Question 1

Do you have a specific diet for your Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

I have a rigorous diet. I fast a minimum of 16 hours a day, and once a week, I do 24 hours fast. Once every month, I do 48 hour fast, and once a year, I do a five-day fast. I try to eat a salad a day. I drink a green smoothie a day. I never eat dee fried. I work out every day. I eat my own homemade chocolates that I make from raw cacao. I try to avoid gluten, dairy, and sugar as much as possible. I try to eat an apple a day. I eat a fistful of berries.

Question 2

Iron deficiency and Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis

Accepted Answer

I was iron deficient for almost a year before I changed my diet and lifestyle even more. It was great that I got to see the results from my blood work, so I knew I needed to up my game. Iron deficiency seems very common amongst people with Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis.  I was actually depleted of iron and had to go to the hospital several times to get it intravenously. After I realized I was iron deficient, I started fasting more. Most likely, my gut was leaking. After a year of going to the hospital once a month for an iron refill intravenously, my levels were fine, and they are still fine. Make sure you check your iron levels and B12 frequently. I would also suggest you check your stool to measure inflammation.I guess the more inflammation you have, the more you bleed from your intestines, and the more iron you'll lose.

Question 3

What are the early signs of Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

I would say you should watch out for abdominal pain. When you feel your stomach, it means something isn't right. People without problems don't feel their stomachs. So if you find yourself hurting, listen to your body and see what's happening. Exclude certain things and see what makes you feel better or worse. I recommend a food journal. Diarrhea, fever, stomach pain and cramping, blood in your stool, constipation, reduced appetite and weight loss. I also read that people experience exhaustion, joint pain, nausea, and eye redness. If you're experiencing these things, you might want to stop the inflammation before it gets out of control. A healthy stomach is a stomach you don't notice. If you're having problems, deal with their heads on, make adjustments and tackle it before it intensifies.

Question 4

What causes Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

This is a tricky one. I would say it's not just one thing causing Crohn's disease. I will list a few things I think are worsening inflammation.Bad sleep. When you sleep poorly, your body will deteriorate, and you will begin experiencing many different problems.An unhappy, stressed life is perhaps what causes most diseases. I have said it before, but I'll repeat it. Live well. Don't stress. If you're in a bad relationship or hate your job, GET OUT. You need to move away from things that make you feel bad.Wrong diet. I say wrong because it's so individual. But I think everyone with a sensitive stomach should stay away from gluten, large amounts of sugar ( avoid anything that has sugar as the first ingredient.), dairy, deep-fried food—bad oils. SMOKING. I think smoking is awful and f*cks up your immune system.

Question 5

What are the symptoms of Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms can vary. For me, it was constipation, fatigue, and severe stomach pain. After the first surgery, my intestines had clogged up. Every time I ate, I had severe stomach pain. Others experience,diarrheafeverblood in their stoolmouth sores Reduce appetite and weight lossIron deficiency

Question 6

What are the best things to eat for people with Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

Here's a list of things I think are good to eat (for me). I have to point out that you should listen carefully to what your body tells you. Keep a food journal and track when you eat something irritating your stomach.Overnight oats. Salads. I don't know if your stomach can handle these things, but I always put them in my salad: beetroot, carrots, cabbage, kale, quinoa, spinach, and avocado. I like my green smoothie, coconut water, apples, lemon, ginger, turmeric, spinach, and avocado. That's a mineral and vitamin boost for you right there. Add some VSL3 probiotics, and I bet your stomach will thank you. I also love stews with rice. I think eggs are super—organic, grass-fed meat, great.

Question 7

What are the five things I absolutely shouldn't do if I have Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Here is a list of things you shouldn't eat. Don't eat too much or too often. Don't eat too fast. Be mindful about what you eat, how you eat, and how often you eat.

Question 8

Can I get help if I have Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

I'll do my best to help. I have a 3-year-old daughter, and I'm running two companies. I may not always answer immediately, but I will do my best to help you. I have been in your shoes, and if there's any way I can help someone, I will do it.I have been asked to hold courses. When enough people have signed up, I will create a course and invite those who have signed up. Sign up for my newsletter, and I will let you know when it's time to have the course.

Question 9

What is bad for people with Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis to eat?

Accepted Answer

DairyGlutenEating too often and too much. Not chewing Deep fried. Food containing too many sugarsToo many fibers. Raise your fiber-intake SLOWLY. Drink a lot of water and let it take time. It would help if you viewed getting healthier as a lifetime project. I know you feel like being very healthy quickly, but you must let it take time. Too spicy food is something I find challenging as well. Why upset the stomach?

Question 10

Should I take the medicines my doctors describe for Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

I'm not a physician. If the doctors told you to take certain medicines, maybe you can take them AND do the things I suggest to improve your chances of getting well.I think most conventional doctors are clueless about diet and its effects on our bodies. During the two years, I was ill, I asked all my doctors and nurses, "What should I eat. What should I stay away from." They all said the same thing. It doesn't matter what you eat. You have to realize that doctors spend 0 hours studying nutrition. Yes, you read that correctly. They study the human body for five years and nutrition for 0 hours. I KNOW. I'll bet my life nutrition, what you eat, how you eat, how often you eat when you eat, and how the things you eat have been cooked all play a BIG part in how your body feels.

Question 11

What supplements should I take if I have Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

For the stomach and the gut flora, I take a probiotic called VSL3 together with my smoothie. That's usually how I start my day after at least fasting for 16 hours. Your gut biome is extra sensitive after a long fast, so you should start your first meal with something you know your stomach likes.I take B5 for my skin. Everybody says I look way younger than 40, and I think my B5 intake definitely helps. I take a lot of Omega 3. More and more studies show significant benefits for the brain.

Question 12

Is meat good for people with Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis?

Accepted Answer

That's a tough one. It depends on who you are, what your ancestors ate, and what you've eaten so far in your life. I try to avoid industrial meat. It's disgusting how we treat animals. And in the end, when you eat an animal that has lived its whole life stressed and tortured, you will be a part of that entire process. With that said, I eat game meat, dear, elk, and so on. I also buy grinder cow meat from a local producer I trust is taking care of the cows, giving them freedom and a giant grass field to graze.
