exercises? do Crohn's disease patients need to do exercise? and if yes then what kinds of exercises suit them?
That's a good question, I don't have the answer for that one
@@DrHoulihan kindly search research papers regarding this sir and answer me ..i need to know ..thanks.:)

everybody needs to exercise. . . so I would say yes.
What is the treatment of fistula,?
That is above my pay grade, I would consult a GI doctor

There are several options but all require medical intervention. I believe the most common is starting with a seton placement followed by surgery to “close” the fistula.
awesome information Just a note on research Anything older than 10 years is not ideal even if its still accurate as it should have been reviewed within that period Not a cristism and I and very grtaeful for the time you have taken Just don't want to your findings to be dismissed due to the age of research

Would fruit be considered Added Sugar?
No, fruit has naturally occurring sugars. If you're reading a product label, they distinguish between "sugar" and "added sugar" and fruit by itself would not be considered "added"
@@DrHoulihan But it's STILL sugar! And Fructose! which causes fatty liver disease without the alcohol.
oy vey
@@sigalsmadar4547 Any data or research demonstrating fruit as a causative factor for liver disease?
@@DrHoulihan there's plenty on fructose. Start with Dr Lustig.
Any of the experts at Low Carb Down Under, like Dr Paul Mason.
This prospective cohort study of 50,000+ shows significantly decreased risk of liver disease with increased consumption of fruits

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.
Did your colonoscopy show that you are in remission as well?
I have not had a second colonoscopy since the first one, so I can't say one way or another
@@DrHoulihan got it. I'm at a major crossroads and have been seeing so much stuff. It's so hard to pick what to do.

It's. Bad for me. I also have hypothyroidism
Nope FIBER kills me
Try the carnivore and drink bone broth it will help you better ❤️
Why do you introduce yourself as a Doctor if you aren't a doctor in any way?
SOLUBLE fiber. Insoluble will be like colon blow.
If you’re not a medical doctor than what kind of doctor are you
Doctor of Physical Therapy
@@DrHoulihan ahhh gotcha
If you are not a doctor, why have Dr in your name?
He meant physician, but he's a doctor of physical therapy
THIS DISEASE IS NOT CURABLE IT WILL COME BACK
ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ
fiber is bad for the gut
This disease is a curable
No. I'm 65. Had it for most of my life. Not curable because your organs break down from the stress. Goes from inside out. So later your skin and hair start breaking down. You can bring it to a point that is workable.
How?
How
@@jayson3994 by changing diet for some months.
IBD or UC is not curable, however you can start taking Herbalife which is good and does improve your health condition, also exercise and eat good that is easy to digest mainly natural food.
I appreciate the video but don't call yourself a doctor if you're not one
You know there are other doctoral degrees that aren't in medicine, right?
This disease will never be curable
Clickity clack “ doctor Houlihan” click bait
Animal based carnivore diet has saved me I was so close to death with crohns and now because I decided to stop veg, and eat mostly ruminant meat I feel amaZing last scope was complete success remission and without the stelara I was on so I are ignorant and wrong sir I'm sorry
Please can i boil the meat?
@@aminusebyes you can absolutely boil the meat as well and blend it I have done that as well nothing is better nutrition for remission than carnivore or keto I promise u I'm 24 months in remission off meds etc
100% agree with this, carnivor is the way of you have Crohn's! 👏🏼
@@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.
@tylerbird1359 By definition crohns is only in the small intestine. Colitis by definition is in the colon.
