You need to take what the docter told you not what you want to take that's why there is rules

Hi Emily. I’ve had UC for 27 years. My daughter was diagnosed with Crohn’s when she was 5 as well. We’re still going strong. You should always remember the medicines for our illness are getting better all the time. Good luck for the future. Thanks for the video btw.

Cbd made a difference to me in terms of nausea, with UC. wishing you are in a better part of your journey 😊

Thanks for your updates. Im going to have inflactra infusion soon. I researched the side effects of this medication, and i found out that patients will get hair loss after using this medication. Did you experience this side effect? Thank you

Having crohns and being on your period is SO bad 😭😭

It’s so nice to be able hear someone who struggles with the same things I do! It’s so nice to know that I’m not alone in these feelings. I definitely get what you mean about the burning cramping feeling and not being able to move. And colonoscopies and clean outs definitely suck. You want to get checked but it always makes your symptoms even worse.

I actually got really sick after colonoscopy. I think there was some kind of cross contamination with the instruments because my GI and microbiome got really messed up immediately after…

Im being told i came out negative last colonoscopy, but i have all the same stuff as you did, plus gerd and non alcoholic fatty liver disease. All year, I've been sick on and off.

I have acne and brain fog even when I’m clean as a whistle.

Hey Emily! I think you could do ASMR videos, seriously. Your voice is very calming. Well, I stumbled upon here, because I’ve been living on Imodium every day due to chronic diarrhea for six months. Clean colonoscopy, bloodwork, and fecal calprotectin test. Doctor says it’s “just IBS”! Frustrating.

Thanks for sharing your Crohn’s journey. Thanks for the dietary tips as well. My best to you on your journey!

What your diet is like

Hi. You are so brave. Will you please share the issues you were facing in 2015 when you had first colonoscopy. All my prayers are with you. Always stay blessed.❤

Try carnivore (just red meat and water for 3 month). It was good for me with crohns.

It sounds like your hospital hasn't jumped on the Propofol bandwagon. Or are you in Canada?

Many might benefit if they saw a allergist before diet damages your body.

Amazing TH-cam video ).

Thank you for telling your story. I totally get you.I was diagnosed with Crohn's in February 2021,I knew nothing about this Disease until I read more about it and the Doctors explained to me carefully. I Couldn't believe I had a IBD. I had my first flare-up in June 2022 ,my body was deteriorating, I felt it all and it was Horrible, to the point that I had to be hospitalized. I had a ton of body examinations, including stool and Blood tests, pills to take and I was getting really emotional. I just wanted to get better ASAP. After a month I was already getting better and much stronger. I started to eat well and do some workouts. Thank God I feel much better. From time to time, it is good to do some check-ups with your advised doctor to have a better control of Crohn's😊

Some doctors say Crohn Disease is caused by LEAKY GUT and leaky gut is curable, but doctors said you MUST change your diet. Do NOT eat FOOD CHEMICALS ! Please try Visbiome (Medical Food/powder, probiotic) ! 1 packet Visbiome= 450 billion good bacteria I know someone who was diagnosed with Crohn Disease a few years ago. She was in remission for the last two years, but after using IV medicine, she had recurrent infection (side effect) and had to take antibiotics. After using antibiotics 4~5 times in a short period of time, she had inflammation again. Her doctor said Visbiome will not help anything, but she took the medical food anyway (5 packets of Visbiome per day). Within two months, her blood test and fecal exam came out NORMAL (This means she DOESN'T have inflammation anymore). Probiotics die when they come in contact with stomach acid, so you must take it with EMPTY STOMACH (ex) right after you wake up in the morning). I think capsules have some food chemicals in it, so take POWDER PROBIOTIC. Even if there are a lot of good bacteria in the intestines, if there is no food (for good bacteria), they will starve to death. Salmon, garlic, onion, sweet potato, kale, cabbage, broccoli, banana, apple(with peel), plant root (plant root inulin feeds good bacteria All THE WAY TO RECTUM)...etc. I pray for your good health ! Jesus Loves You !

I agree w all those who advocate a diet based approach vs palliating w drugs cuz you refuse to try gluten- free for example. 2nd suggestion; find a homeopath and a functional med/ health coach. Usually both are a wealth of knowledge and can have near miraculous results.

5 years meds free, over weight, often drinker, eat pretty much what I want apart from spicy food and hi fiber foods. Important Learn to control stress, Make sure you get enough sun/ vit D Fast when flare ups start Avoid sugar= never fizzy drinks Ground yourself often, shoes off on natural ground. Thc oil occasionally. Fasting till symptoms ease is important

I have my first colonoscopy next week after years of extreme pain and discomfort from constipation and gas. I appreciated this video so much you made me feel a lot more comfortable about what products I’m gonna try before the prep day to get things moving. Typical laxatives make me feel sick as well so I’m hoping the Suprep doesn’t make me feel too bad!

I hope you're doing well ❤

Hi emily.... look up dr. John mc dougall and other plant based doctors he works with. They have lots of success with ibd.

Can’t hear you

That’s so interesting… I started with allergies and skin conditions including urticaria and then got IBD later… Thanks for sharing… congrats on your remission! Be well!

Ver helpful. Thx

Get on the carnivore diet

I was diagnosed with UC back in 2012. Recently revised to Crohn's. First 8 years or so were worse & worse. I was eventually put on Remicade, which was great at first, but eventually would stop working after just a week or two. I was definitely headed for surgery. For no particular reason, in 2018 I became a vegan. Within a few weeks, no more symptoms. A snowstorm made me weeks late for my next infusion, but still no symptoms, so I kept pushing it off. I ended up with medication-free remission for 2 years, until I caught COVID, which pushed me into a flare almost immediately. Eventually had to go back on medication to induce remission, but a billing issue meant I couldn't take my 2nd infusion. 12 weeks later and I'm still doing fine. Dr. Robynne Chutkan has a lot of information on YT about fiber and its effect on the microbiome that resonates 100% with my experience, if you aren't already familiar with her. The gist of it is: eat mostly unprocessed foods, avoid added sugar, eat a big variety of plants. It's amazingly effective. My remissions on diet alone are actually more symptom-free than my remissions on medication were (when I ate whatever I wanted, esp. sweets). Hope you're doing okay.

It seems that I'm having a harder time than normal... That might because im anemic...the lowest a guy can be without danger a 16 im at a 7! This lax is PAINFUL and i got dizzy, light headed, there was some tingling and it felt like i got a fever! I drank about 3/4th of it and had to stop... im going to try to finish once i feel close to normal i DONT WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN! I used to be an alcoholic way back so DRINKING this extra thick Gatorade isn't the problem. Im seriously worried about passing out or making my blood even lower...

Very sorry to hear Emily but you can reverse & cure Crohn's 100% easily with raw fermented homemade probiotics like sauerkraut or kefir.. don't use store bought cause they have bad chemicals so make em fresh at home! You"ll feel better just few days after using it, plums are also really powerful as well, take good care hun 💞✌️

Hey! A good way to show the workouts if you’re too shy to film in the gym is to film a demonstration of the workout at home, so when you’re describing it, you can show the demonstration and we’ll know what you mean! Hope that helps:)

I ❤ this video, Emily. So thankful to you. I have Crohn's Disease and my major surgery is next Thursday 21.09.23. I'm having a total proctocolectomy followed by surgery on my small intestine. I take Adalimumab 40mg every second Thursday for my Crohn's but during my admission I am told l have to stop. Along with Crohn's, I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Meneares Disease. I really like, admire and respect you and wish you the best in good health and happiness.

You look prettier than ever...so happy for your updade. I have someone if my family that suffer from that difficult illness.😊

Going through this ilness you are not bitter! You are so sweet,helpfull and so beautiful....good health lovely,take care

My name is Katie I have crohns really bad I hurt too. I walk alot too. I was in and out of hospital too😢😢 I would love to learn more what you do too. So maybe I should try what you do too. Does your stomach roll alot my does it I hate it too

Thanks for the Kind words and help me find my motivation to help myself through my UC Diagnosed back in Christmas 2019. I have indeed being enjoying your Lovely Digest Videos, ill jump into the podcasts here shortly. 🤓

Hii madam Iam a Crohn's patient struggling with this disease mentally and physically please help me out in this struggling I hope you will help with your diet and other plan

This episode was such a great time, thanks for having me on to chat about this :)

Hi Emily! If you really like bars, I recommend Adams gold grain, free, granola bars, and I recommend Lara bars. Both of these products, have zero cane sugar, and the sugar actually comes from dates or maple sugar. Anything is OK in moderation however. I have ulcerative colitis by the way.

You remind me of a younger Brie Larson. Her from 21 jump street movie look. I had a colonoscopy a week ago. Had sedation and strong pain killer. It’s quite annoying as the sedation did nothing and i could have easily have gone to work after. A waste of a day off. really. lol. They found nothing and it went smoothly. Seems like you handled it all well :).

What is that thing hanging on the wall behind your head?

I just got diagnosed in January, got 3 months of steroids and now the IBD Clinic(same office as my GI doctor, my gi doc sent me to the IBD clinic after diagnosis) anyways and the new doc wants me on remicade, so now begins the process of getting pre-auth from my health insurance..

what does tmi mean lol

I’ve messed up on my first colonoscopy and then on the day of my second one I couldn’t get it bc the prep made me puke. Now I have another one in a few weeks and I hope my doctor gives me something I can keep down!!

Aw YAY I’m so happy for your acne victory!!! WHOOHOO! You look lovely as always sweetie!

Hi, a really helpful video. Got my 2nd colonoscopy next week. I have UC. I really like and appreciate what you said about stopping the negative thinking and fears from circulating by reframing them as positive thoughts. Ill invest in a prep and recovery plan plus some rewards this weekend! Thanks so much for making this video.

do you get auras every time you get migraines and have you slowly used less cbd as you got better or do you still use the same amount of cbd? Just been diagnosed with migraines myself 7 months ago unfortunately.
