Will Fasting Heal The Gut? Ulcerative Colitis Fasting

Will fasting heal the gut? Ulcerative Colitis fasting
In this video I discuss whether or not fasting is beneficial when attempting to heal gut inflammation. I talk about the different forms of fasting, from intermittent to prolonged fasting and give my honest opinion on the subject. I have been a sufferer of Ulcerative Colitis for almost 6 years and in that time have researched and experimented with lots of methods to improve my health. Find out in this video whether I found relief of my chronic symptoms through fasting.

FASTING IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL COMPLETLY PUT MY COLITIS IN REMISSION AND MAKE ME NORMAL AGAIN!!! DO INTERMITTENT FASTING, BASICALLY EAT EVERY 16 HOURS ONLY, OBVIOUSLY EAT HRALTHY FOOD AND NO CAFFEINE AND DRINK WATER ONLY AND SEE THE INCREDIBLE AMAZING RESULTS YOU WILL SEE IN 3 DAYS!!!!!

[@dijonayjones4541]

No meds?

[@biteme-rz3ws]

1.) THE INTESTINAL CELL WALL REGENERATES EVERY 9-10 DAYS. SO GO FOR AN 11 DAY DRY FAST. 2.) BCP-157 INJECTIONS KNOWN AS WOLVERINE FORMULA IS USED TO HEAL THE GUT LINING AT AN ACCELERRATED RATE. 3.) KPV INJECTIONS INHIBIT THE CYTOKINES FROM CAUSING INFLAMMATION WITHIN THE GUT. THESE ARE A MORE EFFECTIVE AND SAFER FORM OF BIOLOGIC INFUSION INECTIONS 4.) ONCE YOU GO BACK TO EATING AND DRINKING I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND THE RAW ORGANIC GRASS FED 4 DAY ROTATIONAL CARNIVORE DIET. I HAD THE MOST SEVERE ULCERATIVE COLITIS AND LEAKY GUT EVER SEEN BY MY DOCTORS AND THEY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE THREW A GRENADE UP MY ASS. GO FOR ORGAN MEATS, SALMON AND SHELL FISH FOR HIGH NUTRIENT DENSE PROTEIN. YOU DON'T NEED MUCH PROTEIN (0.5G-0.7G PER LEAN LBS OF BODY MASS). BUY FROM AMISH FARMS FOR THE BEST QUALITY. 5.) REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER FOR PURE H2O. ONCE YOUR STOOL HAS NORMALIZED FOR ABOUT A MONTH IT'S SAFE TO START TRYING THINGS LIKE FRUIT, SWEET POTATOES, AND SQUASH. MAKE SURE TO EAT MONO MEALS OF ONE FRUIT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. NEVER MIX CARBS WITH YOU MEATS. AD

how are u now

[@mariusfx9916]

Thanks, good info. Yeah, fasting can be a double-edged sword. In my experience, one needs to be properly nourished to undergo a successful prolonged fast. In my ignorant vegan days, I felt absolutely awful trying to fast longer than 48 hours. Now I do 72's and 96's easily while training hard and going through my normal activities. Before a fast I eat a lot of nutrient dense foods, like liver and oily fish. It makes all the difference for me. And I would not recommend longer fasts (more than 7 days) unless one already has experience with 2-7 day fasts. After the 7 to 10 day mark there is a shift in the body, and for many continuing the fast can do a lot more harm than good. My hypothesis is that the microbiome starts to suffer and that the nutrient reserves get depleted. IMO, if one is sick and wants to use fasting to heal, it's better to do a 3 to 5 day fast, then renourish the body with nutrient dense foods for about the same time as the fast before repeating the process. Cheers man:)

This is the best KZbin video I came across on this subject. Very well done and straight to the point.

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words John!

[@BigMikesAMan]

I have been fighting MS for about 14 yrs. I have been eating nothing but meat and eggs since Jan. 1. I fast no less than 20 hrs a day and 44 hrs straight, after 2 eating days. I eat grass fed products raw & store bought meat and organs cooked and pink salt on everything. I have been dreaming & sleeping great. My mood and energy is changing. I eat lot of grass fed butter and eggs.

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Amazing to hear this mate, thanks so much for sharing, unfortunately intermittent fasting and the meat diet hasn't had the same impacts on my condition just yet, willing to give it a little more time though :)

Thanks man, steak and sauerkraut for breakfast again this morning! Haven't given up sugar totally yet, but feeling so much more energised having 2 meals a day.

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Awesome sounding breakfast mate, it's beef and butter for me every morning! What are you eating to manage to stick to 2 meals a day?

[@JoeHudsonSoundDesign]

@@ChrisGascoigne1 Finding it pretty easy tbh, Not much else, Im in the middle of a flare so its not hard to find determination.

[@Apricot90]

Aren't the meats and proteins too scratchy for the wounded gut?

[@JoeHudsonSoundDesign]

@@Apricot90 Nah not really, flesh and flesh dont really abrase each other, besides, if you chew properly, your stomach acid will dissolve meat quite easily. Its the undigested things you see in your dump that you need to be worrried about. sweetcorn, nuts, tomatoe skins, also sugar is a big one. If it rots your teeth and causes gum disease imagine what its doing to your gut.

[@Apricot90]

@@JoeHudsonSoundDesign Thank you very much, that gives me hope! I don't understand why I can't digest blue berries and olives tho.. They are very keto friendly but I can't eat them:( Organic eggs make me gassy too and it's painful..

[@tracylynnaz9066]

Really great vid. I do two meals a day and it helps but would love to do one maybe every other day. I’m have IBS and have been in carnivore. I still cannot regulate my system.

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Thanks so much Tracy! I know it's hard to get a level platform following the carnivore diet, you want to try OMAD, but it's difficult cramming all those calories into your stomach at once

[@tomzxd6128]

just today I decided to start this route...the drugs for my ulcerative colitis don't working..how are you now?

[@OP-lk4tw]

updates?

[@tomzxd6128]

​@@OP-lk4tw I stopped intermittent fasting after a month because I was too underweight, I've had improvements but now I'm doing a vegetarian diet three meals a day and I'm improving even more😊

[@OP-lk4tw]

@@tomzxd6128 good for you, i can't even look at veggies without inflammation so vegan would be death for me, but i'm not even diagnosed yet, so maybe i have ibs or something else

[@mello.b3373]

2:34 - not really, depends on how fat you are. If you have some or a lot of fat on you, you are not really starving. To be more precise, it is impossible to starve when you are fat or obese. 3:20 - this can't be further from the truth. When you are fasting, your body is using its own reserves or will break down protein and fat to get vitamins and minerals. This is exactly why people who fasted for 30+ days have no deficiencies shown in the blood. 3:30 - or there are people who have more reserves and body fat than others. If you are fat you can fast longer without side effects, if you are skinny you can't do that.

[@MaeJyK]

what is the fecal measurement u mentioned as a marker of inflammation?

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Do you mean Faecal Calprotectin James?

Hello i am diagnosed with gastritis can doing water fasting for a week or more than 72 hours will help me to heal my gastritis

[@sameddonater]

Hello sorry for the late answer. I also have gastritis type C. I had nasty symptoms and pain. I ve done a three day fast and the symptoms diminished. For 2 months I had no symptoms or any pain But unfortunately I begun to eat everything I wanted and my symptoms came back. It will not heal it 100% but it will really really help you

[@misssheilalev]

@@sameddonaterhow are you doing now? I can’t believe how long gastritis can go on. I just want this to end!

[@sameddonater]

@@misssheilalev I have no symptoms for about 1 year now .. 3 days of fast helped me very much . I continue do it every third month. After doing BJJ& Wrestling I am able to eat whatever I want.

[@adamoto1927]

I think you should look at the results of people who have done long fasts rather than share your opinion on something you haven't even tried. Body fat is food. Look at vegetable police's long fast at his lean body weight, no issues and he remained muscle sparing, he only messed up due to going plain water and his refeed. You prefaced this with how its your opinion and that's fine but you are talking about something you know nothing about, its just speculation, do some research. I used to think the exact same thing as you do, fear of deficiencies and muscle loss especially being lean, but I went ahead and tried it and my psoriasis started healing after 3 days and I retained my muscle. You shouldn't deter people away from the amazing benefits of prolonged fast, you just need to be smart before going into it and get your salts.

[@comingforya3123]

[@marcusgorfer386]

"water is going to flush out your electrolytes" In fact water supplies the body with electrolytes

[@ChrisGascoigne1]

Thanks for sharing that Marcus - this was an old video of mine; they're always the embarrassing ones!

[@sokratzmmf]

Mineral water

[@EricSepulveda]

Water acts as a vessel for electrolytes, smart guy. Water in itself is not an electrolyte. Specific minerals within the Water are electrolytes

[@vanessaemano5357]

Always in moderation. Monitor the color of your urine if you want to know if you are drinking too much water.

[@JenMarco]

Fresh fruit and vegetables has living structured water that hydrates better than water and has natural minerals and nutrients. Water does flush but foods hydrate

[@gregpayne4128]

have u done a 21 day fast or longer fast at all to influence u decisions on longer fast? i fast 3 days and its like my belly feels amazingly
