A Diet for Patients with Crohn’s and Colitis

New research is suggesting that the foods we eat can change the environment of the gut and that some dietary patterns will aid in healing the gastrointestinal inflammation that patients with Crohn’s and Colitis experience. Making these changes can be difficult, but this video shows two patients who feel the changes are worth it and that they are doable.

I was diagnosed with colitis three days ago. This video was very helpful…especially Linda’s food preparation portion. I’m going to start a diary of foods I eat and my bathroom habits today. I let this go on far too long, thinking it was stress related and a week’s vacation was going to cure my issues. Thank you all very much for posting this information!

I had Microscopic Colitis and found it was caused by the antidepressant, Zoloft. When I went of that medication the Colitis was healed.
My sister has Crohn’s and I know what a difficult journey it can be. 🙏🏼

I went on a carnivore diet and my 28 year battle with Crohn's has been won. Not a single flareup in over two years . Solid poops. No more abdominal cramps and pain.

It’s been over 15 years for me ! I’ve had colitis since I was 13 😫 I really been doing good for the past few years no meds and all of a sudden this month I’m having a flare up ! It sucks I just wish I could live a normal life

Fasting and keto/carnivore diets works for me, cut out sugar and all processed foods

Thank you for this video. Probably the first one I've found with a fairly good outline of what to do. I'm struggling to figure out what foods I can actually have that won't upset my digestive system. I can really appreciate what a struggle this is and eating out is almost impossible but has become such a part of our 'normal' way of life. :(

I wish I could find a site that actually gives an eating plan. The sites I have researched give contradictory advice. My son is like a skeleton with Crohns

[notsure]

an anti- inflammatory diet has helped me

[disneyfanatic]

What’s the diet? This doesn’t tell us what it is.

[dakotacoggins]

A modified WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED DIET NO ADDED OIL SUGAR OR SALT and elimination of gluten and caffine has helped me wonders

[kavyasingh]

Is there any medcn which can reduce severe pain due to chrons disease??

[jakegolding]

You never once explained what the specific carbohydrate diet is.

Did Linda ever have a biopsy on her microscopic Colitis for Gram Negative Bacteria? That would distinguish what bacteria is causing reg T cells to activate and cause her inflammitory response. Its all about the Microbiome. You may be feeding your bad bacteria what it needs to thrive. Good Video. Keep up the good work

I have yet to have a formal diagnosis, but the ER says it's colitis. It started three months ago and is extremely painful.

hi what you think about eggs can we have take eggs in inflammatory bowel disease??

[zwerina]

The diet sounds a bit band for me plus I travel to Asia frequently where everything is palm oil poison and good fruit & veggies are hard to find. I suffer most on these trips.
