Today we’re going to talk about a few things you can do to help improve an inflamed colon. Whether you have some type of irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, or celiac, these remedies may be beneficial.

9 things to focus on to help heal an inflamed colon:

1. Avoid gluten and grains
Gluten can tear up the inside part of the lining of the colon.

2. Avoid dairy
You could have an allergy to casein that creates inflammation.

3. Limit vegetables
You could have an altered microbiome, which means that your microbes are going to be easily overwhelmed by the fiber in vegetables. This can create a lot of bloating. You may want to do carnivore for a little while if you can digest protein. It’s also important to avoid vegetable oils.

4. Don’t consume alcohol and don’t smoke
Smoking depletes you of certain nutrients. You can get more inflammation.

5. Chlorophyll
If you’re not consuming vegetables to get chlorophyll, wheatgrass juice powder can be a good source of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can be very healing to the inside of the colon.

6. Intestines with stomach (as a supplement)
You may have some type of autoantibodies, and this product could be very beneficial and give you a lot of relief.

7. Take purified bile salts
If there is some type of inflammation in the colon, you could also have a problem recycling bile salts. This could cause you to become deficient in bile. Bile salts can help keep the junctions of the colon tight, regulate the balance of microbes in the gut, and help keep things flowing through the liver, gallbladder, and intestines.

8. Do fasting
Do intermittent fasting to some degree and even periodic prolonged fasting. Fasting is one of the best things to stimulate stem cells in the colon to help heal the lining of the intestines.

9. Take a good probiotic
This could help repopulate the microbes that you have in your colon.

Best Doctor ever. Regular doctors should be ashamed of their incompetence.

I love this man, he give us information for free

[withEeez]

A doctor who mentions "healing" the body🤯🤯🤯 respect doctor berg

[sitkidemiral]

Dr Berg for president! What a guy! I couldn’t thank him enough for all his informative videos

[BonesAndButtons]

Thank goodness for Dr Berg. And I love that he is just a guy with a white board. None of that off putting, over the top, American hype and drama.

I became addicted to the videos from Dr. Berg. There is so much to learn about our bodies, and it is a real treasure to have it explained point by point, so we (who are not educated on the topic) can learn and connect the dots. It would be great if Dr. Berg can cover a topic about nasal polyps and what we need to do in order to get rid of them or to reduce them without the surgery. I believe many people who suffer from allergies or sinusitis have the same problem without even knowing that...

I stopped Gluten about 8 months ago. Glad I did. I was tested and was told I was not celiac, and not allergic to gluten but stopping gluten has improved my health. I then decided to find out exactly what I was allergic to. I found out I was highly allergic to barley. Then I discovered that barley is added to most wheat flour because it helps bread rise. So I assume it was the barley causing my issue. I then started using Gastro Comfort by NOW pharmaceuticals. This has also helped. Added regular probiotics and small amount of psyllium fiber daily and my IBS seldom flares up now.

I think as a person does low carb with IF they go through healing stages over time. My whole family has been doing this for 2+ years and we have had to tweak it as our symptoms changed and we learned new info. I couldn't do carnivore for the first year but now my body seems to want it. We all feel much better; thanks Dr. Berg!

[elizabethplane]

Day 3. Feeling better, more hopeful. Fasting is a good feeling. Have bought the suggested product ideas. Bloating is less.

[elizabethplane]

I’ve followed these suggestions for three weeks. It wasn’t hard to do and most all of the colon swelling has gone down and the colon pain has 99% subsided. Obviously I’m not abandoning the regime yet, if ever. Thanks a million.

Thank you Dr. Berg. We are following you, but from an Arab channel that translates a video for you

[neallansdowne]

A local alternative medicine doctor I went to see wanted to charge me 10K for his treatment plan. I could not afford that. This wonderful man gives it away here online. You will be repaid Dr. Berg by the Creator of Heavens and Universe for your giving heart.

[reesacard]

I was in the ER a week ago and diagnosed as having diverticulitis. Videos on this disease would be greatly appreciated. Your videos are so helpful, thank you!

[Reela]

I found that eating fruits like blueberries, strawberries and a little bit a banana helps me. Another thing is boiled fish with boiled potatos helps too. I try not to eat too much though and I often skip meals. I also take supplements that has Vitamin D and b12 in them and they help a little.

[pohakukuamoo]

Exactly what I'm suffering right now. Thank you for making me feel like I have a cheerleader in my corner

From our experiences we have determined that something that you are putting in your mouth is the cause of the digestive problems. Elimination of processed foods and hydrogenated oil helped us. They are full of preservatives that contain major allergens. Resturants almost solely use hydrogenated oils because of the cheaper cost.
