Podcast Episode 301: Ulcers, IBD - Crohn’s, & Fermented Foods

[@sandrabargerhuff6421]

Thanks for the information. I’m just getting over a super strong case of colitis, the cramps were awful, I almost passed out from the pain. I fasted for 4 days to calm my bowl down, when I started eating I started with sauerkraut about a teaspoon I’m up to a tablespoon 2 times a day.

Do you take kefir? Me and my mum suffer with colitis and this fermented food were a life changer for us. Good luck x

Hi what is the difference between buying yogurt and making kefir. I have Crohn's and this episode has made more sense to me. Then anything doctors have ever done. Thank you.

It’s a huge difference. Store bought yogurt has a very limited amount of bacteria strains containing maybe 1-5 different bacteria species and the culture units (CPU’s) maybe around 6 billion (you will see these numbers on probiotic supplements jars) how many different strains and then the total amount of bacteria. Where kefir has 30-100 different bacteria strains and 100-300 billion units. It a big difference. Hope this helps.

What to do if you have histamine intolerance?

Thank you for keeping up with all of the information. I listen to each new broadcast. I notice that you don't ever mention, (that I know of) that you can start Kiefer with store bought plain kiefer by using some in a jar and adding milk. I've been doing this for years, and it works quite well.

Just made my 1st batch of l reuteri yogurt. Turned into cottage cheese and whey. Temp too low? Too high? Its yummy but not what i wanted.

Does water kefir get carbonated

[@NorthDKK]

I get eczema from probiotics :/

[@tinamartin4381]

I've never heard this. I've been having exzema break outs recently and not sure why. Might be detoxing?

Look up Dr Ben Lynch’s Seeking Health probiotics. Bifido and certain strains help reduce histamines. Maybe they can be an option.
