@@AD-zg7fw thanks for asking 🙏🏾 I’m doing better now.. it took a while but slowly it’s getting better. How are you now are you also diagnosed with crohns?
@@asnwoa8280 yes since 2007. My first GI bleed was very obvious and in 2005 towards the end of my course of accutane, although unfortunately there is really no way to get reparations from Roche. I used to be very involved with the CCFA but they act like gangsters at the higher level. But whenever I meet someone else with Crohns (or any gut condition that is similar) it is like meeting a fellow solider off the battlefield. It's a real band of brothers, I've met or corresponded online with a few hundred fellow patients over the years and it's really a blessing even though it's also a gauntlet, the disease itself. I'm doing okay overall but not totally in remission, once the first surgery it's hard to have gut balance with the gut Flora due to bile acid mal-absorbtion as well as SIBO because the ileo-cecal valve between small and large intestines gets taken out it's where Crohn's usually starts. Look up Bile acid mal-absorbtion it can occur secondary to Crohn's even when a patient has had no surgery. What's cool is that medication I have to take, at least it protects me from c diff, it binds to free bile salts/bile acid so it doesn't cause a sort of colitis or very extreme IBS Once reaching the colon. And guess what? Most gastros don't seem to know how common it can be both before or after any Crohn's surgery, my surgeon actually thanked me and was happy when I figured out why I had such bad symptoms, but different symptoms, after a bowel resection. Free bile is really harsh in the pH of the colon and it burns so,sorry to share but if you ever run into that it can be mitigated both with and without medications. Psyllium fiber can help prevent bike acid mal-absorbtion if you don't want to try cholestyramine
@@asnwoa8280 I know it seems silly in a comment section but I added some more info to my comment and if there is any kind of question you have with regards to crohn's, I'm not a medical professional but a very well read patient who definitely wants to help out, haha even when not asked
Respect to you. I have Crohn Disease since i was 21 . I am 36 now i hope one day i will be drug free , but i am still taking 7-8 pills every day . It sucks...
I agree stress does flare you up, the pain is horrendous when it flares, cant lay comfortably at all. Spend hours at a time in a hot bath pulling the plug when it gets colder and refilling it, was in bath in total for 6 hours one morning, thankyou for your video
Katie-Jo Sorry to hear that... I’ve had the same problem. The way I did was to put a hot “microwave wheat bag” on my stomach. It worked really good for me, so my recommendation for you is to try it out! Hope everything works out well for you!
As anyone with a chronic illness can tell you, a day of relief is a breath of fresh air. I'm happy to report that I have been medicine free and pain free for nearly 5 years at this point. To me the difference between cured and remission is a state if mind. I am cured because even if something were to pop it's evil head up again at some point in my life I would know what to do and how to deal with it and Crohn's will NEVER rule my life again and that is what I mean by cured.
this heartbreaks me, I will be diagnosed very soon with this and Im in pain daily and in discomfort...All I do is workout and eat clean, I will defeat this disease!!!!
That is how I am feeling too wallah. Not sure why I’ve been diagnosed, spent countless nights in tears wondering why me. May Allah SWT heal us both if not in this world, then the next.
Omg me too!!! I have ulcerative colitis. The medications were destroying me. I follow Dr Peter Osborne’s “No Grain No Pain” protocol. (It also eliminates dairy.)
I'm getting closer and closer to my goal every day: climb Pike's Peak and start to overcome my disease. This video gives me even more hope to summit EVERY 14er in Colorado once I get my body in check. Thank you for this. SO much motivation!
you inspired me a lot, I don't have Crohn disease, but I had anemia and weakness I haven't found cause. No matter what made me feel not so good, I'm now back on track! Thank you a lot for sharing this WONDERFUL STORY OF LIFE!!!
Absolutely! It's an incredible story. What I'm hearing is that yoga, plant based and lots of cardio helped you tremendously. I am in the same fight. I'm very happy for you God bless
I've had crohn's for 15 years with 30+ surgeries (ostomy bag for 1 year and several feet of my small intestines removed). I've been on several biologics and a sleu of other drugs. None of which address the actual problem. I can relate to where you are physically and mentally. I have been in remission for 3 years now and on zero medication. It takes extreme discipline and a positive attitude (something that is almost impossilbe when you are at your lowest) . What worked for me over the last 3 years was taking daily ice baths and using a sauna everyday. I also do intermittent fasting everyday and eat only one meal a day. It gives your GI tract time to rest and heal. The pharmaceutical companies don't make any money curing you. To date, I have ran several half marathons. It's possible to do what he is professing, but it is definitely not an easy road. Just know that you can heal from this disease. Check out a documentary called Fasting.
@@ThanksWyatti’m a fasting coach and I’ve doing intermittent fasting for almost 5 years. I used intermittent fasting to become a healthier version of me and losing 30kg. I have ulcerative colitis but I have never thought that it’s curable. Today after months of feeling unwell, I said to myself “I’m gonna cure this” Stumped upon this video and read your comment reply (although it’s unusual for me to read comment replies). This is not a coincidence Thank you ❤
@@shadaalshawwa I wish you great success. You can take control of this disease. Look into daily ice baths and sauna usage. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but it removes the inflammation from your body as well as a bunch of other benefits. Stay strong. Also, If I feel a potential flare coming on, I fast for at least three days straight and it always knocks it out. You got this!
I train cardio 3/4 days a week, eat a mostly plant-based diet (I occasionally indulge in chicken), as well as avoiding lactose, caffeine and alcohol. I suffer with Crohn's Disease and my lifestyle hasn't changed that. Don't get me wrong. I'm healthier than I was back when I ate like your average early-20s single guy (at least in terms of energy levels) but I still have regular pain and inflammation. I'm glad this has worked for him but it makes me sad that some people can actually beat the illness with lifestyle while others will suffer regardless.
Keep at it brother it can take years, I recommend going full vegan and getting your protein from HEMP, this way you can still gain muscle size and not become a stick while being full vegan, do this for 6 months and I GUARANTEE you will look better, feel better and be a better person. I also recommend doing high intensity resistance training for 50 mins 5x a week and then running or swimming for 15-20 mins at low intensity after your high intensity workout. Do this regimen for 6 months and not only will you look better feel better and be better but you will also be shredded
Are you taking lactose free dairy? Caseins can get into the blood whole there's a form called casomorphins they are an opiate which is why dairy before bed can mess with your dreams. A doc name I forget noticed the high volume of Crohn's sufferers with a mental disorder such as ADD, ADHD, Aspergers (which I have). So Gluten and Caseins, for me at least are out. I'd suggest soy cheese, almond milk etc, nothing from a cow. Don't get me wrong I haven't started my diet yet and am a noob but the guy that provided my info says everyone is different, keep a diary and note foods eaten prior to a flare up.
Lucas Williams Have you by any chance tried yoga/meditation as well? Looks like in order to beat the disease Mr Meisel has had to successfully manage his feelings and perception towards his body, as well as going on an appropriately nourishing diet and exercising. It appears by focusing on the positive capabilities of his mind and body, he has been able to overcome the negatives. I wish the same for you. Cheers and all the best!
For me, a combination of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (complete elimination of complex carbohydrates to starve overgrown bacterias off), kefir and other probiotics, meditation, dealing with repressed anger and "poor me"/victim/self-hating and fear based thoughts (an incomplete endeavor still! :P ) as well as getting as much easily absorbable nutrition as possible from bone broth etc and completely eliminating processed foods took the pain away. Tumeric and oregano oil can help when its bad. I was allergic to immune suppressing drugs so pretty desperate for a solution since the Crohn's was serious like it is for us all. Yup, it was quite an effort but definitely worth it. After a year of that, I was really feeling healed, though I am still careful. I understand it can be so hard and the answer is a bit different for everyone. I'd recommend starting with a food journal you may have one already! I wish you all the best on your healing journey! You'll get there.
Hello Ari ,i have a question for you, i,m fighting crohn,s for 18 years now .they removed half of my intestants, and already have a colonstomy for 9 years.where do you find the energy to do sports?i used to a professional sportsman. After loosing twice al my mucsles. It,s very hard to train again.whit loosing al my mucsles ,i mean going from 100kg to 48 kg.
Hi, I am so glad I've found this video... I saw it a few years ago and... then I was looking for it via TED but I could not find it any more :( I think you would like to know that your speech inspired my son and he has amazing results :))) I am so glad that I can say THANK YOU! I hope you are still well :) Thanks!
I was diagnosed in 2006 aftre falling ill in India and believing to have caught a bug. After severe weight loss and many tests my great doctor said 'Crohn's' and sent me to a specialist who found hundreds of ulcers in my intestine. I didn't panic, I asked what I should eat and she gave me the basic outline. She also prescribed a huge pill to take six times a day, or granules to sprinkle over all food. I chose to eliminate problem food instead of medecines and began testing what were triggers. I have been really ill to the point of suicidal thoughts but when I am well, the sky is the limit. I suffered from migraine from childhood and it only got worse as I got older but one day it just stopped when I gave up my ultra busy career and took a back seat. I remember the days when the migraine went and how fabulously great I felt and I would get so much done. Same thing with Crohn's. I am going into hospital in September to have part of my intestine removed which should help a lot. I don't complain about it, it is what it is.
I am 100% right there with you! I too had debilitating UC until I completely changed my diet and took on a daily Yoga practice. It took some time to figure out what foods tore up my insides and what yoga poses really helped. I have gone the natural route since 2008. Healthy eating and Yoga all the way! Our bodies want to be well we just need to figure out how to help them along the path!
I was on pentaza originally (did nothing), busesonide put me in remission (no side effects except frequent hunger, which was good because I hadn't eaten for 6 months) , 6MP kept me in remission (no side effects) for 5 years, then had minor flare, but was fixed with budesonide and put on remicade. This kept me in remission for 6 years. Had a flare starting in January, fixed with budesonide. Now I'm tapering off of it and let's hope all goes well 😊
Ellie, I was just diagnosed in March, though having symptoms since Sept of last year. I'm taking Pentasa 3gr/day and feel better even after stopping prednisone a month ago. I confess that I'm afraid, though, since many people, including my American doctor - the lighter protocol is from my Brazilian doctor - say that Pentasa is not enough. This is so confusing!
Ana Paula Cota I believe that a good diet, daily training, a positive mindset and believing that you have the power to control the curing of your disease is the key. Good luck and I wish you the best!
I love my girl of 6 years and so much of the coping I did and time I spent alone played a huge part in it. The bathroom time anxiety over the bathroom , it’s so frustrating. Work is very hard too
Ari, I to have beat Crohn's twice in my life. Same reports no Crohn's found. However it keeps coming back. Just had my third surgery for Crohn's and cancer was found at the site of my Crohn's (small intestine) which I was told is very rare. The cancer was removed (stage 2) and now I am working on beating both cancer and Crohn's and I believe I will do it and again get an all clear report in the near future. Diet and mindset an must and now I going to add exercise to the recovery plan.
So how did he cure his disease? He was only off meds for one year, which is far too soon to say the disease won't come back. This happens with cancer all the time, but usually when the disease comes back a second time, it's far worse. I hope this guy is still in remission.
@@TP-yw6hj of course because its a mindset he was in for years...his mindset is different...when he has a big loss in his life and looks back thats when the choice comes..either fall back into that mindset or stay where he is...long term fear and guilt leads to this disease imo
Great speech an life experience. If you could tell me how you were able to work and keep health insurance while doing this. Having crohns for 15 years always thought I could try something like this. With no energy and drive after working 40 - 50 hrs a week never could pull it off. any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Ok! Thank you thank you, for this video. I was diagnosed with IBSIBD and possibly Crohn’s disease and chronic inflammation of the stomach. I had to cut everything out EVERYTHING OUT of my diet yes!! Yoga! And food is important you have to replace everything my friend I lost 26 pounds in 3 weeks my family and friends were in disbelief I wasn’t trying to lose the weight it just fell off and the pain was literally gone! I am praying you will be ok my breaking point was 3 weeks ago in the hospital for 2 days I thought I wouldn’t make it out alive I remember the pain being so bad I was asking people in emergency department to please help me that’s when I thought I’d die there an never see my kids and husband that changed me forever stay healthy friend.
My husband has Crohn's. He loves salads but it destroys his gut every time. How did you stop the severe pain? How did you teach your body to accept the leafy greens? My husband has been trying for years and he just cannot overcome the pain.
Too late for a comment on this. But, I will try anyway. Like your husband, I cannot eat any greens uncooked. But, I can eat most things when cooked. Cauliflowers and cabbages are exceptions.
A positive mentality is no doubt going to help but let’s not act like we can wish away Disease and Illness. There’s really only so much a positive mindset can do
Incredibile. But how do you manage to do intense sport while having digestive issues?? My God, everytime I try to run for 15 Mins my digestive symtoms Will flare and i Will get sick for the next 4 days! Could somebody please help me? 🙏 Lot of love ❤️
This actually made me very emotional as i am suffering from crohn's disease and i would love to be at the stage where you are! You have achieved so much dude that not many people will recognise or understand so well done. I too hope to be at the stage you are at in a few years. I just need to get my head straight, after two operations and lots of problems im at the lowest possible point in my life after dropping out of university. I need to stop stressing, worrying about things but i cant :(
Glad excercise worked for you. However, Crohn's Disease effects everyone differently, I have been told by my professor of 50 years that I have one of the most serious cases he has ever seen. I am now 24 years old. Had bowel surgery at 18, left with a colostomy for a year, ileostomy for another year and then finally the reversal. At the age of 21 I was 48kg, when I decided I needed to change, I started going to the gym and now train 6 times a week, currently weighing 77kg. Continued..
This was an incredibly inspiring video, thank you so much Ari! I am going to try it all! I had pancreatitis as a symptom/complication of Crohn’s and still dealing with the discomfort months later. Has anyone else had this symptom?
Ari great story! Have the patients you worked with also seen no inflammation in their colonoscopy? A while back I signed up for your guide for what you did. Is there any way I can get it?
Having a incurable illness like Crohn’s disease is no easy thing to go through. Fortunately I don’t have it at all. However unfortunately I have a friend of mine who has this incurable illness and it’s a heavy burden and a heavy cross for him. He’s had this incurable illness since he was 16 years old and how did he get it? He got it from his grandfather. So now, he’s constantly on medication daily. My hope is that he’ll be miraculously cured, healed and recovered.
I’m 23 years old and have had a diagnosis of crohns since the summer of 2019 but even have a fistula back in 2015, went undiagnosed till 2019. I really don’t want to do any biologics because of the side effects and increased chances of other illness. Is it possible to solve Crohns without the assistance of biologics? If so, has anyone had luck other than Ari in the video? What did you do to reach remission?
Would you please add good quality captions with proper punctuation, speaker identification, sound description, etc? Auto captions are not of acceptable quality. Thanks!
I wish I could get rid of this disease going on 19yrs….I diet, I exercise, I avoid trigger foods and alcohol. I’m so happy you found relief and remission.
I don't know if you will ever see this, it an old video but the hate comments can stop, I was diagnosed with Crohn's at age 12. Im 15 now I've been on different medications, currently one Humira, I hate it. I hate that its the only thing i rely on. I need to start relying on my self and how I take control of my body. I want to do this but i have no motivation. My whole opinion will change tomorrow and ill go back to eating like a high school student would. It's hard seeing everyone so perfect not having to worry about when the next flair up is not needed to worry about what rashes will pop up on my skin. if anyone sees this I need help, I need motivation, I want off of all medication. I want to be a normal kid.
I have lymphocytic colitis, which is similar to Crohn's. I didn't go as far as this guy did, but I did start bodybuilding and doing some limited cardio 9 months ago. I no longer spend the first 4 hours each morning in the toilet every 20 minutes. Fitness does make a difference.
I'm glad this worked for you. It doesn't work for everyone with Crohn's. It is incurable. You have achieved remission, congrats. I hope it lasts for you.
I completely agree! Thank you so much for this video. For those of us who obsessively research, listen to our bodies, change our diets, and never give up, certainly these diseases are curable! I have been medication free (and learned a ton getting there) for 5 years despite the "incurable" Crohn's. I did yoga and then teacher training after all that too :) Good for you for taking it further to endurance sports, and being such a hopeful example.
I have to say that as somebody in the middle of a Crohn's flare, there's so much I've done over the past few years that probably brought it on. I should know better by now. I was in remission the last 15 years or so... but recently I've been overworking, stressed out and pulled into family drama (huge mistake, this is what triggered things for me initially), and generally leave myself with no energy by the end of the day for self care other than collapsing into bed for an uncomfortable night of "sleep." Something has to change. Medication might help a little but it won't do the job all by itself.
I feel you , I have OCD I think too much and loud noises irritates me so much and give me anxiety . I am suffering , pentasa and steroids loose their effectiveness as soon as I stress .
Can totally relate to this! I have been down a long road of trying a lot of things that didnt work before a plant based diet and stress reduction transformed my life, allowing me to get off all meds, and thrive with my new life after Crohns Disease!
I suffered so much with this for 13 years !!! And honestly I'm to the point that I don't know what foods are good or bad ..and of course not eating makes it worse as well.. I'm so over this
From personal experience i don't think there is a one diet that suits all. I have Crohn's and can successfully stay in remission by eating meat, oil, rice, oats, eggs & lots of spices and herbs I also eat coconut, onion, garlic, ginger, chilli which i find is beneficial to me. All other veg is too high in fibre and causes a flare. I also have to avoid all other grains, Sugar in every form including sweeteners, alcohol, fruit. Can't have any Beans including cocoa or coffee beans or dairy but can have small amounts of homemade Nut milk that have been pre-soaked.
That’s great for him, he found a solution and it worked for him. I have also been looking for a natural solution by trial and error. If something doesn’t work, I remove it from my regimen and keep experimenting.
As someone who has Crohn’s disease and has had it for over 10 years (since I was 11) I’m finally going to be coming off medication in April 2020 and I’m so happy to be returning to a form of normality
@@isaacmoges3621 personally I smoke and use Cannabis for myself which helps a lot. Went from needing multiple tablets/pills every morning/night to needing none whatsoever. Obviously I can’t speak for what will work for your son, but I would very much recommend looking into Cannabis based treatments as they have a known history of helping people who suffer from Crohn’s. I’ve gone from being underweight and not being able to eat a single thing without throwing up to now being a completely healthy weight, I eat multiple full portion meals everyday and have zero issue anymore. My main advice though is to seek out different cannabis based treatments and always be prepared to take your own initiative. Crohn’s is still very much an unknown illness in that they don’t know exactly what causes it or how to stop it, so taking my own way ways the only way that really worked for me and it worked out well. I hope things work out for your son
I don't think it is about you. It's about him. What you do is your business. He is sharing his triumph. Anger towards him or anyone is NOT good for your physical body. Look at it as a reflection of his hard work. He accomplished an amazing thing. That is not a statement about you at all. I say this with kindness not anger. I understand chronic illness as I too suffered and healed myself.
My current day life is currently dictated by Crohn’s disease, and has been since march of 2021. I’ve fought many battles, have gone through the worst days of my life, I’ve gone through 3 different treatments and have just been told by my doctor it seems the 4th has not done anything for you. Today I will start the toughest journey of all, reclaiming my life. I plan to return to this comment with time and respond to it saying “I have beat Crohn’s”.
Throwing this out there. I am looking for what I thought was a TED talk. I can only remember it was a female world class martial artist that had crohn's disease. She was older and she talks about how she started to change her diet to help her start to live a more normal life. Does this ring a bell for anyone. I am trying to find it for someone and can't find it anywhere. Starting to think I am going crazy. Please help if you can.
Recently diagnosed w crohns at 42. Supposed to start remicade and methotrexate next Friday. Kind of having some anxiety about it but I need to start feeling better. They recommend not stopping once I start. Even when I’m in remission so … I dunno. This situation sucks. I don’t even like taking headache medicine.
Wish I had the time. Can't even work enough to pay back my surgery....unaware my stomach was having its own issue, ano fistula to cramps and a blown up stomach...... I'm stuck and broke
Hi im 38 old and im suffering form this disease that began at 14 years old. Always in pain... I need more detail on how to heal from this. What i need to do, eat,... If some one read this and have the answer plz just don't scroll the wheel and help plz! Thanks!
Try SCD diet, study it. This diet helps many people, but you have to commit fully, even 1 year. I am 35 and already diagnosis (colonscopy next week but im preety sure it's crohn (huge inflamation in small bowel), but I have no symptoms, exept little abdonomal pain 2 weeks ago and few times a day. is it possible to live with this disease ? acomplish goals etc ? What your experiance ? How oftern flares and remission ? All The Best.
@@rAF-jz1yn Thanks for reply. For me that ruin my adolescency. No treatment works until remicade help. But for how much time. I need to cure that if something possible. I was unable to do nothing . School was a permanent pain... Now with remicade i can work amd do some real life but no days are the same. Sorry French is my primary language. When season change i got a really bad time after is ok but we got 4 season change lol. Good luck!
I'm one of those people that sweat all the small stuff.. I don't try to, I really don't but they just eat at me. I don't fly off the handle or anything but they just get my insides turning. I know that it's taking a toll on me but no matter how hard I try, i just can't not sweat the small things that ultimately don't matter because I can't fix everything. I'm getting on mushrooms to help take that edge off and easy my mind and my body. It's not exactly what I want but I think it's what I need. Thank you for the inspiring video. I know there's a cure for our IBD spite what everyone's saying, I can feel that in my gut.
There is a cure bro we just don't know yet. Try yoga it helps a lot . Recently there is break through in hiv and cancer. Hiv vaccine in trial with 90 % success rate . There will be a vaccine for cancer by 2030 . I really hope there will be a permanent cure for Crohn's and colitis.
Med fact : IBD has extra intestinal manifestation of diffuse structure in CBD which he says as liver failure, EN in skin , renal calculi, arthritis are the common manifestations
daughter diagnosed with severe cronh's at 7 years old. She is now 13 doing great. Luckily we have a great nutritionist at UCLA turned us onto the SCD diet and visbiome probiotic. Her Calprotectin tests were always off the charts until she did the SCD diet now her Calprtectin is in the safe zone Diet plays a huge roll had no idea how big
Got diagnosed with Chron’s about a week ago now. I’m 24 years old, came out of nowhere. Does anybody have recommendations for what i should do with my diet, exercise, & supplements? I’m reading a book on Chron’s & UC, I’m researching vitamins & nutrition info, but I’m scared. Anyone have books, idea’s, insight as well? I’m also worried about certain types of cancer. My colonoscopy confirms I have it.
from what I know, it is better to avoid dairy, beans, fatty meats, raw veggies, chocolate, alcohol, processed foods. Choose cooked veggies, white rice, potatoes, fish, avocado. If you are able begin with some walks then try to aplly to yoga classes, it helps to battle stress and the poses work our inside parts. Wish you the best.
I am also suffered over 20 years. I had often thought it makes my life sucks. But it is not. I could have more will than others because of penalty by crohn's disease. To get its penalty over, I have challenged many time if falling down, just getting up once more. unless getting worsen, I hope I would do more things in this life. most precious thing is healthy for me.
This video gave me hope.

Stress is such an enormous factor.
Respect to you. I have Crohn Disease since i was 21 . I am 36 now i hope one day i will be drug free , but i am still taking 7-8 pills every day . It sucks...
I agree stress does flare you up, the pain is horrendous when it flares, cant lay comfortably at all. Spend hours at a time in a hot bath pulling the plug when it gets colder and refilling it, was in bath in total for 6 hours one morning, thankyou for your video
I think thats the majority of my diagnoses in 2015. trying to get off remicade.
Ever since I've stressed more notice these stomach issues came along an in only 22
Katie-Jo Sorry to hear that... I’ve had the same problem. The way I did was to put a hot “microwave wheat bag” on my stomach. It worked really good for me, so my recommendation for you is to try it out! Hope everything works out well for you!
As anyone with a chronic illness can tell you, a day of relief is a breath of fresh air. I'm happy to report that I have been medicine free and pain free for nearly 5 years at this point. To me the difference between cured and remission is a state if mind. I am cured because even if something were to pop it's evil head up again at some point in my life I would know what to do and how to deal with it and Crohn's will NEVER rule my life again and that is what I mean by cured.

Hi Ari, Please can you tell me what you included in your lifestyle that made you help Cure Chrons?
Leila Benzerfa he is the guy in this video where he details what he does for “curing Crohn’s”
Ari Meisel how r u right now?? Is it really work??
I'm suffering from crohn's too
Hi!!! will you please tell me the names of yoga poses you did.. please.
I love this video so much. To hear the words from somebody who can truly empathize and sympathize is so fulfilling.
Wow! This is such hope! Currently enduring a flare up. I love this thank you so much!
It's amazing what yoga, exercise and diet can do; people underestimate the healing properties of our bodies.
Any exercise helps. Even stretching and walking/running/jogging/cycling/swimming will help.
Crohn's is an incurable disease... as he said in the video.
@@katyaa6556 that’s what they want you to think.
this heartbreaks me, I will be diagnosed very soon with this and Im in pain daily and in discomfort...All I do is workout and eat clean, I will defeat this disease!!!!
crohn's damaged every plan I've made
How are you now brother? I stopped medicine im going to use thc oil they say it cures. Vital Hids on TH-cam. May Allah give you healing ameen
@@asnwoa8280 I stopped all except pentasa, trying probiotics too
hope it heals
That is how I am feeling too wallah. Not sure why I’ve been diagnosed, spent countless nights in tears wondering why me. May Allah SWT heal us both if not in this world, then the next.

Please tell me how
Your number pls

removed grains, dairy and very limited processed sugar. drug free, symptom free
@RavenArrowz removed only grains, not all the carbs. And I guess, she/he meant only gluten containing grains, not all the grains.
Omg me too!!! I have ulcerative colitis. The medications were destroying me. I follow Dr Peter Osborne’s “No Grain No Pain” protocol. (It also eliminates dairy.)
@RavenArrowz not quite.... it’s more of an anti-inflammatory diet

Thanks for sharing your experience. It helps those who are going through the same conditions.
Hi,How are you doing now ?
I'm getting closer and closer to my goal every day: climb Pike's Peak and start to overcome my disease. This video gives me even more hope to summit EVERY 14er in Colorado once I get my body in check.
Thank you for this. SO much motivation!
you inspired me a lot, I don't have Crohn disease, but I had anemia and weakness I haven't found cause. No matter what made me feel not so good, I'm now back on track! Thank you a lot for sharing this WONDERFUL STORY OF LIFE!!!
You gave me so much hope ❤️
This is super inspirational! Thank you!!
Thank you addressing this...yes, it impacts your social and intimate life, causes intense anxiety and isolation
What markers did you use to help you decide to finally come off the medication after having started your healing regime?
Absolutely! It's an incredible story. What I'm hearing is that yoga, plant based and lots of cardio helped you tremendously. I am in the same fight. I'm very happy for you God bless
me too bro, pm me so we can be pen pals and beat this all together
I've had crohn's for 15 years with 30+ surgeries (ostomy bag for 1 year and several feet of my small intestines removed). I've been on several biologics and a sleu of other drugs. None of which address the actual problem. I can relate to where you are physically and mentally. I have been in remission for 3 years now and on zero medication. It takes extreme discipline and a positive attitude (something that is almost impossilbe when you are at your lowest) . What worked for me over the last 3 years was taking daily ice baths and using a sauna everyday. I also do intermittent fasting everyday and eat only one meal a day. It gives your GI tract time to rest and heal. The pharmaceutical companies don't make any money curing you. To date, I have ran several half marathons. It's possible to do what he is professing, but it is definitely not an easy road. Just know that you can heal from this disease. Check out a documentary called Fasting.
@@ThanksWyattdo you eat regularly or are you plant based as well?
@@ThanksWyatti’m a fasting coach and I’ve doing intermittent fasting for almost 5 years. I used intermittent fasting to become a healthier version of me and losing 30kg. I have ulcerative colitis but I have never thought that it’s curable.
Today after months of feeling unwell, I said to myself “I’m gonna cure this”
Stumped upon this video and read your comment reply (although it’s unusual for me to read comment replies). This is not a coincidence
Thank you ❤
@@shadaalshawwa I wish you great success. You can take control of this disease. Look into daily ice baths and sauna usage. I know it sounds kind of crazy, but it removes the inflammation from your body as well as a bunch of other benefits. Stay strong. Also, If I feel a potential flare coming on, I fast for at least three days straight and it always knocks it out. You got this!
My husband has been using these CBD Products from Weedborn and is extremely delighted.
I hope he is doing well.
Can you recommend some please
Bravo! I can’t help but wonder if the Standard American Diet (SAD) if a contributory factor.
I have Ulcerative colitis another form of IBD, can I contact you?
I train cardio 3/4 days a week, eat a mostly plant-based diet (I occasionally indulge in chicken), as well as avoiding lactose, caffeine and alcohol. I suffer with Crohn's Disease and my lifestyle hasn't changed that. Don't get me wrong. I'm healthier than I was back when I ate like your average early-20s single guy (at least in terms of energy levels) but I still have regular pain and inflammation. I'm glad this has worked for him but it makes me sad that some people can actually beat the illness with lifestyle while others will suffer regardless.
Keep at it brother it can take years, I recommend going full vegan and getting your protein from HEMP, this way you can still gain muscle size and not become a stick while being full vegan, do this for 6 months and I GUARANTEE you will look better, feel better and be a better person. I also recommend doing high intensity resistance training for 50 mins 5x a week and then running or swimming for 15-20 mins at low intensity after your high intensity workout. Do this regimen for 6 months and not only will you look better feel better and be better but you will also be shredded
Are you taking lactose free dairy? Caseins can get into the blood whole there's a form called casomorphins they are an opiate which is why dairy before bed can mess with your dreams. A doc name I forget noticed the high volume of Crohn's sufferers with a mental disorder such as ADD, ADHD, Aspergers (which I have). So Gluten and Caseins, for me at least are out. I'd suggest soy cheese, almond milk etc, nothing from a cow. Don't get me wrong I haven't started my diet yet and am a noob but the guy that provided my info says everyone is different, keep a diary and note foods eaten prior to a flare up.
Lucas Williams Have you by any chance tried yoga/meditation as well? Looks like in order to beat the disease Mr Meisel has had to successfully manage his feelings and perception towards his body, as well as going on an appropriately nourishing diet and exercising. It appears by focusing on the positive capabilities of his mind and body, he has been able to overcome the negatives. I wish the same for you. Cheers and all the best!
Lucas Williams please believe me when I say that the cure is the sun light, 20 min a day and you'll see the changes
For me, a combination of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (complete elimination of complex carbohydrates to starve overgrown bacterias off), kefir and other probiotics, meditation, dealing with repressed anger and "poor me"/victim/self-hating and fear based thoughts (an incomplete endeavor still! :P ) as well as getting as much easily absorbable nutrition as possible from bone broth etc and completely eliminating processed foods took the pain away. Tumeric and oregano oil can help when its bad. I was allergic to immune suppressing drugs so pretty desperate for a solution since the Crohn's was serious like it is for us all. Yup, it was quite an effort but definitely worth it. After a year of that, I was really feeling healed, though I am still careful. I understand it can be so hard and the answer is a bit different for everyone. I'd recommend starting with a food journal you may have one already! I wish you all the best on your healing journey! You'll get there.
Hello Ari ,i have a question for you, i,m fighting crohn,s for 18 years now .they removed half of my intestants, and already have a colonstomy for 9 years.where do you find the energy to do sports?i used to a professional sportsman.

Hi,
I am so glad I've found this video... I saw it a few years ago and... then I was looking for it via TED but I could not find it any more :(
I think you would like to know that your speech inspired my son and he has amazing results :)))
I am so glad that I can say THANK YOU!
I hope you are still well :)
Thanks!
Awesome I needed this today thank you
@Ari Meisel can you tell me what did you monitor while you were treating yourself?
Thanks and keep that strong mind and body forever!
I was diagnosed in 2006 aftre falling ill in India and believing to have caught a bug. After severe weight loss and many tests my great doctor said 'Crohn's' and sent me to a specialist who found hundreds of ulcers in my intestine. I didn't panic, I asked what I should eat and she gave me the basic outline. She also prescribed a huge pill to take six times a day, or granules to sprinkle over all food. I chose to eliminate problem food instead of medecines and began testing what were triggers. I have been really ill to the point of suicidal thoughts but when I am well, the sky is the limit. I suffered from migraine from childhood and it only got worse as I got older but one day it just stopped when I gave up my ultra busy career and took a back seat. I remember the days when the migraine went and how fabulously great I felt and I would get so much done. Same thing with Crohn's. I am going into hospital in September to have part of my intestine removed which should help a lot. I don't complain about it, it is what it is.
I am a crohnie too. Sending hugs 🫂
Going through same stage
I am 100% right there with you! I too had debilitating UC until I completely changed my diet and took on a daily Yoga practice. It took some time to figure out what foods tore up my insides and what yoga poses really helped. I have gone the natural route since 2008. Healthy eating and Yoga all the way! Our bodies want to be well we just need to figure out how to help them along the path!
Can you tell me what foods you ate ?
Yes, please. I eat healthy but have symptoms. What diet do you follow?
I am having a bad UC Flare up right now. What type of foods should I avoid. I mean I never eat junk food but it still came back.
I was on pentaza originally (did nothing), busesonide put me in remission (no side effects except frequent hunger, which was good because I hadn't eaten for 6 months) , 6MP kept me in remission (no side effects) for 5 years, then had minor flare, but was fixed with budesonide and put on remicade. This kept me in remission for 6 years. Had a flare starting in January, fixed with budesonide. Now I'm tapering off of it and let's hope all goes well 😊
hi
i just wanted to know if u r a smoker and do you drink or not ?
Awesome news, 3 years later, hope you are travelling well?
Ellie, I was just diagnosed in March, though having symptoms since Sept of last year. I'm taking Pentasa 3gr/day and feel better even after stopping prednisone a month ago. I confess that I'm afraid, though, since many people, including my American doctor - the lighter protocol is from my Brazilian doctor - say that Pentasa is not enough. This is so confusing!
Ana Paula Cota I believe that a good diet, daily training, a positive mindset and believing that you have the power to control the curing of your disease is the key. Good luck and I wish you the best!
6mp gave me inflammation of the pancreas at at age 13. Diet and exercise have been the best for me. Keto and SCD
I love my girl of 6 years and so much of the coping I did and time I spent alone played a huge part in it. The bathroom time anxiety over the bathroom , it’s so frustrating. Work is very hard too
Brilliant, so clear message to get up and get active
Ari,
I to have beat Crohn's twice in my life. Same reports no Crohn's found.
However it keeps coming back. Just had my third surgery for Crohn's and cancer
was found at the site of my Crohn's (small intestine) which I was told is very rare.
The cancer was removed (stage 2) and now I am working on beating both cancer and Crohn's and I believe I will do it and again get an all clear report in the near future.
Diet and mindset an must and now I going to add exercise to the recovery plan.

This is called remission.
Todd Schuh thank you
Yep
That’s what the doctors want you to believe, I call it “ Gods gift to taking care of your body” 👌🏽
@@tiffanywatson3107 Isn't it your god causing us all this suffering? My grandfather died because of a similar disease. Was that god's plan too?
If you can control when you go into remission and remain in remission for the rest of your life, then that's as good as cured for me.
i wonder what yoga practices did Arie Meisel do and for how much duration to heal himself....
So how did he cure his disease? He was only off meds for one year, which is far too soon to say the disease won't come back. This happens with cancer all the time, but usually when the disease comes back a second time, it's far worse. I hope this guy is still in remission.
He's just in remission. There is no cure right now besides the triple antibiotic combo.
@@TP-yw6hj of course because its a mindset he was in for years...his mindset is different...when he has a big loss in his life and looks back thats when the choice comes..either fall back into that mindset or stay where he is...long term fear and guilt leads to this disease imo
@@TP-yw6hjwhat’s the triple antibiotic combo ????
clarithromycin, rifabutin and clofazimine
Great speech an life experience. If you could tell me how you were able to work and keep health insurance while doing this. Having crohns for 15 years always thought I could try something like this. With no energy and drive after working 40 - 50 hrs a week never could pull it off. any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Ever get an answer to your question? I know its been 5years, that just so happens to be the exact same thing I was thinking
I was cured of this disease with herbs
So thankful for this video I been telling my future wife about ways on her beating this disease thus guy is living proof 💪🏾🧠💬🏃🏾♂️
thank you for giving me hope
My son complains his stomach hurts after eating or drinking water. Every meal affects him. Some worse than others. Hopefully we can figure it out
Ok! Thank you thank you, for this video.
I was diagnosed with IBSIBD and possibly Crohn’s disease and chronic inflammation of the stomach. I had to cut everything out EVERYTHING OUT of my diet yes!! Yoga! And food is important you have to replace everything my friend I lost 26 pounds in 3 weeks my family and friends were in disbelief I wasn’t trying to lose the weight it just fell off and the pain was literally gone! I am praying you will be ok my breaking point was 3 weeks ago in the hospital for 2 days I thought I wouldn’t make it out alive I remember the pain being so bad I was asking people in emergency department to please help me that’s when I thought I’d die there an never see my kids and husband that changed me forever stay healthy friend.
My husband has Crohn's. He loves salads but it destroys his gut every time. How did you stop the severe pain? How did you teach your body to accept the leafy greens? My husband has been trying for years and he just cannot overcome the pain.
Too late for a comment on this. But, I will try anyway. Like your husband, I cannot eat any greens uncooked. But, I can eat most things when cooked. Cauliflowers and cabbages are exceptions.
I believe mentality is part of journey for you to heal. That is, you convince yourself to heal.
A positive mentality is no doubt going to help but let’s not act like we can wish away Disease and Illness. There’s really only so much a positive mindset can do
Incredibile.
But how do you manage to do intense sport while having digestive issues?? My God, everytime I try to run for 15 Mins my digestive symtoms Will flare and i Will get sick for the next 4 days!
Could somebody please help me? 🙏
Lot of love ❤️
This actually made me very emotional as i am suffering from crohn's disease and i would love to be at the stage where you are! You have achieved so much dude that not many people will recognise or understand so well done. I too hope to be at the stage you are at in a few years. I just need to get my head straight, after two operations and lots of problems im at the lowest possible point in my life after dropping out of university. I need to stop stressing, worrying about things but i cant :(
Hi, how are you doing now? Wish you all the love
Responding to a comment from 10 years ago 😅 hope that in those 10 years you feel allot better!
Glad excercise worked for you. However, Crohn's Disease effects everyone differently, I have been told by my professor of 50 years that I have one of the most serious cases he has ever seen. I am now 24 years old. Had bowel surgery at 18, left with a colostomy for a year, ileostomy for another year and then finally the reversal. At the age of 21 I was 48kg, when I decided I needed to change, I started going to the gym and now train 6 times a week, currently weighing 77kg. Continued..
Continue...
How are you doing now
How are you doing now buddy
What is your height?
RIP :(
I am on Biologics and am told to not go swimming because of chance of infection. How did you accomplish triathlon being on immunosuppressive meds?
Let us pray for the success of"map vaccine for chrones"
So 11 years later what is your status? For better or worse has your lifestyle changed. I was not to long ago diagnosed.
Thank you very much!
You’re welcome
This was an incredibly inspiring video, thank you so much Ari! I am going to try it all! I had pancreatitis as a symptom/complication of Crohn’s and still dealing with the discomfort months later. Has anyone else had this symptom?
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story. All the best!
Ari great story! Have the patients you worked with also seen no inflammation in their colonoscopy? A while back I signed up for your guide for what you did. Is there any way I can get it?
Having a incurable illness like Crohn’s disease is no easy thing to go through. Fortunately I don’t have it at all. However unfortunately I have a friend of mine who has this incurable illness and it’s a heavy burden and a heavy cross for him. He’s had this incurable illness since he was 16 years old and how did he get it? He got it from his grandfather. So now, he’s constantly on medication daily. My hope is that he’ll be miraculously cured, healed and recovered.
It's not incurable. This guy got rid of it so it's not incurable.
I’m 23 years old and have had a diagnosis of crohns since the summer of 2019 but even have a fistula back in 2015, went undiagnosed till 2019.
I really don’t want to do any biologics because of the side effects and increased chances of other illness.
Is it possible to solve Crohns without the assistance of biologics? If so, has anyone had luck other than Ari in the video? What did you do to reach remission?
did you get surgery for the fistula?
Would you please add good quality captions with proper punctuation, speaker identification, sound description, etc? Auto captions are not of acceptable quality. Thanks!
How are you doing now ?
There's no reason why it should be an insult, I'm simply sharing the story of a journey I'm sorry if that offends you.
Are you still in remission? Curious to know!

Thank you for this video
I don't know if you will ever see this, it an old video but the hate comments can stop, I was diagnosed with Crohn's at age 12. Im 15 now I've been on different medications, currently one Humira, I hate it. I hate that its the only thing i rely on. I need to start relying on my self and how I take control of my body. I want to do this but i have no motivation. My whole opinion will change tomorrow and ill go back to eating like a high school student would. It's hard seeing everyone so perfect not having to worry about when the next flair up is not needed to worry about what rashes will pop up on my skin. if anyone sees this I need help, I need motivation, I want off of all medication. I want to be a normal kid.
Abbie Mundey hey man, check out Kenny Honnas on TH-cam. Trust me
We can do this. Believe and see the change you want to experience. Act on what works consitently

Ari Meisel, How is your health now. Is 100% fit?
I just got diagnosed today. Been in extreme pain sick for yrs etc. I’m hoping to find some relief soon
I have lymphocytic colitis, which is similar to Crohn's. I didn't go as far as this guy did, but I did start bodybuilding and doing some limited cardio 9 months ago. I no longer spend the first 4 hours each morning in the toilet every 20 minutes. Fitness does make a difference.
Did you go vegan or vegetarian? How about processed food? I am a runner but have been unable to continue with such severe symptoms.
I'm glad this worked for you. It doesn't work for everyone with Crohn's. It is incurable. You have achieved remission, congrats. I hope it lasts for you.
He will likely flare after long enough off meds.
Yep.
Every disease has a cure, humans just haven’t found it. This guy might have but don’t say it is incurable.
I am so annoyed with these ambiguous terms. What is “incurable” by your definition?
I completely agree! Thank you so much for this video. For those of us who obsessively research, listen to our bodies, change our diets, and never give up, certainly these diseases are curable! I have been medication free (and learned a ton getting there) for 5 years despite the "incurable" Crohn's. I did yoga and then teacher training after all that too :) Good for you for taking it further to endurance sports, and being such a hopeful example.
HackYourHealth Great response, there is a lot of negativity trying to pick apart what worked for him and it’s refreshing to see the positivity.
What kind of yoga do u do and how many hours per week? Thx
@@goyatea I do it as needed but a pretty gentle breathing focused yoga, and sun salutations
@@HackYourHealth how did you cure it and what do you eat now
@@recepie-house you can watch the videos on my channel for the details of the diet i did....now I eat normal unprocessed foods :)
I have to say that as somebody in the middle of a Crohn's flare, there's so much I've done over the past few years that probably brought it on. I should know better by now. I was in remission the last 15 years or so... but recently I've been overworking, stressed out and pulled into family drama (huge mistake, this is what triggered things for me initially), and generally leave myself with no energy by the end of the day for self care other than collapsing into bed for an uncomfortable night of "sleep."
Something has to change. Medication might help a little but it won't do the job all by itself.
I feel you , I have OCD I think too much and loud noises irritates me so much and give me anxiety . I am suffering , pentasa and steroids loose their effectiveness as soon as I stress .
How are you?
@@noahdean2115 Hanging in there.
What would be a list of things to do. If people that have beat this could make there list here to help others see this
Can totally relate to this! I have been down a long road of trying a lot of things that didnt work before a plant based diet and stress reduction transformed my life, allowing me to get off all meds, and thrive with my new life after Crohns Disease!
How did you get rid of it
Hey, how are you now?
You didn't have Crohn's disease
I suffered so much with this for 13 years !!! And honestly I'm to the point that I don't know what foods are good or bad ..and of course not eating makes it worse as well.. I'm so over this
From personal experience i don't think there is a one diet that suits all. I have Crohn's and can successfully stay in remission by eating meat, oil, rice, oats, eggs & lots of spices and herbs I also eat coconut, onion, garlic, ginger, chilli which i find is beneficial to me. All other veg is too high in fibre and causes a flare. I also have to avoid all other grains, Sugar in every form including sweeteners, alcohol, fruit. Can't have any Beans including cocoa or coffee beans or dairy but can have small amounts of homemade Nut milk that have been pre-soaked.
So can I go to gym and play sports and workout
That’s great for him, he found a solution and it worked for him. I have also been looking for a natural solution by trial and error. If something doesn’t work, I remove it from my regimen and keep experimenting.
As someone who has Crohn’s disease and has had it for over 10 years (since I was 11) I’m finally going to be coming off medication in April 2020 and I’m so happy to be returning to a form of normality
My son just diagnose with Crohn's disease at 10 years of age, can u tell me how u become off of medication?
@@isaacmoges3621 personally I smoke and use Cannabis for myself which helps a lot. Went from needing multiple tablets/pills every morning/night to needing none whatsoever. Obviously I can’t speak for what will work for your son, but I would very much recommend looking into Cannabis based treatments as they have a known history of helping people who suffer from Crohn’s. I’ve gone from being underweight and not being able to eat a single thing without throwing up to now being a completely healthy weight, I eat multiple full portion meals everyday and have zero issue anymore. My main advice though is to seek out different cannabis based treatments and always be prepared to take your own initiative. Crohn’s is still very much an unknown illness in that they don’t know exactly what causes it or how to stop it, so taking my own way ways the only way that really worked for me and it worked out well. I hope things work out for your son
@@isaacmoges3621 let us pray for the success of"map vaccine for chrones"..
I don't think it is about you. It's about him. What you do is your business. He is sharing his triumph. Anger towards him or anyone is NOT good for your physical body. Look at it as a reflection of his hard work. He accomplished an amazing thing. That is not a statement about you at all. I say this with kindness not anger. I understand chronic illness as I too suffered and healed myself.
He didn’t win he lost.
My current day life is currently dictated by Crohn’s disease, and has been since march of 2021. I’ve fought many battles, have gone through the worst days of my life, I’ve gone through 3 different treatments and have just been told by my doctor it seems the 4th has not done anything for you. Today I will start the toughest journey of all, reclaiming my life. I plan to return to this comment with time and respond to it saying “I have beat Crohn’s”.
Wish you the best😊
You can't beat Crohn's, i'm sorry. You can hope for the best: remission.

They recommend not stopping once I start. Even when I’m in remission so … I dunno. This situation sucks. I don’t even like taking headache medicine.
Also, really glad that you are doing so well. Congrats!

When season change i got a really bad time after is ok but we got 4 season change lol.
Good luck!
I'm one of those people that sweat all the small stuff.. I don't try to, I really don't but they just eat at me. I don't fly off the handle or anything but they just get my insides turning.

I'm getting on mushrooms to help take that edge off and easy my mind and my body. It's not exactly what I want but I think it's what I need. Thank you for the inspiring video. I know there's a cure for our IBD spite what everyone's saying, I can feel that in my gut.
There is a cure bro we just don't know yet. Try yoga it helps a lot . Recently there is break through in hiv and cancer. Hiv vaccine in trial with 90 % success rate . There will be a vaccine for cancer by 2030 . I really hope there will be a permanent cure for Crohn's and colitis.

Got diagnosed with Chron’s about a week ago now. I’m 24 years old, came out of nowhere. Does anybody have recommendations for what i should do with my diet, exercise, & supplements?
I’m reading a book on Chron’s & UC, I’m researching vitamins & nutrition info, but I’m scared. Anyone have books, idea’s, insight as well? I’m also worried about certain types of cancer. My colonoscopy confirms I have it.
from what I know, it is better to avoid dairy, beans, fatty meats, raw veggies, chocolate, alcohol, processed foods. Choose cooked veggies, white rice, potatoes, fish, avocado. If you are able begin with some walks then try to aplly to yoga classes, it helps to battle stress and the poses work our inside parts. Wish you the best.
@@ricardoaugusto9925 I’ve heard some of this, yeah, like the dairy! That’s sucks! Appreciate the insight though!
@@cork8843 I am from india,i follow vegetarian diet,free from dairies except curd and use less oil as possible ,also gluten free diet
@@hariharan2966 Nice! Gluten free is smart!
Tank you
Pls can ppl tell me how to beat it BC it's beating me rn
I am also suffered over 20 years. I had often thought it makes my life sucks. But it is not. I could have more will than others because of penalty by crohn's disease. To get its penalty over, I have challenged many time if falling down, just getting up once more.
unless getting worsen, I hope I would do more things in this life. most precious thing is healthy for me.
