Ken BerryHOST
But I would suspect that initially Homer, in his practice, was not aware of a proper human diet or the power of diet.
Ken BerryHOST
He probably had a patient or two who came in and said, "You know, I'm eating keto, and I've reversed my type 2 diabetes," or, "I'm eating carnivore, and my Crohn's disease is completely in remission." And the first patient that said that, he was like, "That's weird." But what, then the second, the fifth, the 10th, the 20th, and then Homer Googled it, and he started reading, and he's like, "Lo and behold, there's lots of research about eating a very low-carb diet.
Ken BerryHOST
Huh, I think I'm gonna try it myself." This is the typical story of most doctors who are now, uh, aware of the power of a proper human diet.
Ken BerryHOST
They try it for themselves, their health improves, and then they're like, "I'm gonna start recommending this to my patients with the worst type 2 diabetes and the, the worst severe obesity.

Ken BerryHOST
All right, guys.
Ken BerryHOST
Um, I've got just a few more minutes here.
Ken BerryHOST
Shabo, son, 17, Calpro is 670, diagnosed with Crohn's.
Ken BerryHOST
Doctor pushing biologics, I keep pushing back.
Damien FahyHOST
And as a result of me thinking about life and what I want from life in the future, it's made me start to reflect on how I am saving money or what I'm doing with my finances.
Damien FahyHOST
And there's a couple of stories that I tell on Threads recently, and one of them that's always stuck with me, I remember when I was very unwell with Crohn's, so it's one of the times I had, uh, part of my bowel removed.
Damien FahyHOST
It was the second time I think I had an operation and my, part of my bowel removed.
Damien FahyHOST
And I always remember I was sitting in the hospital bed, and there was an older guy opposite me, and he was...
speaker_4HOST
And the systemic reflections don't stop at the blood.
speaker_4HOST
The textbook dives into gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders too, like Crohn's disease, which most people strictly associate with the intestines.
speaker_5HOST
Right.
speaker_5HOST
But the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract begins at the lips.
speaker_5HOST
In a patient with Crohn's, that deep granulomatous inflammation can present orally as a distinct cobblestoning effect on the buccal mucosa.
speaker_4HOST
Along with a lobular swollen appearance of the tongue, right?
speaker_5HOST
Right.
Chanchal CabreraGUEST
So colic is spasms of the lower gut, the colon.
Chanchal CabreraGUEST
So I use it as an antispasmodic in bowel conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's where there's a lot of spasming and pain and urgency of bowel movement.
Chanchal CabreraGUEST
I use wild yam for that.
Chanchal CabreraGUEST
And I use it for its anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxing properties as a rheumatism root.
DougGUEST
to navigate the world by ship, and I got very close to dying in Ghana, near life experience.
DougGUEST
Later, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, but have come to full remission from that through an introduction to the law of attraction.
DougGUEST
About a year later of coming into remission through my research and whatnot, I was diagnosed with yet another conditional arthritis, How do I better maintain alignment despite the face of physical pain? So, at one point, it was a roar, but through the practice of the law of attraction, it's become but a whisper that's not even there at times.
DougGUEST
I mean, it's been remarkable.
Abraham HicksHOST
Different faces, different places, but the same basic experience over and over again.
Abraham HicksHOST
You see what we're getting at?
DougGUEST
So, to follow that up a little bit, after I had initially been diagnosed with Crohn's, I came into great health.
DougGUEST
I was able to really get it back.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
I don't like getting the flu, but I got the flu.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
You know, I had Crohn's, still have Crohn's.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
But I would go in and out of a lot of flares when I was younger.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
It's one of the advantages of getting older is that Crohn's usually calms down a bit.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
But it would knock me out of my life for days at a time.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
And I had no control over it.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
Now, I'd been doing lots of practice before I got diagnosed with Crohn's, so I already had cultivated an attitude, and I think this was grace, that I could meet these times without going into severe judgment and feeling I was worthless or something was wrong with me.
Jeffrey RutsteinHOST
It became really clear to me that this is my body's way of saying it needed to do nothing, it needed to eat nothing, and and not do anything for several days so the body could repair.
Josh DechHOST
I'm like a cave troll.
Josh DechHOST
I specialize in Crohn's and colitis.
Josh DechHOST
And 75 years ago, 100 years ago...
Josh DechHOST
Most people have never even heard of the disease at all, and it never existed in kids until give or take 40s, 30s, 50s.
Josh DechHOST
It started popping up a little bit, and it was this really fringe thing.
Josh DechHOST
It wasn't even inside of a medical textbook.
Josh DechHOST
Today, we are on track for about 1 in 100 North Americans to experience Crohn's or colitis in their lifetime, and 10% to 15% of them are children.
Josh DechHOST
So largely speaking, we've seen up to a 50,000% increase in the prevalence of bowel diseases.
Danielle LefflerHOST
Welcome to the Gut Feelings Podcast.
Danielle LefflerHOST
We are the Crohn's and
Ashley HurstHOST
Colitis Dietitians.
Ashley HurstHOST
Let's go! You know what's something I have never really understood when it comes to IBD is that some people think that nutrition isn't a good idea when they're in a flare.

Danielle LefflerHOST
What you need to watch for, what we might want to monitor or test.
Danielle LefflerHOST
Those are all things we want to look at.
Danielle LefflerHOST
And like your ileum, for example, in Crohn's, most Crohn's starts in the ileum and your B vitamins, your iron, those are things we want to look at.
Danielle LefflerHOST
But it doesn't necessarily mean that someone with ulcerative colitis or microscopic colitis might not have those same nutrient deficiencies.
Michael MorelliGUEST
So I just kind of fell away.
Michael MorelliGUEST

Michael MorelliGUEST
And for the first time, like girls were a little bit interested in dating me.
Michael MorelliGUEST
So I just kind of fell away.
Michael MorelliGUEST
But I came home from my first year of undergraduate and was diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
Michael MorelliGUEST
Crohn's disease is an autoimmune condition where white blood cells attack your digestive system, even though there's nothing wrong with your digestive system.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
So if you don't have lung cancer, you can be a control for me.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
Maybe you have Crohn's in your family.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
I can be a control for you.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
So we are actually literally all in this together.
6 MINS LATER
Anne WojcickiGUEST
Like I can look at the cousins, like my kids and all the others.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
And I can say, OK, who is it who genetically is likely to have celiac issues? Who? And then you can test people proactively for that.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
You know, we had Crohn's in the family.
Anne WojcickiGUEST
So I can look at also genetic markers associated with that and say, OK, who is it? Who likely if there's is GI issues, then it becomes a flag.
