7 Most Important Things I Wish I Knew When I First Got Crohn's disease and Ulcerous colitis.
I have written about this before, but it's worth repeating because it's THE most crucial thing to understand when it comes to IBD. There is not one single thing that will make you go from 0 to 100% healthy. There's not even such a thing as 100%. Take, for instance, fasting. Numerous studies and anecdotal evidence have shown that fasting reduces inflammation. Will that alone do it? No, but it will probably help a tiny bit on the way. Will sleeping well do it? No, but it will help quite a lot. Sleeping. Fasting. Diet and nutrition. Breathing. Living a calm life. Supplements.
