I am so grateful to you! I have newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis that put me in the hospital for 6 days. Not one Healthcare professional has given me the info you have. I have been studying this disease the last few days and have made clumsy attempts to eat correctly. The left lower abdominal pain comes and goes, but the diarrhea and weakness are relentless. I saw this particular video you put out and learned so much, because you understand! I just wanted to thank and encourage you for making me more aware and less frightened of all the changes necessary to keep the inflammation at bay.

I was diagnosed with UC literally yesterday :( I know a couple family members with it but they do not lead healthy lives and I don’t want to end up like that.

Very excited I found your video. I’ve recently been diagnosed with UC after I had my first flare (praying my last). Before then I never had any issues with my digestive system so I thought. I was able to eat anything with out irrigation or diarrhea. I didn’t have diarrhea ever before my flare. Anyway, I’m currently on Humira and all though it’s working my goal is to really be off of it. I’m going to try to follow all your advice 🙏🏽

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Good video. Questions and Considerations: 1. Food combining: eg, proteins with dairy, fruit with vegetables. Fruit should be consumed on an empty stomach, especially apples, before a meal, not after. Water should be drunk before meals, not after. 2. Kefir: not if you're dairy intolerant. What do you suggest as the/an alternative, eg. water for shakes, ? 3. Animal protein: organic. Must consider what the animal was eating, eg. grains, antibiotics 4. Coconut oil: what if you're allergic to nuts? What do you suggest as an alternative? 5. White rice: good for diarrhea, but what if the problem is blockage/constipation (Crohn's)? Do you then suggest brown rice?

Because of a reply to my comment 3 years after I wrote it I decided to come back, and rewatch this video,and WOW I remembered when this was all mumble jumbo to me. My son had just been diagnosed with UC and I didn't know a thing about any of it. I was terrified because he was deathly ill. He did end up hospitalized for a few days because the meds weren't working. After literally months of walking around sobbing I took a paid for crash course and gained control with natural foods and supplements when needed. In a year I got him into full remission that lasted two years. Kenny thank you from the bottom of my mommy heart, because what I couldn't understand back then and was mumble jumbo was exactly some of what I did that got him into remission. Took me some time to understand the language of UC. Now that I understand, it's some of the best info out there 💕

I admire the amount of study you've put into this to heal yourself and help others. I've not really had a smooth run of remission in months now. I have UC and Crohns. I'm finding it hard to eat anything, really. I though I was getting better doing the organic kefir, low fibre and fish. Then one stressful day at work and it's all down the spout. I exercise as my body allows, mostly walking and resistance training. I find anything weight-bearing on my wrists very difficult. Push ups are a no no now as its not worth not being able to use my hands. Is there anything you do to help with the joint pain? I'm probably a bit underweight so I want to help my bones too.

[@texasnativegirl1836]

Y'all - after eating only what I could (like plain bagels, chicken, tuna, plain sourdough English muffins) I finally ate grass-fed plain beef patties (one for dinner every night). Then I got brave enough to try kefir (like 1/2 a cup to start with) and it worked!!! I just used the Lifeway plain kefir. I blend it with 2 organic peach cups from the grocery store and water. I have half then and half later in the day. Everyone is different - like I couldn't eat rice at first. Still haven't tried it again yet. In all, it took me about 4 - 4.5 months to be mostly okay again. Don't give up! (Edit: I also tried bananas. They don't sit well with me. Frozen blueberries and strawberries with kefir and water are okay. I can even eat nuts now!)

I do know that certain resistant starches are fantastic for the gut microbiome. Thanks for the tip, will have to look further into it. 👊🏻

[@olly6331]

The same was also said of mashed potato, however with potato it said after the cooling process it should not be re-heated & eaten cold for optimal resistant starch. I’ll see how it goes down in the next couple of weeks, if you find anything interesting be sure to let me know! Cheers

[@zaidkhan3537]

Resistant starch is a very good way to consume starches for people who have Ulcerative Colitis because it is a great prebiotic for the 'good guys' in the colon; i.e. the beneficial bacteria. Many people who are in a bad flare might not be able to tolerate any sort of starches but for people who's symptoms are better, resistant starch is a very good way of getting food to the beneficial bacteria in the colon.

Thanks for posting this. I am excited to listen through! I have had intermittent and various digestive issues since taking anti-fungals in 2015. I do not know what triggered it otherwise (maybe cumulative factors). I have had mostly upper GI issues + constipation (diarrhea - & Severe gas pain was 2016 only). But I am realizing that what I did know is not being applied properly if its not helping me. I started cabbage juice due to GERD & chronic stomach pain and I feel SO much better after 10 days. (Thanks to your videos). Its def debloated my lower GI, too. I know that I have to be careful for the long run, so here begins my research. P.s. Exercise (especially engaging and then stretching diaphragm) has been helpful. My core/posture was weak which def contributed to indigestion.

[@jklhkjdag]

Hi Kenny great video man!!! Couple things though: turmeric's awesome anti-inflammatory properties need to be accompanied by black pepper. I think just adding a little bit to the rice will greatly enhance the absorption of it's properties. Also, the rice would be better washed and soaked before cooking as it greatly reduces the excessive starch content. Our saliva breaks down this starch and most people I know don't chew their rice properly and thus cause excessive undigested starch to enter the gut! Thanks for all the free info bro love what you are doing.

[@aliesmaili683]

Yes absolutely hopefully everybody will see this

Another inspiring and interesting video Kenny, thank you. What are your thoughts on including high quality eggs in the healing phase?

[@team_honnas]

Great question. I know Jordan Rubin ate eggs during his healing process. I didn't eat them much while I was healing personally. I've been learning that the sulfur content in eggs could potentially negatively impact gut health. I'm not certain of this, but it is something to think about. It's very interesting to me because cabbage juice also contains a lot of sulfur but it was wonderful for my gut. I've also heard that the plant based sulfur has different effects than animal based sulfur. All that to say, I'm really not sure. I would suspect that moderate consumption of eggs would probably be okay, but I can't say for sure. I eat them now that I'm healed and have no issues with them whatsoever. Might be a bit of a trial and error thing. I'll look more into this and perhaps devote an entire video to it.

[@davidkeating_hfg]

Hi Kenny, thank you for posting another terrific video. Extremely informative, useful and honest. I am wondering if a future video topic for you may look into how specific food types should be prioritised when trying to heal from IBD based on their specific molecular properties. For example, there are a number of studies which show the consumption of walnuts reduce colon cancer recurrence by ~40%, this is largely down to the production of butyrate. Additionally, compounds called elligitanins found in berries and pomegranate have been found to be highly bioactive against inflammation. This is specifically useful for IBD as these molecules are poorly absorbed meaning they act primarily in the GI tract. Let me know your thoughts on this and I’m happy to point you in the direction of a number of studies if of interest. Thanks, David

[@team_honnas]

Hi David, that is an absolutely awesome idea. I would absolutely love to take a deep dive into that subject material and explore it in a few videos. I'm currently taking a bit of a hiatus from KZbin for the next few months so that I can focus on some other things I'm working on, but will definitely want to look into this sometime in May.

I've been following much of your protocol for a few months now in preparation to ween off the meds for my UC. I've also looked at some of the things Mike (HYGG) and Jordan Rubin have put out there. You guys overlap in many areas, but I was curious about your stance on potatoes and white rice regarding their starch content. I know Jordan Rubin is very against starches. In your view, are the prebiotic properties in the potatoes and rice outweighing the issues with starch? I ask because I've really been enjoying the potatoes and rice. I'm looking for a few more food options and was wondering what your thoughts were on beans (specifically kidney, lima, chickpeas, and green peas), steel cut oats, and asparagus. I've read they all have great prebiotic qualities, but are they okay for those for those with IBD? Thank you again for all of these videos.

[@MadMallory]

Thank you for this video! Mostly everything i've been doing matches up with what you advise! I definitely agree with the water, I healed an ulcer last year mainly with cabbage juice and bone broth, incorporated some fermented veggies and avoided gluten and dairy and healed myself. When I thought I was in the clear I stopped eating fermented veggies - got cheap and was drinking fountain water from work...BIG mistake, I also started to eat bagels with cream cheese, which gave me a lovely ulcer in my intestines again! Ugh. At least I knew what to do to heal it, but mad at myself for not keeping up with the healthy lifestyle. Another thing I stumbled upon is Blood Type Diet, i'm an O+ and it said that my blood type is prone to ulcers...this made a lot of sense since it also said that I should be avoiding wheat and dairy and mostly eating meat and veggies. Since I was a vegetarian most of my life - I clearly messed myself up. Now i'm eating grass fed Beef, wild caught Salmon and more fermented veggies while drinking filtered water (FIJI's my fave) and am starting to feel SO much better, not only with my ulcer but mentally as well.

Hey Kenny, do you make your kefir or do you buy it from the store. Thanks

I actually was really spoiled and was able to buy my kefir from a raw dairy that made their own kefir in-house. I typically think it's better to make your own kefir unless you know the people who make it and trust them/their process. However, if you can find a good brand at a store that you're pretty confident in, that might work as well. I'm typically just wary of store bought health foods in general.

And do you eat pasta with sauce or am I better off giving it flavor with squeezed lemon? Or should I eat pasta at all? I'm just wondering how strict the diet needs to be for dinnertime. I love vegetables so that won't be a problem but it may be difficult for me to eat them plain! I am looking forward to hearing from you!

[@ericsmith316]

I agree with everything in this video. I have two comments of feedback. I know this video is about IBD, but I think it might be good to include info about other digestive issues to clear up while also tackling IBD. For example, I'm not sure how common this is, but when I was hit with UC, I could not do starches; any rice or potatoes destroyed me, and I had to avoid them for a good while. You did address this in the video by saying people need to use their own judgement on what works for them. Depending on how commonly you have seen your clients / others have other digestive issues along with IBD, I think it could be good to address this in a video. My other comment includes more personal opinion. It seems like you are using modern / recent research + your experience to develop your ideas of what foods (and other lifestyle aspects) are good for IBD. Personally, I see your ideas slowly going toward eating foods how they were traditionally prepared (HYGG's approach). This is from seeing that you now recommend peeling potatoes after cooking, the traditional preparation of potatoes, and allowing meat at all phases of healing, which is traditionally a prized food because it provides necessary nutrition. I think this should get more attention, because the traditional preparation of foods was meant to make foods become as easy to digest as possible. I just honestly think that, inevitably, all of your studying will get you to this approach of eating foods how they were traditionally prepared. This approach / mindset is what has helped me the most with healing.

[@team_honnas]

Thanks Eric, Yes, I will definitely go more in depth about the need for people to use their own judgement depending on where they're at. I wish everything could be solved with a "one-size-fits-all" approach, but, like you said, there is so much individual variability that it makes such an approach basically impossible. As for your second comment, yes I prefer modern research, but am also very interested in learning more about ancestral/traditional food preparation. Mike is definitely been a big source of inspiration in that regard. My goal is to blend modern science with ancestral wisdom as I continue to learn more from both areas of study. Will definitely address both areas in future content. Thanks for the support, and glad you're healthy! God bless

Kenny do you recommend eliminating smoothies in a flare? And have you done any research on Chinese herbs that stopped bleeding? My natural path doctor recommends that I try one.

[@team_honnas]

Hi Ryan, that's a great question. In the video I talked about certain people not handling high amounts of prebiotic soluble fiber (like the kind in my smoothies) very well while flaring. For that, I recommend going a little lower in fiber at first and then slowly building up the amount of prebiotic soluble fiber intake. It's really about balancing tolerability with progress. Some people, even while flaring, can handle the smoothies pretty well. If that's the case, then I think it's better to incorporate them sooner since they're very good for the gut microbiome. But, again, it all depends on if you can tolerate that amount of fiber. It's a little bit of trial and error and making informed decisions. If you want to be as safe as possible, maybe try the lower fiber approach to decrease the inflammation for a week or so, and then see if you can slowly transition to the smoothies. Hope that helps!

[@Mcw1817_]

I was curious on what your thoughts are about the hypothesis that starchy carbohydrates (Like rice & potatoes) help feed pathogenic & inflammatory bacteria in the gut microbiome. I know many diets tailored to IBD focus on limiting the more complex polysaccharides and focus more on directly eating glucose and fructose from prebiotic fruits and vegetables.

[@team_honnas]

I think it's a valid point to bring up for sure. As far as I understand, prebiotic fiber found in fruits and vegetables will still feed the pathogenic microorganisms in the gut the same way that starchy carbs will. Whatever type of microorganism is in highest abundance in the GM at the time, will be the one who benefits the most from the source of prebiotic fiber, whether from starchy carbs or fruits and veggies. BUT, the inclusion of probiotic microorganisms in the diet will hopefully help to correct that balance by competitive exclusion. Consistently consuming probiotics will hopefully lower the amount of pathogens and slowly become the dominant presence within the GM. This then begs the question, why not just consume probiotics and no prebiotics for a time? And then start consuming prebiotics once the ratio has flipped and the probiotics are more abundant than the pathogens? It's a great question that I don't know that I have the best answer for. I know some people who only take probiotics that really don't see much improvement. And I wonder if not including prebiotics decreases the survivability of the probiotics, even though they aren't necessarily the ones who benefit the most from prebiotics at first compared to the pathogens. My hypothesis is that even if pathogenic microorganisms are the most abundant and feed the most off of the prebiotics, it's still important to feed the probiotics with prebiotics so that the probiotics can survive long enough to begin competing with the dominant pathogens. Then over time, the probiotics will abound due to competitive exclusion and begin to benefit from the prebiotics far more than the pathogens, and the GM will return to homeostasis. All that to say, I don't know that it matters so much what type of prebiotics you're consuming, but rather that you're consuming probiotics in addition to the prebiotics. As far as I understand, prebiotics feed all types of microorganisms, good and bad. Hope that helps!

[@Mcw1817_]

Kenny Honnas Thanks for the reply! Really interesting stuff for sure. I know there is lots of research being done on these relationships and specifically for IBD. Prebiotics are always important to get the SCFAs like butyrate and repair gut epithelial cells. I read that there is a new medication in clinical trials, IMU-856, that works to restore the intestinal barrier and tight junctions without impairing the immune system. Could be really promising along with other lifestyle changes for Crohns and Colitis.

Thank you!!!!!

[@team_honnas]

Appreciate the kind words! Eating two meals a day while intermittent fasting is a great tool in my opinion/experience. However, it's not essential to healing. However, depending on what phase you're in, you could bring snacks ranging from a few bananas to an entire meal like some of the ones shown in this video. You could meal prep a chicken breast with steamed squash and white rice and just take that to school with you. Bring either some kefir or fermented vegetables, or just make sure to consume a large amount of kefir/fermented vegetables when you get home. Hope that helps!

[@geldmitflo1843]

additional question, sorry: do you think store bought kefir can be beneficial as well?
