I've been suffering with UC for five months now. My daily flares start at 11 a.m. then peak at about 2-3 p.m I'm on meds . Do you recommend starting with the juice cabbage to reduce my inflammation ? Or start with the meals you showed at the end of this video ?
The problem of Crohn's is the blood. I treated it through the blood. I took herbs from us from Egypt. I bought it. It was called a cholesterol solvent and a liver fat solvent. I was cured of Crohn's. It simply means the colon is not the actual problem. The whole story is blood. recover....
Really appreciate that, Chris. Enjoyed your video with HYGG, crazy story, man. Glad you're doing what you're doing now as well, and proud to be in a community with you 👊🏻
This is how people should be if they really cared about helping other people. Not holding information behind a paywall but instead putting it out there and then offering coaching if you need further assistance. Kenny, thanks for doing what you do. No one deserves to suffer or risk death because they can’t afford medical information. P.s. You should have a donate button.
Thank you for the kind words, they're very much appreciated. I wouldn't wish IBD on my worst enemy, so I'm very happy to share my experience and what I've learned along the way in the hopes that it helps even just one person. I do have a patreon account, and will be adding a donate button to my actual channel soon! I hope you're doing well, and thank you once again.
And mentally helping them too. IBD mentally takes such a toll and I’ve only been diagnosed two months ago but coming across is videos actually gave me hope
"Check with your Doctor". But ones local Doctor do not know anything about Microbiome, they only hand out dangerous drugs that have horrendous side effects.
After my chrons disease diagonisis 8 years ago, I stopped all the chrons disease medicines/treatment prescribed due to severe side effects, and decided to go on natural herbal approach. My primary care provider introduced me to Dr folonsho and immediately started on their chrons disease herbal formula treatment, this herbal treatment made a tremendous difference for me. my symptoms including shaking,diarrhea,vomiting,blood stool,fatigue,abdominal pain,stomach pain and urinary retention all disappeared after the 1 month treatment contact Dr folonsho the herbal healer { { drfolonsho@gmail.com} you can visit his website at drfolonshoherbalhome.simdif. com/ order-online -today
I started carnivore a week ago. I have UC and had my colon out in 2010. All of my symptoms are gone and I went from going to the bathroom 6-8 times a day with the bowl being filled with undigested food to going 2 maybe 3 times a day with absolutely no food in my stool now. Best thing I ever did! My face was also covered in acne. It’s almost all cleared up now.
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. I don’t know much about UC and I’m scared tbh, but I am so glad that people like you exist. Thank you so much for sharing your story and tips on TH-cam for people like me to find!
@@ForeverVersatile I had really painful stomach cramping mostly when I ate anything, had to go to the bathroom a lot, it became very concerning when I started seeing blood so that’s when I talked to a GI doctor who suggested a colonoscopy. If you haven’t talked to a GI doctor yet, definitely do!
@@christianl3852 since being diagnosed they have put me on steroids (until i can start Stelara) which helps throughout the day, but I’m still experiencing bloating, painful stomach/intestinal cramps, and having to go to the bathroom multiple times a day. My symptoms are definitely lighter when I take the steroids
As usual you're the man. Really appreciate all your effort into producing the most accurate honest information and your willingness to admit where you might have been wrong in the past. God's already using you for some amazing things and I know this is just the beginning.
Appreciate that, Josh! Thank you for the encouragement and the support. Always enjoy talking with you and definitely consider you a friend. Praying for your complete healing. God bless, man.
Found your channel last week and cried of happiness in the middle of the street. Ordered reversed osmosis system and started boiling water for now. Started with blueberry shake, probiotics and fermented foods. Reporting 3 days of soft poops after 18 months of Hell. Still have a long way to go but feeling confident and optimistic. God bless you, Kenny, for doing these videos. You rock.
Thank you so much for this video. My mom suffers from Crohns and Colitis and I've been watching all your videos and taking notes in hopes to help her heal just like you did. Seriously thank you.
Hi Dayana , how is your mom doing? I’m watching the video to try and help my father who has been diagnosed with colitis. Would love to hear from you. 🙏🏼
I was just diagnosed with IBD and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos, research, education, and information. Thanks so much, this encourages me to not give up!
Yeah! I’m so happy you are back making videos! I’m newly diagnosed with UC and when I was hospitalized I Binge watched your videos! They have been sooooo helpful! Keep up the great work! God has a calling on your life!
Thank you! Very glad to hear that they have been helpful. Hope you continue to get better and will be praying for your complete recovery. Appreciate your kind words. God bless
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 🙏🏽
You just blew my mind, Kenny. I had no idea about soluble and insoluble fibre. I’ve been shooting myself in the foot this whole time! Thank you for this knowledge. Life changing!
This is really interesting, thank you. I retired yesterday from teaching psychology and have begun to incorporate you protocols in my diet after having had a nasty flare up and didnt know what it was. I come from a generation where high fibre was king in the UK-I have since realised that despite me wanting it to- it didnt suit me at all, so I have adapted. A journey to health is as important as the heros journey in any culture, so well done for taking that inspirational journey and thank you. Have you ever thought about the effect of emotion and stress on flare ups?
This actually all works for me!! I am in an active flare up and trying to mend. It's comforting to know that your formula for healing will get me back to health soon.
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’m so glad he’s seen improvement! And thank you for taking the time to come back years later and take the time to leave a comment. Wishing you and your son all the best!
Dude, you are such a blessing to watch, so many people charge for the information you give and the fact you do not means you help so many people who may not have had the opportunity to do so, dude thank you!!!
I feel soo bad my english is not good that why i can't understand everything. I wish if he can fid vedio in arabic😭😭😭😭😭😭 because i am sooo sick and depressed about my colon
Did you know your videos don’t come up when I search on TH-cam “healing ulcerative colitis” or any other variation? They used to. I wonder why they don’t now. Anyway, thanks for all the info. I’m dealing with something a little different but your suggestions have helped!
Hi I'm currently working on healing myself from ulcerative colitis would love any support on my channel! Just finished a liquid diet and it has worked wonders for me so far
@@ibdstrength thanks for the response. I’m also wondering if there’s a reason why you don’t put herbs and spices on your meat, is it a personal preference or do they inflame the gut, therefore they are omitted?
I love what you are doing here. I love the thick content of your vid. It nourishes my soul as I have been suffering from IBS for 24 years now. I am finally onto seeing how people who had so called more serious gut diseases healed as my hyper irritable gut..I just want to be like you and have a success story too. This means so much to me. Thank you
You are an unsung hero, my friend, thank you for educating me of this curse I've lived with for so long. Kefir definitely helps! And getting in an hour of exercise is a must.
I am currently sitting in England hospital just been diagnosed with UC I felt my world was over but your videos has given me the positivity to beat this. I am 36 so quite weird age to get it but I am now starting my 8 week steroid cycle. I will be getting water filter when at home and fermenting vegetables also how do I get kefir milk in England. Keep up the good work your knowledge is crazy
Thanks Kenny your TH-cam videos have GREATLY contributed to the healing of my gut! Although I wouldn’t say that I am fully in remission. I know by watching your new videos it will get me there! It has been your research that has brought me to the healing that I am experiencing today. Solid well formed bowel movement’s.
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?
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.
You provide so much helpful theoretic and practical information, thank you from Germany!!! Is there any reason why you do not include eggs as an easily digestiable source of animal protein?
Ah ja das frag ich mich auch. Ich esse momentan noch Eier, aber ich weiß nicht so genau, ob ich sie überhaupt vertrage. Aber ich kann auch nicht jeden Tag Fisch oder Fleisch essen. Meine Proteinquellen sind nämlich sehr limitiert wegen verschiedenen Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten, deswegen hab ich nur Fleisch, Eier oder Fisch zur Auswahl. Wie ist das bei dir?
I’ve been in Crohns limbo for over a year, that is constant moderate symptoms, enough to not be able to live a normal life. I’ve been eating low fiber from intuition, but no other special diet and making no progress, though I’ve never gone on meds. After watching this I’ve started drinking the best kefir I can find at the store, eating naturally fermented pickles, and soluble fiber with every meal. I also have a glass of cabbage juice every morning. I haven’t been practicing this long enough to know how it will work, but I am hopeful.
I just fell over (matter over mind) when I saw your first video, because it was just like my way to recovery from having a active aggressive UC diagnosis in 2012, clean food from scratch, fresh produce fruits and veggies, purified water, probiotics, probiotics and hard training, and refusing to accept the disease, (mind over matter)
I just want to say I really found a lot of help with these videos. I was recently diagnosed with early onset Crohn’s disease and I feel debilitated and heartbroken. But videos like this give me faith that with time I can get better. Thank you

Hi Kenny, I got UC in 2018 and last year I tried your recommended diet, it worked for 2-3 months but then my symptoms returned and my health got more worse than before. I found some TH-cam videos of "carnivore diet" and started following it. haven't faced any issue after that. solid poop with no blood. and I feel more energetic now 🙂
Hey Lucky, I too got UC last year and now doing the Cabbage juicing ,pro/prebiotics,small amounts meat,(Grass fed tho),I'm also type1 really hard for me to keep my numbers down. Good luck to you,oh yes the spice (ceyenne) is great for UC, it differs from other powders spice in that it actually heals ulcers. I use it with tumeric/black pepper.
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!)
Hahaha what's funny is I almost changed the music up for the cooking part this time. Decided to keep it due to nostalgia. Glad you recognized it lol. Hope you're doing well 👊🏻
Hey Man, I have been watching you for awhile. Congrats on continuing your education and also keeping us up to date. I have a flare a couple times a year and use yours and mikes protocol to get back on track. Thank you for caring. Love and hugs brother💙
Only thing I’d do differently with food ingredients is use sea salt, pink “Himalayan” salt isn’t actually from the mountains it’s mined in Pakistan and Australian studies have shown high levels of heavy metals. And I’d use avocado or organic olive oil. Kenny is a blessing for making these videos. I cannot believe the detail he has gone through to put this all together. Thank you, sir.
Great video!! So happy that you are doing well. I have been following you since my son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 3 years. I believe you have a recipe for the fermented veggies & for the kefir?
Thank you so much for this information your videos are just great. The first one i came across was such a big encouragement and got me out of a depressed state
Kenny Honnas, can you make a video on detox symptoms that typically occur when changing diet? For example, how to tell the difference between a detox symptom versus a food intolerance? How long does detox symptoms typically last? Etc.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I don't long youtube videos but you got my attention from the title. So I watched all the way through. I live in Ghana and I have been diagnosed with eczema. But I have always believed that the root cause is a leaky gut. So I will implement your points . Thanks sooo much
You're a life saver mate, was close to giving up until I stumbled across you. Still in early stages of putting together my own dietary change, unfortunately in Aus we're unable to legally buy Raw Milk ... so I'm looking for a good substitute. But mentally, I'm seeing life alot clearer now than I had since being diagnosed with U.C in 2017.
Hi Josh, thank you for the kind words. Just want to encourage you not to give up. Kefir can be made from high quality pasteurized milk. The fermentation process will still produce a large amount of beneficial gut microbiome optimizing probiotic microorganisms. If you want to avoid dairy entirely, you could do things like coconut milk kefir/yogurt as well. Hope that helps. Will be praying for your recovery!
@@team_honnas must have somehow read your mind mate, stocked up on Organic Coconut Milk today and will begin experimenting with milk Kifer culturing process.. Then fermentation process of Vegetables. I've already began to implement 1 of your smoothies each day to begin my day. 2 cups Blueberries 3 bananas 1 Avocado 1 tbl spoon Cacao Powder And was recently adding mango, but may eliminate this due to being high in sugar and a natural diuretic?
@@ArielTabak for me mate, atm I'm buying supermarket branded Kefir Yoghurt .. not milk. I like the consistency better for my morning smoothy and I like mixing Kefir Yoghurt with Cacao Powder as a chocolate sorta yoghurt when I'm really struggling with cravings. The brand I buy is: The Collective - Natural Kefir Yoghurt It's lactose free also.
Josh Freeman that’s awesome man. Yeah I have been going with the collective. Sometimes the Swedish Filmjok or even the Table or Plenty brand. They are all pretty good.
Kenny thanks 🙏🏼 we all really appreciate the videos and your hard work, dedication to share this great knowledge with us which is lifesaving. Because you’re someone who we all can look up to and push ourselves through hard times and inshallah completely heal ourselves 🙏🏼.
Thank you so much for you're videos, I'm from Germany I don't understand every single word hahaha. But I know what you mean in general and I'm very thankful that there is some Like you, you motivate me and are someone who does everything without these unnecessary medications that's what I like so much I like to watch your videos. Now I o follow everything but with this video I got even more clarity you're the best you take time different help. I wish you the best in living and an eternal health brother
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment. I really appreciate your words and am very happy to post this kind of stuff in the hopes that it helps even one person. I will try to post subtitles in english and german when I get a chance. Hopefully that will make it easier to understand!
@@team_honnas yeah please sub in German that would be very heplfull for me and many of my friends, I really want to understand everything what you say, I don't want to take medication anymore I just want to follow your way of healing you can't believe how happy I am to know you ❤️😭 God bless 🙌
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.
You da man Kenny. I’m currently in the last phase of my own healing journey and the info put forth by you and Mike has been the major catalyst to help me get there. Hope to do a video with you someday! Big ups
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
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 TH-cam 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. If you send me an email (address found in the description, for some reason TH-cam always deletes comments that have my address in it) with some links to the studies you're referencing that would be very helpful and something I'd enjoy taking a look at.
Thank you for another helpful video Kenny, legend! Funnily enough I've just cooked some Turmeric Rice for the first time before watching this video, one thing I read about was cooling the rice in the fridge & re-heating before eating to increase resistant starch content, which it was said to be beneficial for UC. Do you have any experience or knowledge on this subject? Cheers
I appreciate that, Olly! No, I don't have any experience with re-heating the rice to increase resistant starch content, though I am interested in looking into it. I do know that certain resistant starches are fantastic for the gut microbiome. Thanks for the tip, will have to look further into it. 👊🏻
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
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.
I listen to this when going to sleep regularly. Gives me hope and positive info while I dream about a healthy gut. Helps me relax and drift off. I’ve got a long way to go. Progress is slow
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.
Thank you for the tip! Haven't thought much about adding in black pepper, though I do remember it helps increase absorption. Thank you for the reminder. Will look into incorporating both. 👊🏻Hope you're doing well!
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.
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!
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.
Hello Kenny! REALLY thank you SO MUCh for all the videos!!! It´s so awesome you give out every knowledge that you have just in the videos for everyone! You never stopped to stay upon your goal, which is" I just want to help people" from the very beginning in 2017 until now! Thank you! Sadly I couldn´t find any clean raw milk nor the bulk of blueberries...so I couldn´t really follow your bootcamp and went through a new bad flare up for three months...but your vids give me hope. There must be out there something I can do......I WILL find a way...thank you.
Thank you very much for the kind words and for continuing to keep up with me over the past few years. I am personally a big fan of raw milk, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary to heal. I think you can substitute homemade kefir (from good quality pasteurized milk) or even use kefir/yogurt made from coconut milk. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, praying for you.
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.
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
I was recently diagnosed , 3 days ago actually, after a month of not knowing what was going on. Thank you Mike. I'd strongly consider you're coaching option. Please share your email. Thanks you for breaking it down thoroughly and being transparent with us. God Bless
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.
Thank you the reply Kenny, honestly appreciate it so much. Its my boyfriend that suffers with UC and your videos have given us inspiration and structure as we try and get on top of it. Thanks again :) Lucy
. This might be the most high quality content I have ever seen in YT No kidding I can’t speak English very well and you make this easy to understand specially with graphic and Video . And all these info is free wt a legend !
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. Food is medicine! (Or poison) 😝
Thank you so much for this! I have a question though. Store bought kefir will that be sufficient? I am unsure of the pastuisation(?) process of such a milk. Thanks again!!
I think you meant cureforulcerativecolitisdotcom at 23:18. ulcerativecolitiscuredotcom goes somewhere else. I have been following you for about 2 years. When I was in Virginia, I thought of going to Pennsylvania to buy a few gallons of raw milk, then I gave up going there. The smoothies didn't work for me. Now I understand why. Thank you for your efforts. Have you heard of the Briggs Protocol? It requires making enemas that are hard for me to hold.
Yes, you are exactly right, my mistake. Good catch. I'll make a note of that in the description. I haven't yet heard of the briggs protocol, but will definitely look into it. I will definitely be praying for your recovery.
Bro..I know it is hard to heal but i firmly believe that everyone can heal it require dedication, self believe and precise protocol to optimize gut microbiome Pray for recovery of all who are suffering from awfull disease 🙏🙏 AWESOME WORK KENNY HONNUS ITS APPRECIABLE 👍 Keep GOING on 🗽👍👍
Kenny, you're a great guy...I really appreciate you spreading your message and knowledge to help others...and myself! Hopefully there is a lot more to come from you! let the healing begin! x
Thank you for your kind words. Still a lot more to come, but it's going to be slow unfortunately. Have some other things I have to take care of over the next few months, but I plan on rolling out some other things on social media that will still hopefully be a big help. Will be excited to get back to youtube in the next few months! Will be praying for your full recovery.
Have u ever had very young patients? I'm watching various videos regarding this topic because my brother was diagnosed with UC when he was just 12. now he's 13. The doctors were stumped that someone so young has UC. None of the steroids were working on him and finally one did, infliximab. Usually he's OK for about 4 months after a dose but this time he started loosing blood just 3 weeks after the dose. Worried is an understatement. It's terrible because he's a child, he's never eaten steamed or boiled foods before. It's basically tastless and he gets so sad when he can't eat tasty food. And I'm trying to find diets catered to children with UC, but, again, the problem arises because no one's ever dealt with a childe before.
Hey Kenny! in your video you said to not move onto phase 2 if you are still experiencing inflammation (flaring), so does that mean I shouldn't have the smoothie with bananas, blueberries, and avocados? Thank you for the help!
Kenny - Thank you so much for this long lost Boot Camp ep. 10! I was quite excited when I saw the notification come though. 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. Your channel is the first place I turned when I decided to heal my UC though diet. They've been so helpful.
Kenny Honnas yes I have been very well 👍 no flares for about a year. Definitely get my pre and probiotics everyday. Eating nutrient dense food and exercising. You and mike helped me out a lot while healing. 💕congratulations on your graduation your awesome 😎
Trying your diet for the first time TODAY. I had an inflammation non-stop for many months now, even when I limited myself to low-fiber diet before. Gonna try the smoothies now whether the restoration of micro-biom helps. My second meal stays the same as I ate steaks or fish with rice anyway as my main meal of the day. I will maybe add some steamed carrot or cucchini... I will also engage the intermittent fasting protocol as I think it is a great idea to give the bowel time to rest and provoke it less by eating only 2 times. Also just turning it around to eat 8 hours instead of 16 is a great way to start I think. In addition to that I am cutting on coffee and some of the small snacks I had throughout the day. Cause I have never realized it, but man, I think you've got a point. I am chugging the last third of the smoothie right now and I am full already. And I made it only with 2 bananas instead of 4. Ufff...
I just started my first smoothie . I only added 6 oz of Keifer just incase I might need to get non dairy . I’m excited for lunch and also for the appointment I made with you this Monday . Thank you
Thank you sir. I've been doing lots of research and have found basically the same thing as you. Went 4 months no flare after medicine regiment and couldn't figure out what caused the flare again after eating basically whatever i wanted. Realized it could have been the water I started to drink more of the last few days before the flare. I now only drink reverese osmosis water. I think personally, unless in a bad flare, it's not so much what you eat but rather what you aren't. To an extent obviously.
Thank you for sharing. What we do/don't eat and drink definitely plays a big part in this whole process in my opinion as well. Will be praying for your complete recovery!
I had a hiatal hernia repair about ten years ago. First couple of years were good. Now I have SIBO and it wakes me up several times at night because it affects my sinuses and increases my blood pressure. This diet for UCD really helps as well as switching to gluten free bread. I feel hopeless sometimes. This gives me hope. I stopped going to gastroenterologists. They haven’t helped me with this issue. 🙏
I've seen some studies suggesting that the sulfur-containing amino acids in meats, alcohols, and eggs can cause flares or exacerbate symptoms in those with IBD. Thoughts on this?
Kye Riehl I’ll throw in my experience. I have been on a 0 fiber and very low carb diet for 2 months now. In the beginning I was 0 carb as well; only meat and bone broth. This approach stopped a flare in 5 days. I then added in eggs (even after testing positive for IgG antibodies in a test) with no negative consequences. I continue to make eggs the base of most of my meals with no issues. I recently added in raw honey and spore based probiotics which stopped any small amount of bleeding that was left. Currently moving towards fermented dairy and going to slowly add in solvable fiber to bullet proof my gut. So, not saying that eating large amounts of meat and eggs is a good thing, but I have had great success following that approach. Hope you are well!
That's a great question. I know Jordan Rubin ate eggs all throughout his healing protocol. I didn't eat them very much while I was healing, although I eat them relatively frequently now. As for sulfur-containing amino acids in general, I've also heard that they can negatively impact gut health. That's part of the reason I definitely think that meat should not be overly consumed. I think alcohol should be avoided while healing, or at the very least limited to once per month. Once healed, I think all of the above can be incorporated. Moderation is a big factor in both the healing phase and post-healing phase. All that being said, eggs might be a trial and error kind of thing while healing. See how you feel on them and then decide how you want to proceed. I'd personally probably stay away from eating them regularly, maybe once a week, or maybe a small amount each day (like 1-2) if you absolutely want to eat them regularly. As I said in the video, I now think meat can be incorporated from the beginning of the healing process as long as it's not an absurdly high amount of meat. Hope that helps!
Reducing my own overall sulphur intake worked wonders on colitis. It ultimately comes down to methionine and cysteine. Both are the sulfur containing amino acids extremely rich in animal protein. However if you reduce your cysteine intake the body will create more hydrogen sulphur through methionine and the hydrogen sulphur is a killer to colitis, especially if you're genetically susceptible to a sulphur/thiol intolerance. If so you need to build up the butyrate in the colon to improve epithelial health which is damage from hydrogen sulphur. This short chain fatty acid is created from fermented carbs (resistant starch was the easiest for me to digest given my fructose malabsorption) and you can get huge benefits for butyric acid and gut health from grass fed ghee 👌
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.
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!
Tip,soaking the rice the night before cooking,then rise well or soak a few hours with a tea spoon of baking soda then rise very well before cooking, the rice will cook much faster ,..so less water is needed, plus it will be better digestible and more tolerable ,it will remove arsenic and other impurities. For same that can't tolerate the rice and potatoes, cooking using a cook pression will make a big difference
Hey Kenny, speaking of kefir - how do you feel about the kefir made by Lifeway? It seems to be a really well known brand and the only brand of kefir I can find in stores. Thanks for the videos! I am a huge fan and believer in what you teach.

Love u bro... Long time no videos
I've been suffering with UC for five months now. My daily flares start at 11 a.m. then peak at about 2-3 p.m I'm on meds . Do you recommend starting with the juice cabbage to reduce my inflammation ? Or start with the meals you showed at the end of this video ?
sir ,what do you think about raw food diet ?

Really appreciate that, Chris. Enjoyed your video with HYGG, crazy story, man. Glad you're doing what you're doing now as well, and proud to be in a community with you 👊🏻
there are plenty more of us out there.... lots of us become nutritionists because of it, not in spite of it.
My child age 8 years so started ulcerative colitis in 2years age pls advice
I have a major changes now and I'm I can finally eat without bleeding...It's not a magic just slowly improving, patience pays all.
yes that should be a prerequisite to enter a medical school
This is how people should be if they really cared about helping other people. Not holding information behind a paywall but instead putting it out there and then offering coaching if you need further assistance. Kenny, thanks for doing what you do. No one deserves to suffer or risk death because they can’t afford medical information.
P.s. You should have a donate button.
Thank you for the kind words, they're very much appreciated. I wouldn't wish IBD on my worst enemy, so I'm very happy to share my experience and what I've learned along the way in the hopes that it helps even just one person.

If u were from india then go to planet ayurveda they do miracles with ibd patients ...i m completly fine by their medicine and totaly medicine free
Hai how is ur condition now
And so if it works so well how did it work for you
I started carnivore a week ago. I have UC and had my colon out in 2010. All of my symptoms are gone and I went from going to the bathroom 6-8 times a day with the bowl being filled with undigested food to going 2 maybe 3 times a day with absolutely no food in my stool now. Best thing I ever did! My face was also covered in acne. It’s almost all cleared up now.
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. I don’t know much about UC and I’m scared tbh, but I am so glad that people like you exist. Thank you so much for sharing your story and tips on TH-cam for people like me to find!
how are your symthoms ?
Hi Madisyn, I'm hoping i have UC or something similar and not something much worse. What symptoms were you having?
@@ForeverVersatile I had really painful stomach cramping mostly when I ate anything, had to go to the bathroom a lot, it became very concerning when I started seeing blood so that’s when I talked to a GI doctor who suggested a colonoscopy. If you haven’t talked to a GI doctor yet, definitely do!
@@christianl3852 since being diagnosed they have put me on steroids (until i can start Stelara) which helps throughout the day, but I’m still experiencing bloating, painful stomach/intestinal cramps, and having to go to the bathroom multiple times a day. My symptoms are definitely lighter when I take the steroids
@@madiiel Did you have Covid by any chance? My UC-like symptoms started about 2 or 3 weeks after catching Covid - never had any signs before.
As usual you're the man. Really appreciate all your effort into producing the most accurate honest information and your willingness to admit where you might have been wrong in the past. God's already using you for some amazing things and I know this is just the beginning.
Appreciate that, Josh! Thank you for the encouragement and the support. Always enjoy talking with you and definitely consider you a friend. Praying for your complete healing. God bless, man.
Found your channel last week and cried of happiness in the middle of the street. Ordered reversed osmosis system and started boiling water for now. Started with blueberry shake, probiotics and fermented foods. Reporting 3 days of soft poops after 18 months of Hell. Still have a long way to go but feeling confident and optimistic. God bless you, Kenny, for doing these videos. You rock.
Hey how are you doing now?
How are you doing now?
How are you doing now?
Thank you so much for this video. My mom suffers from Crohns and Colitis and I've been watching all your videos and taking notes in hopes to help her heal just like you did. Seriously thank you.
Hi Dayana , how is your mom doing? I’m watching the video to try and help my father who has been diagnosed with colitis. Would love to hear from you. 🙏🏼
I was just diagnosed with IBD and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos, research, education, and information. Thanks so much, this encourages me to not give up!
Yeah!
I’m so happy you are back making videos! I’m newly diagnosed with UC and when I was hospitalized I Binge watched your videos! They have been sooooo helpful! Keep up the great work! God has a calling on your life!
Thank you! Very glad to hear that they have been helpful. Hope you continue to get better and will be praying for your complete recovery. Appreciate your kind words. God bless
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 🙏🏽

You just blew my mind, Kenny. I had no idea about soluble and insoluble fibre. I’ve been shooting myself in the foot this whole time! Thank you for this knowledge. Life changing!
This is really interesting, thank you. I retired yesterday from teaching psychology and have begun to incorporate you protocols in my diet after having had a nasty flare up and didnt know what it was. I come from a generation where high fibre was king in the UK-I have since realised that despite me wanting it to- it didnt suit me at all, so I have adapted. A journey to health is as important as the heros journey in any culture, so well done for taking that inspirational journey and thank you. Have you ever thought about the effect of emotion and stress on flare ups?
This actually all works for me!! I am in an active flare up and trying to mend. It's comforting to know that your formula for healing will get me back to health soon.
How are you now ?
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’m so glad he’s seen improvement! And thank you for taking the time to come back years later and take the time to leave a comment. Wishing you and your son all the best!

@@ibdstrength how long did you stay on the liquid diet for?
@@-xyz-012 hiya! About a week
@@ibdstrength thanks for the response. I’m also wondering if there’s a reason why you don’t put herbs and spices on your meat, is it a personal preference or do they inflame the gut, therefore they are omitted?
Finally, a plain and simple, but thorough video. It was difficult to understand, if I need to eat a lot of fiber, or not. Now it's clear. Thank you!
You’re a god sent saviour for the IBD community.. keep up the good work bro.. God Bless you.
I love what you are doing here. I love the thick content of your vid. It nourishes my soul as I have been suffering from IBS for 24 years now. I am finally onto seeing how people who had so called more serious gut diseases healed as my hyper irritable gut..I just want to be like you and have a success story too. This means so much to me. Thank you
You are an unsung hero, my friend, thank you for educating me of this curse I've lived with for so long. Kefir definitely helps! And getting in an hour of exercise is a must.
Are u healed
I am currently sitting in England hospital just been diagnosed with UC I felt my world was over but your videos has given me the positivity to beat this. I am 36 so quite weird age to get it but I am now starting my 8 week steroid cycle. I will be getting water filter when at home and fermenting vegetables also how do I get kefir milk in England. Keep up the good work your knowledge is crazy
Thanks Kenny your TH-cam videos have GREATLY contributed to the healing of my gut! Although I wouldn’t say that I am fully in remission. I know by watching your new videos it will get me there! It has been your research that has brought me to the healing that I am experiencing today. Solid well formed bowel movement’s.
Happy to hear that, Eric. Thanks for the kid words! Praying for your full recovery.
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?
In my experience, your updates to your protocol make it more accurate!
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.
You provide so much helpful theoretic and practical information, thank you from Germany!!! Is there any reason why you do not include eggs as an easily digestiable source of animal protein?
Ah ja das frag ich mich auch. Ich esse momentan noch Eier, aber ich weiß nicht so genau, ob ich sie überhaupt vertrage. Aber ich kann auch nicht jeden Tag Fisch oder Fleisch essen. Meine Proteinquellen sind nämlich sehr limitiert wegen verschiedenen Allergien und Unverträglichkeiten, deswegen hab ich nur Fleisch, Eier oder Fisch zur Auswahl. Wie ist das bei dir?
I’ve been in Crohns limbo for over a year, that is constant moderate symptoms, enough to not be able to live a normal life. I’ve been eating low fiber from intuition, but no other special diet and making no progress, though I’ve never gone on meds. After watching this I’ve started drinking the best kefir I can find at the store, eating naturally fermented pickles, and soluble fiber with every meal. I also have a glass of cabbage juice every morning. I haven’t been practicing this long enough to know how it will work, but I am hopeful.
I just fell over (matter over mind) when I saw your first video, because it was just like my way to recovery from having a active aggressive UC diagnosis in 2012, clean food from scratch, fresh produce fruits and veggies, purified water, probiotics, probiotics and hard training, and refusing to accept the disease, (mind over matter)
I just want to say I really found a lot of help with these videos. I was recently diagnosed with early onset Crohn’s disease and I feel debilitated and heartbroken. But videos like this give me faith that with time I can get better. Thank you

Hi Kenny, I got UC in 2018 and last year I tried your recommended diet, it worked for 2-3 months but then my symptoms returned and my health got more worse than before. I found some TH-cam videos of "carnivore diet" and started following it. haven't faced any issue after that. solid poop with no blood. and I feel more energetic now 🙂
Hey Lucky, I too got UC last year and now doing the Cabbage juicing ,pro/prebiotics,small amounts meat,(Grass fed tho),I'm also type1 really hard for me to keep my numbers down. Good luck to you,oh yes the spice (ceyenne) is great for UC, it differs from other powders spice in that it actually heals ulcers. I use it with tumeric/black pepper.

i almost cred from happiness when i saw this because from reaserch i already did myself, i kno this is the correct way. thank you so much
You experienced and you cared and thus shared. Not like others who lure you to buy their online remedies. God bless❤️
I love the introduction of a process map. this is gold!
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!)
Thank you for sharing! Glad you're seeing improvement!
Very well composed and presented. Well done SIR. I have noted the recipes and shall follow today onwards.

Hahaha what's funny is I almost changed the music up for the cooking part this time. Decided to keep it due to nostalgia. Glad you recognized it lol. Hope you're doing well 👊🏻
Hey Man, I have been watching you for awhile. Congrats on continuing your education and also keeping us up to date. I have a flare a couple times a year and use yours and mikes protocol to get back on track. Thank you for caring. Love and hugs brother💙
Congrats on becoming a nutritionist and thank you for these videos!
Only thing I’d do differently with food ingredients is use sea salt, pink “Himalayan” salt isn’t actually from the mountains it’s mined in Pakistan and Australian studies have shown high levels of heavy metals. And I’d use avocado or organic olive oil. Kenny is a blessing for making these videos. I cannot believe the detail he has gone through to put this all together. Thank you, sir.
Great video!! So happy that you are doing well. I have been following you since my son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 3 years. I believe you have a recipe for the fermented veggies & for the kefir?
Thank you so much for this information your videos are just great. The first one i came across was such a big encouragement and got me out of a depressed state
Kenny Honnas, can you make a video on detox symptoms that typically occur when changing diet? For example, how to tell the difference between a detox symptom versus a food intolerance? How long does detox symptoms typically last? Etc.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I don't long youtube videos but you got my attention from the title. So I watched all the way through. I live in Ghana and I have been diagnosed with eczema. But I have always believed that the root cause is a leaky gut. So I will implement your points . Thanks sooo much
You're a life saver mate, was close to giving up until I stumbled across you.
Still in early stages of putting together my own dietary change, unfortunately in Aus we're unable to legally buy Raw Milk ... so I'm looking for a good substitute.
But mentally, I'm seeing life alot clearer now than I had since being diagnosed with U.C in 2017.
Hi Josh, thank you for the kind words. Just want to encourage you not to give up. Kefir can be made from high quality pasteurized milk. The fermentation process will still produce a large amount of beneficial gut microbiome optimizing probiotic microorganisms. If you want to avoid dairy entirely, you could do things like coconut milk kefir/yogurt as well. Hope that helps. Will be praying for your recovery!
@@team_honnas must have somehow read your mind mate, stocked up on Organic Coconut Milk today and will begin experimenting with milk Kifer culturing process..

2 cups Blueberries
3 bananas
1 Avocado

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.
You da man Kenny. I’m currently in the last phase of my own healing journey and the info put forth by you and Mike has been the major catalyst to help me get there. Hope to do a video with you someday! Big ups
Really happy to hear that! More than open to do a video with you someday. Praying for your recovery.
what did you do to heal?
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
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 TH-cam 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. If you send me an email (address found in the description, for some reason TH-cam always deletes comments that have my address in it) with some links to the studies you're referencing that would be very helpful and something I'd enjoy taking a look at.
Thank you for another helpful video Kenny, legend!
Funnily enough I've just cooked some Turmeric Rice for the first time before watching this video, one thing I read about was cooling the rice in the fridge & re-heating before eating to increase resistant starch content, which it was said to be beneficial for UC. Do you have any experience or knowledge on this subject?
Cheers
I appreciate that, Olly! No, I don't have any experience with re-heating the rice to increase resistant starch content, though I am interested in looking into it. I do know that certain resistant starches are fantastic for the gut microbiome. Thanks for the tip, will have to look further into it. 👊🏻
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
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 making this super detailed video, it’s the best communicated approach I’ve seen to date. Thank you!!
I’m curious if anyone else has healed/reversed their UC specifically using his methods, and only his methods?
I'm so happy you made another video. All the best , u give us hope
Thanks for the incredible info .
How much time to start to see a bit of improvement to make sure we are on the right track ?
Thank you
I listen to this when going to sleep regularly. Gives me hope and positive info while I dream about a healthy gut. Helps me relax and drift off. I’ve got a long way to go. Progress is slow
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.
Yes absolutely hopefully everybody will see this
Thank you for the tip! Haven't thought much about adding in black pepper, though I do remember it helps increase absorption. Thank you for the reminder. Will look into incorporating both. 👊🏻Hope you're doing well!
What a beautiful work you are doing
Thanks for taking much of the guess work out for many of us and making it easy for anyone to follow.
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.
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!
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.

Hello Kenny! REALLY thank you SO MUCh for all the videos!!! It´s so awesome you give out every knowledge that you have just in the videos for everyone! You never stopped to stay upon your goal, which is" I just want to help people" from the very beginning in 2017 until now! Thank you! Sadly I couldn´t find any clean raw milk nor the bulk of blueberries...so I couldn´t really follow your bootcamp and went through a new bad flare up for three months...but your vids give me hope. There must be out there something I can do......I WILL find a way...thank you.
Thank you very much for the kind words and for continuing to keep up with me over the past few years. I am personally a big fan of raw milk, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary to heal. I think you can substitute homemade kefir (from good quality pasteurized milk) or even use kefir/yogurt made from coconut milk. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, praying for you.
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.
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

I was recently diagnosed , 3 days ago actually, after a month of not knowing what was going on. Thank you Mike. I'd strongly consider you're coaching option. Please share your email. Thanks you for breaking it down thoroughly and being transparent with us. God Bless
Another inspiring and interesting video Kenny, thank you. What are your thoughts on including high quality eggs in the healing phase?
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.
Thank you the reply Kenny, honestly appreciate it so much. Its my boyfriend that suffers with UC and your videos have given us inspiration and structure as we try and get on top of it.
Thanks again :) Lucy
. This might be the most high quality content I have ever seen in YT No kidding I can’t speak English very well and you make this easy to understand specially with graphic and Video . And all these info is free wt a legend !
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. Food is medicine! (Or poison) 😝

Do you think the Kefir could be substituted with fermented cabbage juice (=Sauerkraut Juice).
additional question, sorry: do you think store bought kefir can be beneficial as well?
Thank you so much for this! I have a question though. Store bought kefir will that be sufficient? I am unsure of the pastuisation(?) process of such a milk. Thanks again!!
Did you try it? Thinking about it myself
@@MkwiiProTT are you healed
@@recepie-house no but it does help a lot
I think you meant cureforulcerativecolitisdotcom at 23:18. ulcerativecolitiscuredotcom goes somewhere else. I have been following you for about 2 years. When I was in Virginia, I thought of going to Pennsylvania to buy a few gallons of raw milk, then I gave up going there. The smoothies didn't work for me. Now I understand why. Thank you for your efforts. Have you heard of the Briggs Protocol? It requires making enemas that are hard for me to hold.
Yes, you are exactly right, my mistake. Good catch. I'll make a note of that in the description. I haven't yet heard of the briggs protocol, but will definitely look into it. I will definitely be praying for your recovery.
Have you ever made a list of approved foods and unapproved foods when flared up?
This sounds like just the video I need to watch. Wow no medication either? That's amazing. Awesome man.
Bro..I know it is hard to heal but i firmly believe that everyone can heal it require dedication, self believe and precise protocol to optimize gut microbiome
Pray for recovery of all who are suffering from awfull disease 🙏🙏
AWESOME WORK KENNY HONNUS ITS APPRECIABLE 👍
Keep GOING on 🗽👍👍
Thank you for the words of encouragement! Really appreciate that. Praying for your complete recovery 👊🏻
Thank you so much! But i advice to add carob syrop, to the kefir 1 spoon to each cup. It changed effect of treatment to me dramatically.
Kenny, you're a great guy...I really appreciate you spreading your message and knowledge to help others...and myself! Hopefully there is a lot more to come from you! let the healing begin! x
Thank you for your kind words. Still a lot more to come, but it's going to be slow unfortunately. Have some other things I have to take care of over the next few months, but I plan on rolling out some other things on social media that will still hopefully be a big help. Will be excited to get back to youtube in the next few months! Will be praying for your full recovery.
Have u ever had very young patients? I'm watching various videos regarding this topic because my brother was diagnosed with UC when he was just 12. now he's 13.
The doctors were stumped that someone so young has UC. None of the steroids were working on him and finally one did, infliximab. Usually he's OK for about 4 months after a dose but this time he started loosing blood just 3 weeks after the dose. Worried is an understatement.
It's terrible because he's a child, he's never eaten steamed or boiled foods before. It's basically tastless and he gets so sad when he can't eat tasty food. And I'm trying to find diets catered to children with UC, but, again, the problem arises because no one's ever dealt with a childe before.
Hey Kenny!
in your video you said to not move onto phase 2 if you are still experiencing inflammation (flaring), so does that mean I shouldn't have the smoothie with bananas, blueberries, and avocados?
Thank you for the help!
Kenny - Thank you so much for this long lost Boot Camp ep. 10! I was quite excited when I saw the notification come though.
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. Your channel is the first place I turned when I decided to heal my UC though diet. They've been so helpful.
Whoooo!!! 👏 thank you for all your help Kenny!!
You're very welcome. Hope you're doing well!
Kenny Honnas yes I have been very well 👍 no flares for about a year. Definitely get my pre and probiotics everyday. Eating nutrient dense food and exercising. You and mike helped me out a lot while healing. 💕congratulations on your graduation your awesome 😎
Trying your diet for the first time TODAY. I had an inflammation non-stop for many months now, even when I limited myself to low-fiber diet before. Gonna try the smoothies now whether the restoration of micro-biom helps. My second meal stays the same as I ate steaks or fish with rice anyway as my main meal of the day. I will maybe add some steamed carrot or cucchini...
I will also engage the intermittent fasting protocol as I think it is a great idea to give the bowel time to rest and provoke it less by eating only 2 times. Also just turning it around to eat 8 hours instead of 16 is a great way to start I think.
In addition to that I am cutting on coffee and some of the small snacks I had throughout the day. Cause I have never realized it, but man, I think you've got a point.
I am chugging the last third of the smoothie right now and I am full already. And I made it only with 2 bananas instead of 4. Ufff...
Are u healed
Are you heled@@recepie-house
I know this is random question, but how many hours you sleep in a day when you trying to heal. And what time you sleep in night???
This is a good question
I tried to sleep at least 8 hours a night. On the weekends I tried to sleep as long as possible.
Hope that helps!
On weekdays I try to sleep at least 7 1/2 -9 hours, but on weekends I’ll let myself sleep 10 1/2 -12 hours. I notice it really helps.
I just started my first smoothie . I only added 6 oz of Keifer just incase I might need to get non dairy . I’m excited for lunch and also for the appointment I made with you this Monday . Thank you
Thank you sir. I've been doing lots of research and have found basically the same thing as you. Went 4 months no flare after medicine regiment and couldn't figure out what caused the flare again after eating basically whatever i wanted. Realized it could have been the water I started to drink more of the last few days before the flare. I now only drink reverese osmosis water. I think personally, unless in a bad flare, it's not so much what you eat but rather what you aren't. To an extent obviously.
Thank you for sharing. What we do/don't eat and drink definitely plays a big part in this whole process in my opinion as well. Will be praying for your complete recovery!
@@team_honnas did you recovered completely
I had a hiatal hernia repair about ten years ago. First couple of years were good. Now I have SIBO and it wakes me up several times at night because it affects my sinuses and increases my blood pressure. This diet for UCD really helps as well as switching to gluten free bread. I feel hopeless sometimes. This gives me hope. I stopped going to gastroenterologists. They haven’t helped me with this issue. 🙏
I've seen some studies suggesting that the sulfur-containing amino acids in meats, alcohols, and eggs can cause flares or exacerbate symptoms in those with IBD. Thoughts on this?
Kye Riehl I’ll throw in my experience. I have been on a 0 fiber and very low carb diet for 2 months now. In the beginning I was 0 carb as well; only meat and bone broth. This approach stopped a flare in 5 days. I then added in eggs (even after testing positive for IgG antibodies in a test) with no negative consequences. I continue to make eggs the base of most of my meals with no issues. I recently added in raw honey and spore based probiotics which stopped any small amount of bleeding that was left. Currently moving towards fermented dairy and going to slowly add in solvable fiber to bullet proof my gut. So, not saying that eating large amounts of meat and eggs is a good thing, but I have had great success following that approach. Hope you are well!
That's a great question. I know Jordan Rubin ate eggs all throughout his healing protocol. I didn't eat them very much while I was healing, although I eat them relatively frequently now. As for sulfur-containing amino acids in general, I've also heard that they can negatively impact gut health. That's part of the reason I definitely think that meat should not be overly consumed. I think alcohol should be avoided while healing, or at the very least limited to once per month. Once healed, I think all of the above can be incorporated. Moderation is a big factor in both the healing phase and post-healing phase.
All that being said, eggs might be a trial and error kind of thing while healing. See how you feel on them and then decide how you want to proceed. I'd personally probably stay away from eating them regularly, maybe once a week, or maybe a small amount each day (like 1-2) if you absolutely want to eat them regularly. As I said in the video, I now think meat can be incorporated from the beginning of the healing process as long as it's not an absurdly high amount of meat.
Hope that helps!
@@team_honnas Thanks for the reply!
Reducing my own overall sulphur intake worked wonders on colitis. It ultimately comes down to methionine and cysteine. Both are the sulfur containing amino acids extremely rich in animal protein. However if you reduce your cysteine intake the body will create more hydrogen sulphur through methionine and the hydrogen sulphur is a killer to colitis, especially if you're genetically susceptible to a sulphur/thiol intolerance. If so you need to build up the butyrate in the colon to improve epithelial health which is damage from hydrogen sulphur. This short chain fatty acid is created from fermented carbs (resistant starch was the easiest for me to digest given my fructose malabsorption) and you can get huge benefits for butyric acid and gut health from grass fed ghee 👌
@@DylanJack7 That is awesome, thank you for sharing that. Definitely going to look further into that and attempt to educate myself on that front. 👊🏻
Kenny Thanks for helping out so many in need.
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.
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!
Tip,soaking the rice the night before cooking,then rise well or soak a few hours with a tea spoon of baking soda then rise very well before cooking, the rice will cook much faster ,..so less water is needed, plus it will be better digestible and more tolerable ,it will remove arsenic and other impurities. For same that can't tolerate the rice and potatoes, cooking using a cook pression will make a big difference
Hey Kenny, speaking of kefir - how do you feel about the kefir made by Lifeway? It seems to be a really well known brand and the only brand of kefir I can find in stores. Thanks for the videos! I am a huge fan and believer in what you teach.
I use Lifeway. It works
Love your vids Kenny! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
