- This talk is on a inflammatory bowel disease, specifically Crohn's disease.
How and why the kind of standard, low fibre, high-fat, animal-heavy diet contributes or exacerbates the disease. Why a whole food plant-based diet may be the solution to that problem.

SO happy to see a doctor promoting plant based diet! I also had Crohn’s and don’t take meds and don’t have flare ups anymore and I’m plant based. 🌱

Swapnamol Varghese GO TO A HOSPITAL NOT CZcams
@@swapnamolvarghese2503 How is she doing now? The answer to your question you'll find on Nutrition FactsOrg -site, Dr Greger's Daily Dozen. Sure your child has been tested for celiac disease? If test was negative, avoiding gluten from wheat might be enough instead of avoiding all glutein containing foods. As long as symptoms persist, also nutritional yeast should be avoided or used just a teaspoonfull daily, because it's so rich in zinc. Some harmful gut bacteria love zinc. Take care of D3, B12 and iodine. What's the level of your child's calprotectin now? Meds? Future plans made for her in health care?
@@theresae4697 hospital might diagnose but drugs will not work for everyone, or many people at all
Thank you so much! My bestfriend just got diagnosed and I'm going to learn everything I can about the disease so we can get through this together
You are a fantastic friend, hope it is working for your friend
Your lucky , my family and friends have done nothing to help me , I’ve had crohns for 40 yrs.
You are a great person for doing this, I wish I had the same support. It's easy to feel alone when you are sick, good job doing this.
You’re amazing how is your friend now ?Just to let you know that intermittent fasting has worked wonders on me!
You are a good friend. My husband have chron since 1 year now And he feel really not understood by his friends And family. I help him but he need a male friend like you. Wish u The best And I hope your friend is doing well.
I can say that I am one who is in complete remission from a semi vegetarian diet. Now I’m fully plant based and I forget I have Crohn’s!!! I started this bc of COVID and I was scared of dying in the hospital. I’m soo happy about it! And I will say from trial and error that sugars affect crohns too. I cut those out as well
I have just been diagnosed with mild crohn’s and it scares me I lost too much weight, how did you put it in remission? So plant based means no meat at all ?
@@Hana-Ekram I think I might have crohns 😔 what types of tests do they run to diagnose you ?
@@Hana-Ekram I eat seafood at times but mostly whole plants. Also, pay attention to plants that cause gas or extremely fibrous. That will do the opposite of what you are trying to achieve
So happy for you ,did your weight come back normal?
Hi, I hope you dont mind me asking, do you have a colostomy bag?
Thank you Alan, this diet turned my life around!
An excellent and very helpful presentation. Dr. Desmond is wonderful. Gratitude.
Dr Desmond thank you so much. I feel awful that my stomach doesn't digest the food that I eat. I'm Kenyan and healthcare here is not the best. May God help me as I try to get the best care available
May God be with you my friend.
Hello Gara i am Kenyan too living with crohns disease get in touch
@@bakeybekks832 Try Indian spicy curry for a few days i found it works for crohn's disease it restores gut health.
Damn. Developing crohn's in kenya is tough. This is typically are first world country disease. I wish u the best
God bless u and everyone here❤❤❤❤❤
Dr Desmond, I just subbed, this is the very best I formation that I have ever seen, absolutely brilliant, thankyou! 😊
This is a great video that also looks at the effects of the environment on the occurrence of the disease.
God forbid we discuss the true nature of the disease and stop the perpetuation of the disease thru preventative measures rather than allow the disease to become more prevalent and just rely on expensive treatments that need to be administered on an ongoing basis.
The current approach or emphasis in the medical field is to raise awareness of idiopathic chronic disease and push expensive maintenance drugs that need to be taken on an ongoing basis
I'm in so much pain everyday that if this video was behind a paywall...I'd fork up all the money. This is so worth it. Great explanation and studies demonstrated. Thank you so much for this.
I do semi vegetarian before I saw this bc of covid and being scared of the hospital. I can tell you I’m in complete remission and the pain is gone so is the bloody stools.
@@heychunkybutt2010 how did you find out you had ibd? What types of tests did they run ?
@@81redddd Gastrologist will do colonoscopy and blood work, also if you notice mucus in stool especially with diarrhea. Some people also get anal abses with fistula.
oooooo.... that really gives me hope... I have been suffering for 30 years now and my life is not liveable anymore. I really hope and pray this diet will finally help me too...
Reach out to Dr folonsho, he can help you too, he is a herbal doctor, who deals on plants and natural treatment, he healed my husband from chrons disease, he can help you too.
My dental hygienist said her mom was diagnosed with Crohn disease when she was in 20's. Her doctor said she is CURED from Crohn because she doesn't have any symptoms for such a long period of time after stopping her medication.
Her mom changed her diet and exercise regularly.
Many GI doctors say eating seafood and fish, garlic, onion, beans, banana, apple(Do not remove skin of apple), broccoli, leafy vegetables....etc. FEED GOOD BACTERIA in GI tract.
Many studies show that eating sugar feeds BAD BACTERIA in GI tract. Doctors said sugar is food for bad bacteria and cancer. Be careful with many hidden food additives and sweeteners such as Maltodextrin and emulsifiers which can cause leaky gut. Many doctors said leaky gut can cause Crohn disease. Please watch 'Secrets of Sugar (CBC News)'. I hope this helps you a lot.
Jesus loves you !
Such an eye opener.
I’ll admit I haven’t been able to eat exclusively Whole food plant based 100% of the time (some eggs here and there, poultry) but merely eliminating dairy and the 2 big offenders he mentions - Maltodextrin and polysorbate 80 completely changed my body. Eliminated all my Crohns Sx… and all the adjacent ones (like the joint pain and arthritis which was sometimes worse than the digestive symptoms!) I wish this info were more well-known. So grateful for Dr D!
What kind of diet you recommend? As I’m suffering with Crohn’s disease for last 12 years. Thanks
@@MuhammadIbrahim-mj1bj paleo diet, no sugar, no starches (potatoes) no fruit and fruit juice. Plenty of good fats and omega 3 - coconut oil, coconut cream and milk, olive oil, salmon, sardines, ground flaxseed, ground chia, plenty of broccoli and cauliflower, avocado, butter, plenty of nuts. Low diary intake. Low carb diet. Really important to avoid grains - rye, barley, wheat. Go gluten free.
@martinaharrisondefault5027 did this help you go into remission?
This has made me so happy because it confirms what I thought. My Gastro put me on a low fibre diet because I have a stricture but I felt so rubbish on it, constantly hungry and my weight rocketed up. So I decided to cut out all refined sugars and processed foods from my diet and after a couple of months I felt amazing. So much more energy and I could eat vegetables that I previously hadnt been able to digest without pain. My symptoms were non existent and I lost ten kilos in weight over three months. I may cut out animal products too after watching this ! Thank you again !
Now that’s inspirational. Well done.
You will suffer immensely if you do.
@@herekittykitty9324 Really ? Why ?
@@CoventryTarot As a sufferer from birth with Crohn's, roughage and fiber destroyed me. They use to make me do these crazy diets and it cost me several feet of intestines. Meat is the easiest to digest. Fiber is my enemy.
@@herekittykitty9324 I'm so sorry to hear that :( Fibre has been difficult for me too, but I found that by reducing the general inflammation in my body caused by sugar and processed food I am able to tolerate a bit more fibre. I still can't go wild with it, but I have been able to re-include some foods I couldn't previously eat without pain, and this has helped me to feel better and increase my energy levels. Crohns is such an individual disease without a one-size-fits-all solution, so as sufferers we are all left just trying to figure out what works best for us. Personally I've stopped listening to the 'experts' and started listening to my body and doing what feels best for me. I hope you are feeling well Donna, good luck .
Wonderful talk about the benefits of a WFPB diet in Crohn's disease!
This is really amazing to watch. It brings hope to my own family, I can't wait to hear about the research discovered with the plant based study the hospital is doing! I hope they keep coming out... the outcomes are so outstanding to keep this information unkown!unknown! We are transitioning over to a wfpb diet from our vegan diet in the next couple months... I am really hopping to see improvements in my s.o. life

Thank you so much!! My oldest adult daughter was diagnosed when she was about 11 and has had one surgery. Her only periods of remission were when she was pregnant (strangely enough).

Thank you so much for your research and sharing! Appreciate soooo much what you doing!!
I wrote an email to Dr Alan Desmond!
I have Crohn’s since 15 years. Ive been vegetarian for 12 years!! I understand more my remission journey now! I love eat plants and whole foods!
I have a plant based diet and feel energize and super healthy!!!
Thank you 😊
thank you so much for the important information. my 42 yr old son suffers from crohn’s disease, his diet is difficult to control.
Thank you so much. Have had Crohn's for 10yrs now. Had an operation, medications work to maintain for a while then stop, and flare ups are brutal. I hate eating food now and I'm tired of my stomach always hurting.
Most of these people would benefit from seeing an allergist. Processed foods contain undisclosed allergens in the compound elements. As well as over the counter and prescription drugs.
Many thanks..just got a flare up...going to do this for sure..so clear and so helpful, bless you.

@@carolbruton9117 So did a vegan diet help?
@@ladym.9268 sadly I've had to go on steroids and anti-inflammatory medications as it seems once a flare up has started its impossible to stop it regardless of any dietary efforts...I did try for 6 weeks..but was getting worse.
Once under control I intend to put into practice dietary suggestions to prevent a further flare up...I think from experience dairy and gluten are things to avoid.
@@carolbruton9117 I wish you the best. @highcarbhealth might be something to check out.

Regards good diet....can one eat lentil soup,bulgar and oatmeal?? Or recommend another link that covers this. Great vid many thanks...
I was vegan for 8 years I started getting ready sick after the first year of veganism. I ended up having horrible acne that I never had my entire life. My hair would fall out and I couldn't eat any fruit. If I ate a piece of fruit I would be bent over in tremendous pain for hours. I was just diagnosed with crohn's disease after years of suffering and the vegan community telling me I have fruit belly or my body was detoxing. I just feel lost because I truly believe in the vegan diet but after I stopped the diet my face completely cleared up and I can eat fruits again. I now have to face my diagnosis and I feel like I'm lost. I don't have as many stomach episodes now which is nice. I wish someone could help me.
People like Dr Chaffee and Dr Ken Berry recommend a carnivore diet to treat autoimmune diseases like UC and Crohns. Good luck!
Everyone is different. Listen to your body . Don’t just follow a diet blindly cause it’s praised as healthy and cures all . Some people do well on meats , some plant based . Personally I’m allergic to most plants , seeds, nuts , tubers , legumes and certain fruit … so I can’t do plant based . Also certain meats , seafood and eggs would kill me . But beef for some reason is ok 👍🏾
You most probably have SIBO, key is to adress this before introducing lots of vegies and fruits. I also believe meat and animal products are great, it's all about balance.
Possibly all the additives and ultra processed foods in the vegan diet.
Ditch the greens and oxalates and go on a high fat beef and salt diet. Your gut will thank you.
Thanks a lot Dr Alan Desmond!
I'm here for my friend actually, and I'd like to ask to people who have this disease take any medicine?
I used to eat a high fibre, vegetarian diet, and had constant problems with gas and bloating.
The diet wasn't working for me, and I was forced to experiment with other things. Surprisingly, it was a high fat animal-based diet that gave me the most relief. Now, I eat mostly meat and animal fats and have zero digestive issues.
The tricky thing about the research in this video is that it's hard to separate out the people who eat animal foods but don't eat junk food as well. Most people who eat animal fat and protein also go for fast food regularly, drink soda & alcohol, and eat snacks very high in processed sugar and processed seed oils.
Animal foods are very low in fiber, which I've actually found to be the best thing for my gut. I know that some research might disagree, but there is other research looking at (a healthy version of) animal based diets and seeing good results for Crohn's patients. It also worked for me, and to be honest, saved my life.
Oooo Thank You Dr Alan 1000 times, bc this is what was Missing(SUFFERING)fOR about 13 years .Iam Cronhs patient It always aggravated Me the pain when I eat Fats and proteins full My Stomach. Or I drink Tea or Coffee.I can't really Finish Of such problems I had really. I Just Use to hate my Self cry but Know Iam on medication (AZATHIOPRINE),so Iam happy to hear dr Advice and kind of food💝💝🎁👌🙏🤛
20 YEARS med free with Crohn’s! I eat basically a carnivore diet with occasional berries. ❤❤❤❤ veggies and grains damage me. We are all different.
Modern diet is killing us..
Calcium stearate used in processed sausage making to prevent caking is a derivative of soybeans.
Proteins can often have soybean preservatives on them to prolong self life even though they are marked natural. Most people sensitive to soybeans will also have a dairy allergy. Protein markers on soy are similar to other fruits and veggies making it more likely you will form an allergy to them as well.
Thank you. My 20 yr old son is currently on Aza and they want to change him to bio. Thing is they haven't done any tests on him for awhile and he's not been too bad. Now he is veggie but eats a load of cheese. We have a meeting next week and I'm not sure what to say ?
Each to their own, I think it comes down to you personally and your microbiome, to our family certain plants are very very inflammatory, grains are a hard no, along with legumes beans, tomatoes and some nuts - even those are tough as they are contaminated with other nuts, dairy or cow dairy also. Meat and fish works, preferably with pasture or wild raised animals.
Lots and lots of Bone broth Meat or fish, every day and we're as happy as larry, whoever he is,
For those of you suffering you must look after your microbiome, you need to seed it and feed it, soil based ones work for us, water kefir if you can't have dairy, we like coconut but it's not for everyone, find what works for you and you alone, in our family we have celiac, IBD, RA and MS, the things above had made all the difference, annoyingly it's different foods for each of us, wish you luck xxx
PS. The study above is also sponsored by VegFund, it may be slightly skewed towards that, who knows
Great points here. I’ve had Crohns for 26 years and can attest that a plant based diet even if it “works” would not necessarily be the healthiest way to go based on chemicals in plants that are present naturally and placed by man.
The key is Whole Foods, pay attention to chemicals and ingredients. I eat no sugar, no starch, no seed oils, no processed food, period.
I eat good grass fed proteins and practice intermittent fasting and I’m in excellent health at 51.
By the way, on your point about the sponsor of this study/video…soot on and a great reason to do other research and look for info not connected to special interact.
Gastro docs are not nutritionists and nutritionists are not all created equal.
Please could you tell me what you mean by soil based? Please I beg u to reply. Thanks
Exactly. Like some are promoting carnivore some plant based. It's so confusing and individual.
@cghrios783 apologies ive only just seen this, sbo's are bacillus probiotics, thre types work well subtilis, coagulans, clausii they all are great and kill off bad bacteria
Doesn’t work for me, I have tried all the eliminations diets. Had this disease for 29 years, plant based causes excess pain with my inflammation. My Crohn’s is moderate to severe. So when my Crohn’s is bad, I have to cut out all fruit and veg and stick with carbs, once I’m settled a bit I know I can introduce certain veg and fruit. I have to be careful with seeds and grains as they can get stuck in the area of my bowel where I have a stricture, and that’s not fun. Meat doesn’t worry my bowels at all, neither does chocolate thankfully. I just hope one day we can find out what causes the immune system to attack what appears to be healthy bowel, and we can treat the disease and not the symptoms. Immunosuppressants are not fun to be on, but having full on inflammation is worse.
Have you tried the carnivore diet for elimination purposes?
I find slippery elm and marshmallow root helps me I to can only eat certain vegs cauliflower asparagus carrots potatoes I'm fine with Give me broccoli and that's it almost straight away.
I don't suppose you have a diet sheet for us to follow? This would be very helpful. I have Crohn's disease, had surgery end of May and I just can't heal from it. In so much pain 24/7 😫 Dr's not helping much anymore and I am at the end of my tether!
Dr Ken Berry and Dr Anthony Chaffee recommend a carnivore diet. Chaffee healed his UC that way. Good luck!
Very interesting, I was diagnosed with Crohns disease in 2001, I was told to follow a low fibre diet which I have done for many years, is it now time to completely change my diet 🤔
Someone please explain what to eat and what not. I can't understand well. Help me please for 6 years daughter please
I hate how everyone contradicts themselves.
I see that Maltodextrin can increase the liklihood to develop Crohns, but if you've already got Crohns does it make symptoms worse or does it not make much difference?
I only created the video from the talk, but my understanding is that it is a question of amount and frequency along with any other contributing factors, and also sensitivity to it. Maltodextrin is added to many ultra processed foods, in which also may have other ingredients that provoke the condition, such as emulsifiers that effect the water/oil transport through the gut lining causing an inflammatory response.
@@Plantairian thank you for your reply
Definitely affects me!! I am experiencing difficulty breathing and causing bloating.
Going dairy-free and choosing leaner meats cured me after 7 years
How u cured
@@SachinKumar-zt6fy no dairy
@@overnightpartsfromjapan01 what medicine or herbal treatment use?
@@SachinKumar-zt6fy none
Which meats
So I wonder if when he said no to fruit juices he was only referring to like bottled juice or was it even like juicing at home fresh as well? I was just diagnosed and I wanted to try juicing for a few weeks with the steroids to reduce inflammation quickly and give my gut rest
Wonder if this Dr. knows in USA our wheat drying process is quicken with Glyphosate? Should wheat be eliminated?
Yes, eliminate wheat, eat whole foods instead, potatoes or sweet potatoes
Its revelant to notice that, the key is to keep low blood sugars and avoid foods your body constantly rejects when you are in inflamatory state, like monkey what avoid being burn by fire you need to make a list worst foods for you and best foods for you
So far as I've gone through the early and painful stages of crohns disease is to avoid: fried food, fatty meats, cured and processed anything with the exception of fruit preserved in its own juice, raw sources of fibre such as just eating a raw broccoli on a ranch tray, cooked vegetables seem fine. Anything corn is just called evil. For some reason suarkrout is always listed as a big no no :(. I won't miss dairy much but everything I've read says to avoid it.
In other words if you cook it yourself with stereotypical wholesome ingredients that are cooked I'll probably be fine. But when I consider I work 60 hour weeks often far from home and the average ingredients list for pre made store bought foods looks like a research paper on artificial sweeteners and preservatives......
This going to be hard
I don't know why whenever I eat fresh tomato my tongue at the tip is peeling off and leave out patched I can't taste food well
May Low fiber diet helpful for chrons patients? Please reply.
Which type of fiber diet can take for chrons !
Hi Pushkar, I put this video together with the help of Dr Desmond and Plant-based Health professionals, but I'm not medically trained myself, so I can't give specific advice, but you could try contacting them yourself. Fibre comes in many forms, soluble and insoluble. The fibre the Dr talks about at 10m10s is from broccoli and plantains. so they tend to be plants sources that have soothing mucilaginous content.
My gastroenterologist put me on a ' Low Residue Diet' which is a low fibre diet. If you look for that on the internet it may bring up something that's useful for you..consult your doctor first before making any changes though!
I was just diagnosed 3 days ago…..Please give me some definite No No’s !!!
Reach out to Dr folonsho, he can help you too, he is a herbal doctor, who deals on plants and natural treatment, he healed my husband from chrons disease, he can help you too.

@@harleyadam8787 Can you tell me please, Which herbs did your husband take?

Use ghee or olive oil instead of plant based margarines that contain hydrogenated oils/soybeans. Juices contain soybean preservatives.
Mayo contains no soy protein. Some salad dressing use emulsifiers made from soybeans. Commercially baked breads, buns etc have soy bean preservatives.
What about legumes?
What if you have a stricture and you can’t eat plant based?
Eating foods that cause inflammation to the membrane, could lead to more problems in the future. A patient that has had some of their bowel removed, might need to include more "green smoothies" in their diet, as they are more "pre-digested" and so easier to absorb.
I would recommend that they talk to a plant-based doctor, like Dr A Desmond, who specialises in Chron's and Colitis
I've had a similar question... I don't currently have a stricture but as with most people that I know that have Crohn's - how do you eat all this veg when your body just rejects it and sends it straight through? Any veg aside from sweet potatoes runs right through me causing extreme pain and urgency. I'm going to try starting with well cooked and peeled mashed veg (carrots and maybe zucchini - tried cooked spinach, not a good time), and green smoothies as recommended.
If you have strictures you will need surgery down the road, I had surgery, it turned my life around.
In 2023 it's not yet very conclusive if a plant diet is really helping crohn's disease. However having a healthy diet without too much processed foods and meats is good nonetheless!
This stresses me out because I’ve been vegan my whole life. I eat fairly healthy, thought I could cut out processed food, but I’m still constantly in a flare up. I feel like I need to do an allergy test or something? Or find a nutritionist? But insurance doesn’t cover it 😔 it’s the struggle
Same here. I'm vegan, and always have active symptoms. Though I don't take any meds.
I'm sorry to hear that. I think the aim of this presentation by Alan is to help most people, but sadly not all. However it may slow progression of disease, that is commonly brought on by our modern diet. You could try plantbasedhealthonline.com/services . PBHP hosted this talk and they are great people. You could also try a food diary and see if there is any pattern. Olive oil is seen as good for the gut by some, but along with other oils, inflammatory to others. Then I've also had conversations with a guy who ate raw food for years, he struggled with beans and pulses, which for me is my staple. He found lighter coloured beans and adding baking soda in the cooking helped manage it better. I hope you find your way to remission
This is a link to Andrew Perlot's experience and experimentation in his own colitis www.youtube.com/watch/TUOXxJYrxPI There is a whole playlist to more videos in the description. I like him, and he's not trying to push anything. So I value his insight.
Pay attention to your Omega 6 intake. Lots of nuts, seeds, fruits, even some veggies are high in omega 6- which is pro-inflammatory!! For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I'd get so sick after eating an apple with almond butter! This is why! Omega 3 should an equal ratio to omega 6 whenever possible, or just eliminate the foods high in omega 6 altogether, and load up on food higher on the omega 3 index-chances are they will have some omega 6 in them so you won't be totally depleted of it. Plenty of research has been done on this if you just Google it, it's helped me tremendously. I'm pescatarian, sugar and gluten free.
@@ladym.9268 Have you noticed something provoking flare ups? Stress? Do you use enough D3, B12 and iodine? Is there emulsifiers in your diet?
I got diagnosed 4 years ago, went vegetarian and then pescetarian for 3 and a half years. Had no symptoms whatsoever and was on pentasa only. Started eating meat again 5 months ago and got my first post-diagnosis flare up last month. It’s still going strong and have been hospitalized twice. Really starting to suspect the meat as the cause, in combination with other less than great foods. Will revert back to vegetarianism for sure, super psyched

hi how many month you take a pentasa?
All meats are inflammatory. I'm doing some research on this first myself as well. Plant based is best.
When you started eating meat again, specifically what kind of meat did you start eating again? Also, did you re-introduce some other food into your diet along with the meat?
Im having crohns 8 years nowno symptoms at allbut still in diarrhea I loose my weight
Microbial enzymes in some cheeses can mean that the cheese contains soybeans.

Something is non right in this dissertation. He says that nutritional substitutes like Modulen have been used with success, because they do not have most of the stuff discussed. But if you look at the specifications of Modulen you ll see it contains mostly milk protein, milk fat along whit soy lecithin and other stuff. So? Is he lying?
I was confused by that too - my son couldn't tolerate it at all because of the dairy, which the doctor said was broken down enough not to cause a problem, but it made him really ill.
I have Crohn's disease, a couple of years ago I did vegeterian diet but I didn't feel much better. Did I do something wrong? Don't know. Everyone wants to believe in a possible way to a cure or full remission. I myself still searching for something. Some say it's vegetarian, others say you have to be gluten free, and others say dairy and homeopathic....
The importance I got from this is fiber is needed, from fruit and vegetables. Not everyone is cut out for vegan diets, some of which protein from vegetable sources are much harder to digest. I personally have hard time digesting protein anyways from not making enough pepsin, eggs saved me at one point. For me no wheat(minor wheat allergy not gluten), limited rice(spikes blood sugar), those are empty calories anyways, potatoes at least give me potassium. Extra virgin olive oil for everything. No coffee, the bowel speed up causes havoc.
I take at least 4 fish oil pills a day, at least Now brand or better(think I got some heavily oxidized off brand ones made me worse). I eat eggs, chicken, beef(literally crave beef sometimes), turkey. Apples, kiwis, onions(can be a trigger), carrots, broccoli, peppers. Tea, chamomile, spices. Ton of vitamin c upto 3000mg a day, not all at once.
Start with things you know won’t bother you…and slowly branch out. Can’t remember write things down, even though I do remember I should write things down.
I think reducing amout of red meat (beef & pork) might help eliminating your symptoms.
Many GI doctors say eating seafood and fish, garlic, onion, beans, banana, apple(Do not remove skin of apple), broccoli, leafy vegetables....etc. FEEDS GOOD BACTERIA in GI tract.
Many studies show that eating sugar feeds bad bacteria in GI tract. Sugar is FOOD for bad bacteria and cancer. Be careful with many hidden food additives and sweeteners such as Maltodextrin and emulsifiers which can cause leaky gut. Many doctors said leaky gut can cause Crohn and other disease. Please watch 'Secrets of Sugar (CBC News)'. I hope this helps you a lot.

@@jasonmajere2165 a year as past since I wrote that message. I cut on Glúten and diary and also red meat. 2 months and felling better
Mostly I have a bacteria overgrowth problem along with liver problem. Not even sure I have actual Crohn's as in my body attacks itself. Just major inflammation problems. And talking with my parents diets as kids and problems they had with diet. Father ate potatoes with every meal. Potatoes are a daily must for me. Along with enough salt, salt helps immune system get rid of infections body collects salt around wound sites(studies about this). But its drilled into our heads salt is bad for you. Which our diet doesn't have enough potassium that counters the salt. Only way to really correct overgrowth is to sweat it out or drugs. As the internal system to get rid of things is overwhelmed, along with not enough magnesium.
Vitamin C, is more than just ascorbic acid. That is just what we labeled as vitamin C. Drinking oj has major affects on immune as I'm getting all the other things I'm missing from taking just pills.
Mother also had liver problems, think brother and sister have some liver problems but it just manifests differently. Where I can't digest protein properly, enough to survive, sure, to thrive not really. Also the excess protein(not digested) is broken down by the overgrowth of bacteria into ammonia which I can't get rid of since I need more protein(arginine into citrulline) to get rid of. Along with deep-fried foods, major inflammation, starches cooked at high temp make acrylamide which breaks down into more ammonia. Ammonia shifts gut flora, causes inflammation, and raises ph which creates a better environment for bad things. Raw ammonia is than injected into poop in the last section of the colon, which is a short-term solution. But when it's done long-term cause all kinds of problems. Peppermint seems to counter ammonia inflammation somewhat, so things can heal.
I seem to need major amounts of antioxidants for the liver especially blue. Turmeric is helpful with inflammation, if I take enough. Chocolate is helpful also, but doesn't seem to help in anyone way.
Since bacteria was such a problem, as it grows fast the body needs to deal with it first. I have yeast problems also, yeast is secondary to the body it seems as it grows slowly. But thrives in the high Ph and low blood flow from inflammation. Now it's just working on getting better. As good days leads to bad days as the body gets rid of things.
Glad you are doing better.
I call bullshit on this video
There’s a high acidity in frights vegs
I need calories. I am already skinny and when I went on a gluten free diet I lost 10 pounds. I dont know how to gain weight on this type of recommended foods.
Google fruits and veggies to gain weight.
What about coffee and tea
My GI Doctor just recommended me to try a Mediterranean diet, he said it helps with Crohn’s.... 😉 yeah right!
So is that a yes
Japanese have increased western foods and introduced other cultures, which are more prone to allergies. Stress and environmental issues will make allergies worse. Weakening your immune system.
I just have to say I have to question cutting out meat, dairy, and eggs. Humans have been eating those things alot longer than crohn's has been around. I would like to see more research into what our changover to seed oils has done. I'm also leary of soy products. My brother told me his brother in law who he helped on the farm told him soy beans could be left in the wagon in the barn as raccoons and mice didn't bother them, yet we do. That kind of tells me something when animals won't eat something and we use it in alot of products.
Most soy is gmo and a bean which can have a lot of anti nutrients. Sometimes that helpful sometimes not. Soy and rapeseed are terrible anyways. Before 1920 we didn’t eat any N-6, we ate lard. Crisco was made to look like lard. But with current practices of how we feed and treat pigs I wouldn’t eat it. Great CZcams channel is “what I’ve learned”. What i got from this is the importance of fiber, but it can also make you constipated. Vegetable help clear thing out, protein helps build things up. Instead of juice have the fruit with the fiber. Fiber feeds the good bacteria, as most crohns have problems with mono cultures when you suppose to have a variety of bacteria. Just started using Culturelle IBS complete support, has complex sugars that are in breast milk that humans can’t break down it’s meant for growing good bacteria in babies.
Lactobacillus reuteri probiotic and saccharomyces boulerdii probiotic very good for chrones
Thanks. Can you please share the brand which contains these two probiotics.

Thanks I know I have had it for 40 years and I have had the best Dr who’s retired and ugh a new dr well he doesn’t understand what issues are actually going on. I have used steroids, and other drugs and I don’t know how I will be able to get help with new dr I see him 15 minutes and then he looks puzzled when I describe issues and I don’t like that at all . I eat small bit s of food and I don’t eat other people s food anymore and I had fiber lol it laughed at me . I just keep trying to figure it out eat less no fiber! I have nausea and must have something to be able to smell the food allergies to food s are just beyond belief. I eat what I know want make me sick no preservatives plain food! No dairy , very able to stand potatoes with real butter! Breads No! So everything you need to thrive I can’t tolerate cramps and other issues I would rather not dis gust. I don’t eat salad’s I have never been able to tolerate. Your telling me what I have learned on my own! Thanks I just ask for steroids if bleeding and can’t gain weight at 5 ft 9 I weighed 112 lbs and that’s trouble I have did everything and I have finally used most of my own issues and I never eat meat! Thanks I just keep praying for the wisdom to figure it out and I seem to have had a wonderful dr for almost 40 years and now I have one that just doesn’t say much about it and doesn’t have any answers and doesn’t understand what I have at all. I have all these diseases that are not easy to work with and I try to make him understand but he just can’t grasp the situation. Thanks I pray for you all who suffer use your own intuition to help your self and listen to your dr as some of you don’t heal in between flares but you know how food effects you you can see that you are in control of your body and food that upsets you worse face it we don’t Obsorb anything the way we should my allergies are horrible so I just avoid it.Take care.
I like how you are promoting plant based diet. But does that mean wheat is ok to consume for kids with Crohns. I include bread, rice and oats as source of carbs along with non cruciferous vegetables.
What about maltodextrin in Modulen IBD?
not sure about the maltodextrin, but i just looked up modulen (trying to find foods for my bf to eat while in a flare up) and their website says it is casein based which is a dairy derivative. so personally I would not purchase that product.
Soybeans, rapeseed? Those are N-6 fats highly processed and terrible.
I personally have problems with my body making pepsin and breaking down protein. Only thing that saved me is eggs. Other than pea protein and chick peas, other things as protein sources is extremely hard to digest, you get something like 20% from wheat.
Eliminate processed foods and sugar from your diet, keto/carnivore has helped me greatly.

EAT FIVER says a guy who never had a bowel obstruction.
The only reason the plant based diet works in the first place is because it is one of many slow and inefficient ways to restore the gut microbiome.
From what I've seen and personally experienced animal proteins do not cause any problem whatsoever provided you have enough fruits and vegetables in your diet, though vegetable oils and most food additives are complete rubbish and should be avoided if at all possible.
Eating a good amount of fruits and vegetable while also consuming things high in probiotics like Milk Kefir would do the same thing as a plant based diet much faster while also offering some natural anti-inflammatory benefits.

Why can't you eat seeds and nuts? They are good healthy food sources, so long as you don't have a particular food allergy to them.
Commercially roasted nuts and seeds are often roasted with hydrogenated soybean oil which is a allergen.
ANd quite a few people get remission via meat only but zero metnion of those studies.
