We have reviewed the Other UC Diets & Books. Third, while conducting our research, we tried most known IBD diets to ease colitis symptoms – Vegetarian, Vegan, Forks Over Knives, FODMAP, and Elaine Gotschall’s Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD).
#TOMATO PASTE SUBSTITUTE REDDIT HOW TO#
We have read numerous medical articles on how to reduce the presence of pathogenic bacteria while encouraging the population of good bacteria, as well as research on how to reduce gut inflammation and lower the risk of Colorectal Cancer (CRC). Our American Gut Project mapping showed several types of pathogenic (harmful) gut bacteria.įrom our research, we learned that a person’s diet is able to encourage certain populations of gut bacteria to multiply, while depleting others. In order to learn more, we signed up for the American Gut Project to map out gut bacteria. An excess of pathogenic bacteria may play a role in gut inflammation. While much our our gut bacteria is beneficial, some bacteria may be pathogenic (harmful). Second, while reading extensively from peer-review medical journals, we discovered a large body of scholarship that has been finding links between UC and gut bacteria: “Recent results of genome-wide association studies performed in large cohorts of patients confirmed the previously suggested participation of microbial components in the development of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.” 72 Īs humans, our colon is populated by billions of different bacteria (in totality – known as the microbiota), which help us digest out food. Second, the ND recommended we exclude foods that exacerbate gut inflammation: sugar, tannins (coffee, black tea, red wine, chocolate), sodas (which contain sugar and carbonation), and fried and processed foods. This meant we had to lay off wheat and dairy. First, the ND performed allergy tests for gluten and casein – a protein found in milk – both of which tests showed Phil was allergic. NDs are medical doctors with additional nutritional training. But, together, we were determined to find a way to better manage the symptoms and were open to any solutions.įirst, we consulted a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND). We ate the average Western diet and we were not particularly into healthy foods.
We were very average in our eating habits.
When we met, Phil was just like any other Colitis patient – taking medication and struggling to control symptoms.
