What happened to spanish subtitles??
Dr gregger you literally saved my life back in 2013 with your video about the Japaneese research on colitis. It took me 2 years to clear the desease and since then Im on a plant based vegan diet with no drugs on a constant remission. So thanks again.
same here
So happy for You!
It took me 4 years but it worked!!
can you eat ant meat at all?? any eggs?
can you explain how exactly you did it or it's a fake acc? xd
Having UC and going through all the immune suppressing expensive drugs but non of them working, my doctor wanted to remove my colon. With my quality of life plummeting, I found out about eating a plant based diet. I switched immediately. My UC didn't go into remission right away, but other health issues started getting better. I had to temporarily go on a plant based diet high in soluble fiber for about 2 weeks. I went into remission and starting bringing back all other plants into my diet. It hasn't been an easy road. But I would highly recommend this to anyone with really bad UC. I've been in remission for over a year and a half. No more drugs.
In addition to the diet, things that have helped me has been, once in remission for a bit, is exercise. I am now running 3 times a week. Also intermittent fasting, giving your gut time to heal. And cold showers really seem to boost my immune system by calming it down.
Great video. So glad some research is finally coming out!
Good luck all with UC. You can go in remission. I did.
I'm really happy to hear you're doing better. Cheers man.
Even better logically, long term water only fasting of at least one week which help tremendously.
@@lisalouise999
Well cooked vegetables dont have insoluble fibers, they are broken
"We are just not sure how to get his diet more healthy without causing more symptoms"
By eating diet based only on soluble fibers soft foods, low fat, low protein that are known to allow the gut to heal completely in 3 to 6 months like this
th-cam.com/video/OJj0N2NJQYU/w-d-xo.html
or "high carb health" protocol.
@@lisalouise999 I am sorry to hear that. I was plant based for a year and didn't go into remission until I specifically went on a a short term diet of soluble fibers (food like bananas, papaya, yams) it was a hard two weeks, but the key was that your body wants to heal, it CAN heal, you just habe to get out of the way, and let it do its job. Insoluble fibers will scrape the walls and aggravate the symptoms, but soluble fibers will not. It will be a calories deficient diet, so it can't be done for long. I recommend 3 resources. 1. Self Healing Colitis and Crohn's by David Klein (to go in remission). 2. Fiber Fueled by Will Bulsiewicz (for staying in remission, and over all health). 3 @highcarbhealth two brothers who help people go in remission.
Good luck. It's a hard road. You must be patient. But the other side is there, and it can happen. And believe you'll get there.
@@Julottt I completely agree. Water fasting is a great way to heal as well. However, I had to continue working, and I needed some calories to keep going. This method does that.
I have crohn's disease, have been on wfbp diet and it has completely changed my life for the better. Thank you for this video
Me too, me too!!! I don't even have to take meds. Other than the fact that I have to plan my food very very carefully and spend a LOT of time in the kitchen, I don't feel like I have Crohn's most of the time. Thanks to Dr Greger and PLANTS! 🌱
@@ChristiePriem I can relate, I spend alot of time chopping veg! Lol i love it,great work
Same!! I have a very aggressive form of crohn’s and had all the meds, surgery, nothing worked longterm. 5 years ago I switched to WFPB and I’m in remission since, no meds🙌🏻😍 I did this without the docs approval bc unfortunately they don’t know nothing about food 🤷🏻♀️
@@deliishbyeva that's amazing!!
@@deliishbyeva nice so you eat bread and others foods like pizza containing nutritional/baker yeast?

On Humira since 2016 for UC. Sadly, nothing else seems to work to keep me in remission. I saw what you said at the end of this video and sadly, was not shocked. I would love it if you would dig more into biologics in future videos. Thank you so much for all you. You are a tremendous blessing.
I think this just proves it is extremely individual (think, bioindividuality. No two people are the same!). Even when considering two individuals with Ulcerative Colitis, one can respond extremely well to a healthy, plant-based diet, while the other may be triggered by the amount of fibre and lectins in the diet. I still think any diet should be primarily "plant-based", but when I'm having a flare, vegetables are the last thing I want to consume as they cause the most havoc. I have heard of people going completely vegan and healing. I have also heard of others going carnivore and seeing the same results. There is no "one cure-all" diet regardless of similar diagnosis. At the end of the day, I think it relies heavily on your confidence in your diet and routine, as well as eliminating any STRESS or trauma you have experienced. What I have noticed from everyone who has healed or entered remission from IBD, it's that they all have incredible attitudes and confidence. So many times I have beaten myself up or entered a depressed-like state when my body is not responding to my treatments or lifestyle. I told myself I simply cannot do that anymore. It's a vicious cycle between the gut and brain when you allow yourself to become stressed by the situation. I do believe it is extremely important to find a diet that works for you. But I have realized, more than ever, that getting the mind right is arguably more crucial.
You suppress symptoms on a meat based diet because you remove fibers, you dont reverse it by healing the gut and feeding the microbiome, completely different.
Just like you dont reverse diabetes by avoiding carbs, you only suppress the symptoms and eventually make the problem worse long term.
@@63frogsinahat84 Damn, wondering why we never ever seen a cat eat a different diet than another feline on the whole planet, human must be different make absolutely no sense.
@@Julottt do you have ulcerative colitis because if you don't you should just shut up and take a seat. Your analogy makes no sense. I am not a cat and neither are you. Just a rude nameless bully on youtube. And by the way I wasn't talking to you. Everyone has different genetics and life experience. Ignorant much ?
@@63frogsinahat84
I had a CD diagnosis 10 years ago, completely reversed in about a year with a similar protocol like on "high carb health" site/channel or Pam Popper one (pretty similar except brown rice is a bad idea during the healing phase), proven on colonoscopy and bloodwork like the hundred testimonies on HCH channel, you should look into it.
We are animals and mammals, our basic genetic is the same and biology too, life experience is reversible most of the time, this is the same for the purpose of my argument, every species on 10 millions have all a specy specific diet perfect adapted for its anatomy which is 100% optimal obviously because fire and tools wasnt discovered neither used at the begining for a long time, human cant be an exception, this makes absolutely no sense.
@@63frogsinahat84 The pilis are easier to take i get it but it is not a magic pill and doesnt cure anything, just make it worse in the long term with plenty of side effects.
I’ve been suffering with UC for a while now. I was on a plant based diet when I first contracted it . I’m now on the carnivore diet and having amazing results. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but it works for me.
Same here. Vegetables tore me up. The fiber, I assume.
@@JockNmystyle- fiber and all the poison in the vegetables we consume.
I was vegan (WFPB) for 3 years when I was diagnosed with UC last July. I wish I understood more about why I got it with my risks being so low. That being said, it's a year to date when my symptoms began and I've put myself in remission without any meds. My GI said she's shocked but I'm right - my colon looks perfectly normal and healthy. Compared to only 3 months ago when I was 80lbs and bleeding every day. I've adjusted my stress and mental state which I think played a huge role. That and my vegan WFPB diet has once again put me in good health! Can't agree more. So glad I can stay off the biologic drugs and monthly infusions.
Hi and thanks for sharing your story . Can you recommend any books or sites where I can bet guidance and diet recipes? Thanks

How's it been going. I'm in a flair and have been eating more meat. It's not really going away despite mesalamine and prednisone. Wondering if I should try plants again.
Hello my mother has Ulcerative colitis. Have you some tips for her? Just plant based or are there also other things that she should be aware of? Alcohol needs to be avoided right? Unfortunately my mother loves to drink wine! 😕
Thank you very much for your help! 🙂👍❤️
@@adams2836Yes plant based is the way to go! ALL animal foods need to be avoided! A whole foods plant based diet is extremely effective against inflammation! There are also a lot of healing plants that are especially good against inflammation like for example lions mane, Reishi, Coryceps, Amla, ginger, turmeric and so on!
All plant based foods except for oils are good against inflammations but some are of course even more powerful then others! 🙂👍🌽🥦🍎🧄

I have been eating a plant-based diet for seven years and was diagnosed two weeks ago with collagenous colitis. I am so frustrated I find eating any raw vegetables causes a flareup. I don’t eat gluten or dairy. They want to put me on steroids, but I would prefer a different option. Are there any recommendations for someone in my situation?
Maybe special health plants like lions mane, Reishi, Coryceps, Amla, ginger and turmeric could help? They are very good for inflammation. And of course a blant based diet based on starch with a lot of vegetables and fruits. Look up Dr John Mc Dougall and the documentation ,,Forks over knives " 🙂👍🍎🌽🥦🥔🍇🧄
This is not true in my case. All I eat is grass fed beef and salt. I have UC and auto immune disease. Well I’m 100 percent in remission and medicine free. Interesting how every doctor says do different diets. No one knows. Our body’s are all different. Do what works for you!
how are you doing now?

Like how you emphasize your message with the tone of your voice
My husband has been vegan/plant-based for 16 years, very rarely has UC symptoms since. It’s fantastic. We didn’t expect it would help, we went vegan for ethics reasons.
How do you get enough calories, fats, protein, or carbs in a day?
@@sensiblegear6049 I want to know that too
This is such better info than the rubish that was discussed on an episode of Dr. Phil with a representative from Pfizer pharma. That women was just doing one big infomercial for crohns and colitis patients. Can you see any conflict of interest here folks?
Each to their own. My Ulcerative colitis is triggered and exacerbated horribly if i overdo the vegetables.
That's probably because of the high fiber content. Fibre will trigger the gut to clean itself out. The symptoms of ulceritice colitis is actually the body trying to clear out toxic waste matter in the body. Its trying to heal but needs to be given the right conditions. Many, many people, including myself have managed to come off medications and put their ulceritice in remission by going on a plant based diet. I found out this information from the TH-cam channel called "High Carb Health" perhaps you should check them out. :)
Sibo normally goes along with ibd due to low stomach acid. The bacteria are normally methane dominant or hydrogen sulphide dominant. Fiber will not fix this but make it worse. So it depends on your specific problem.
My doctors only want me to have 10 grams of fiber. How do I do a plant based diet with that restriction?
UC is so tricky. Because on the one hand a plant based diet helps, but on the other hand as soon as I drink kale smoothies for a few days I fall right back to flare up (albeit a mild flare up compared to the stories I hear from other UC patients).
I’m very sad and disappointed that my attempts to feed my good gut bacteria by feeding it raw fruits and vegetables backfires 😢😭😭
Some guidelines say you should eat low fiber food during a flare up. But I don’t wanna live like that 😭
Look, seriously, i have ulcerative colitis. I've been through it, okay, and what I've learn from 14 years of this terrible disease is that flare ups can't be fixed by a solely plant based diet. You have intestinal permeability, poor digestion accompanying undigested food particles, and these are making it past the villa entering the blood stream and causing a reaction when is then causing ulcerative, blood etc.
Doctor, you mean well, but please dont put this information out there willy nilly because some people thrive on a wfpbd. This simply doesnt work for people with this disease outside of a dump truck of pharmaceutical drugs. Carnivore is what you need to do when the disease is present until a resolution of symptoms at which point a SLOW REINTRODUCTION of easy to digest fruit's along with kefir, or a tolerable food that can replenish the gut microbiota.
Fiber fiber fiber, jesus if i hear another person whos a doctor think they know what theyre talking about with roughly 1 week of nutritional training I'll karate chop hiya! Them.
If i followed your advice, i qould end up in the emergency room!!
I think you discuss the solution with people who live with the disease and who have escaped the issue. Literally all you talk about is jow a wfpbd is the solution to everything, and its very closed minded.
Fiber is important in the instance where your actuaally in remission, there is no intestinal permeability, or sibo, and youre managing a vast arrange of other contributing factors such as stress, diet, excercise, etc..
Drugs are important, diet is important, stresss management is important, avoiding the fight or flight response is very important, avoiding drinking when eating is important to prevent undigested food from making it past the stomach acid.
I am on a plant based diet for 24 years now and still got diagnosed with UC.
Unfortunately(
need some more context. are you a vegan who eats KFC's vegan tacos? or are you a wfpb vegan?
Maybe then it’s the fiber. Last year i was also diagnosed with UC. Switched my diet to plantbased. Got worser. Got more stress, got even worser. Now switched to mainly carnivore, still with a little fiber yet. Going full carnivore to rule out any food that gives bad symptoms. When i find out where i react bad on i can go back to more variation on my diet…
How is it going now. Just see its already 8 months
Try going carnivore...you will feel better.
Good day my son has Ulcerative colitis , he is 15 years old. Can he eat everything in the book on how not to die cook book like legumes? He has been put on Hectic medication.
Can you offer any advice for someone with UC who has also lost one third of her upper bowel to cancer 10 years ago? She seems to struggle with beans, and she needs extra protein due to age (86). Any advice or comments would be most welcome. Thank you
Soy milk or pea milk might be a bit of help! Both these plant based milks have a good protein content (~8g per cup). Other than that, I know with me personally, I do well with getting a good chunk of my protein from oats. 1 dry cup of oats has 10g of protein. Peanuts are also good sources of protein, with 2 tbsp of peanut butter yielding 7-8g of protein. Pumpkin seeds also have 8g of protein per 1/4 cup. Quinoa is another grain with a good protein content (I think ~8g per cooked cup? I forget exactly the numbers on that one). There's also various vegan protein powders or protein shakes that could work. I use the Orgain plant-based one (I go with the chocolate flavor). Another option is using seitan. That has a pretty high protein content. Really a lot of products made with wheat have a good protein content, although seitan is the most concentrated/protein dense. I hope this helps!
In addition to @S Mudge , millet has an ever higher protein profile than quinoa. Aside from that, all plants have protein. If she is struggling to eat enough calories and therefore might not get enough protein, then add some plant protein powder to smoothies or deserts.
Lentils would be better than beans, especially red lentils. Or go to an Indian food market and try out the dhals. Dhals are shelled beans and lentils. Mung bean dhal and pea dhal (good dhal) are easy to digest.
As for recipes I would try a Middle Eastern lentil soup with red lentils, or different dhal preparation where you can adjust the spices to her liking. Vegan Richa is a website/ instagram with many Indian and Western recipies
And of course tofu
Thanks!
Came to see if @VegetablePolice was in the comments 😎.
Lol
That guy is hilarious I 🖤him sm
How about sulfur containing vegetables? Can it be a problem, how much is too much?
So then why do so many on carnivore diet have great results?
What is the best diet for someone with a j pouch?
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and take Humira. I want to go off of my medication because I'm not really happy and just want to travel the world in search of something different. My doctor keeps telling me that if I go off of Humira then it may not work if I decide to go back on. I'm not one of those all-natural guys. I mean, natural remedies are good preventatives but there is a place for medicine. I don't know. Just nervous and don't know what to do.
Im confused. You say to eat a high fiber plant based diet but everything online i read saya high fibre is bad for UC??
thankyouu
Dr Gregger, I have been plant based now for 4 years. I stopped taking meds for my Ulcertive Colitis at least the last 4 yrs. However just in the last month or so i have been getting bloating, flatulence really bad. It seems to happen after the evening meals. Even when I tried to keep it simple such as maybe rice with a few veggies I am suffering badly. Any clues to give me.
My breakfast is around 10-11am with green juice, Lunch sometimes smoothie or fruit, Dinner either salad which really gives me a bad tummy ache and wind, rice made into fried rice, plain rice with raw veggies such as Pak Choy, carrot, asparagus. Any help would be great as I am really suffering :(
Hi. I’m not a doctor but how are you doing?
@@vladimirshtefan6752 Also not a doc but wondering how you are doing?
I had UC and no matter what the doctors gave me it never lasted for long till I was back on prednisone for the next experiment in medicine that never worked. I went on Whole Food plant based diet, against the advice of the Doctor, and in 1 month I had a normal bowel movement and I haven’t seen a doctor or taken any medicine since August 2000! Not one problem since.
uhhhhh you havent been to a doctor in over 20 years?? you should probably see a doctor sometime for a checkup, you're probably overdue for some screenings...
Awesome . Thanks for sharing your story . Very inspirational
Please tell me what you did

I'm so thankful to you for lifetime
I have to say...as a physician ..... simply exquisite video! Thank you!!
My grandson has This and has been vegan for 3+ years. He has been told by his doctor that fiber is very hard on his lower bowels. He is a college kid who should not have to plan his meals three times a day, trying to eliminate as much fiber as possible, YET still get a nutrition balanced meal. Help me help him.
I have Chohn and fiber is hard but if I steam my vegetables a bit more I can eat much more.
Just curious- how can he have nutritionally balanced meals if he is eliminating fiber? What kind of food does he eat...?
Try checking out High Carb Health here on TH-cam!
@@theogenerobitaille6006 No raw vegetables/legumes/nuts/whole grains/herbs and spices/wheat/gluten rich in insoluble fibers during the healing phase for sure, foods rich in soluble fibers are much more smooth like soft ripe fruits, (banana, avocadoes, melon, mangoes, persimmons etc), well cooked vegetables and potatoes are best until the gut and microbiome are healed.
My husband has found that soups and tofu are a gentle way to get more nutrients while going through a flare. I hope he is able to get some relief soon.
Okay I’m very confused. I was told to avoid all fibers, no wheat, no salad, no vegetables but lots of lean proteins like fish, chicken, eggs and even lean meat. I’m been suffering and diagnosed just over a week and afraid to eat- not sure what should I eat. Doctors and lots of sufferers of UC said to avoid all sulfur causes so no raw vegetables, no onions either. Absolutely no nuts, seeds or fiber as it causes friction in the colon which is already inflamed. Use to love my salads, and twice a day lemon ginger honey juice but found out citrus makes it worse.
I want to go into a plant based diet so badly but I refuse to put my son through that & there’s not many plants I enjoy eating
My father and sister both had ulcerative colitis. Dad would not listen to any suggestion of dietary changes because, "The doctor knows best!" He suffered horribly with UC and the side effects of all his medications all his life. My sister switched to a PBD and no longer shows any signs or symptoms of the disease ... and hasn't for several years!
My doctors were ignorant as well. They love that commission from big pharma. Plant based it the way to go.
Thank you very much for your statement! 🙂👍❤️
Any other tips or just plant based? 🙂
WOW. I love this vid. But the audacity of phama companies selling us the crap that does not work and would kill us that pissed me off.
It's not audacity. It's a free market, demand and supply. If people weren't stupid, ignorant and lazy, the Big Pharma would have no one to sell their useless crap to. But people abuse their bodies and eat, drink and smoke all kinds of dangerous, toxic, carcinogenic crap and then they have no other choice than to start popping those pills when it's too late for them! When the solution is so simple, don't drink alkohol, don't smoke and adopt a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle!
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans I am all from free market and capitalism. But knowing and willingly sell thing that harm or kill harm people while claiming that it work is simply wrong. Two cases that come to my mind: 1) tobacco. Before 80's, the tobacco industry claim that tobacco is good for you. Now you know what tobacco does to the body. 2) In 90's, the drug companies said the prescription pain killers are not addictive. These pharma are being sue by OUR government now.
The papers listed in the video. I was wondering do you have links to those papers?

Although getting fiber shouldn’t be a problem for PBD, would you recommend taking a psyllium supplement to assure reaching that goal of 30mg per day?
He has a video from a few years ago called “The Five to One Fiber Rule” which talks in depth about fiber types. TL;DR is that psyllium husk doesn’t give you the protective benefits of fibers found in whole foods, like beans & legumes.
Hey, 😃 is there any evidence that a plant based diet cures Rosacea? With so many triggers for Rosacea flares, is it possible to eliminate ALL the triggers and still stay healthy on a plant based diet? Thank-you for all you do! ☘️
I would like to know this also, being afflicted with Rosacea.
Hello. For facial inflammation and redness from eczema, I found two things that were very helpful: Immerse face in tepid water mixed with a good dose of Dead Sea salt. Also, Replenix CF cream - it’s very light. I know rosacea is not the same as eczema, but maybe it could help? I hope so. :)
@@hellie_el
Thanks hellie el! 🤞
De Cu, I’m happy to pass on the information. I know how frustrating it can be. I really do hope you get some relief. :)
Rosacea is caused by SIBO. I'm treating it successfully with a low starch, low FODMAP, low fat and low sugar diet and 500 mg of berberine 3x a day on an empty stomach a half hour before meals. I also take a variety of mostly human-strain probiotics with meals. It's important to eliminate legumes during treatment (which may take 3 to 6 months) since they are high in starch. Starch is the preferred food of klebsiella pneumonia, one of the main pathogenic bacterial species found to be overgrown in the small intestine of people with SIBO. The only vegan source of protein that works on this diet is firm or extra firm tofu. I also eat a small serving of wild salmon once a week to lower inflammation.
Thank God for you Dr Greger
How does he feel about eating fish?
What about GMOs vs natural food
He had me at easy to open bottle
What was included in the plant-based diet? That is pretty broad statement, was it raw or cooked and what types of plants and how was the rest of their health like teeth, skin, eyes and so on? Since their gut was better I would assume many things were better? I would love to know more. Keep sharing and lots of blessings, love all the great info.
The most healthy diet is based on (a lot of) STARCH foods with a LOT of vegetables and fruits! And yes this diet is healthy for MANY things! 🙂👍🥔🍞🌽🥦🧄🍎
where are the studies?
I stopped eating animals 10 years ago after being diagnosed with UC.
There has never been any doubt in my mind that meat was always making my symptoms worse.
Its good that the science is finally starting to be clear for other sufferers to see.
Oil, sugar and alcohol are also bad, but can be had in moderation.
Eggs and dairy are high sulfur, casein, lactose, hormones, they are also terrible and possibly worse, fish seems to be the least harmful for this conditions if they arent loaded with antibiotics.
@Sara Last year i ended up in the hospital for the first time in 10 years. My stress levels shot up due to Covid reasons and on top of that i started eating ginger in a attempt to boost my immune system again for Covid reasons.
I don't know which change had a bigger effect but i went into a spiral that landed me in the hospital and on steroids for 6 months.
We have a tricky disease that has triggers that vary a lot between people. I hope you find a way to manage yours.
@Sara Many people will need more than vegan/whole food diet during the healing phase:
No raw vegetables/legumes/nuts/whole grains/herbs and spices/wheat/gluten rich in harsh irritating insoluble fibers, foods rich in soluble fibers are much more smooth like soft ripe fruits, (banana, avocadoes, melon, mangoes, persimmons etc), well cooked vegetables and potatoes are best until the gut and microbiome are healed, soluble fibers are the best fiber to feed the microbiome; salt is not a problem if you dont eat high amount, water only fasting help tremendously.
"High carb health" protocol on youtube or the site is great, they have more than 100 testimonies on reversing crohn and colitis.
@Sara check out the following gastroenterologist Dr Bulsiewicz and Dr Alan Desmond. You can reach via Instagram. They also published books, and are featured on the TH-cam channel physician committee and Hench Herbivore
Oil, sugar and alcohol is ok in moderation, but some high quality grass fed meat is worse to have in moderation? I see some neurons deficiency. Eat some meat.
Carnivore diet has worked wonder's for me I've had ulcerative colitis for 18 years,
What does your daily diet consist of? Thanks
@@rodolfogarcia9011 Hi, I fast 16/8 most days, my first meal would be early afternoon, eggs beefburgers, sausages, bacon ribeye steaks, hard cheese, just any animal foods basically, I'd say what I don't eat now like sugar, bread cereal and all processed foods has helped, I also drink Raw cow's milk.
Classic Greger snarkiness to finish this one out 😂😂😂
Hi I’m trying a plant based diet but still ended up with a blockage I guess the sugar caused it and I did have kifir (dairy) once it was a small amount and that caused irritation which I think helped lead to a blockage also legumes seem to not be helpful and ripe bananas also cause irritability so even if I didn’t have sugar or dairy I still find it difficult and I can’t eat insoluble food which seems to be something you really want to be able to do and roughage like broccoli and cauliflower isn’t the best for me either it’s a challenge going plant based. certain oils like sunflower vegetable rapeseed cold or cooked are bad and have to have extra virgin olive oil, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and flaxseed oil instead which is healthy and have them cold but if you cook them they also can become an irritant for Crohn’s disease. So avoid sugar cane, Demerara, caster and have natural sugar from fruits instead but not too much because that also causes irritation don’t have meat don’t have dairy don’t have alcohol don’t have certain oils and don’t have table sugar granules cane, Demerara, caster etc
All oils are bad for you. Someone needs to eat like Dr John Mc Dougall recommends it! 🙂👍🍎🌽🥦🥔🍇
Non specific colon ulcer is also IBD.non specific colon ulcer fulfill cured??please answer me.
This doesn’t help because I’ve been on a plant based diet for three years ever since I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and I still get 3-5 flare ups a year :(
Make sure you consume DHA or a high amount of omega 3s. Also lots of green smoothies. If you can afford it, Visbiome (De Simone Formula) probiotics. I've only had two flare ups, without medication, both after really bad break ups and lots of stress in my life and where I was eating a lot of vegan junk, in the last 6 years. It's not a panacea but I'm sure I'd be a lot worse off without the plant-based diet. Now I just try to reduce the junk to a minimum and keep the omega 3s high and it's been working good for the past year.
do you supplement in b12 are you a junk food plant based, high fat plant based, high sodium plant based, processed food plant based, protein isolated plant based, oil, flour, sugar plant based, flexi plant based, gmo plant based
or a real WFPB
True WFPB will help you. I know many plant based eaters who has many health issues.
Bio-Individuality. Going completely plant based can work for many but it doesn't mean it will work for everyone! Even two people with a UC diagnosis can respond very differently to a specific diet.
@Peter Rabbit WFPB, I follow Dr McDougall’s recommended diet
Very informative video. What is good food for Chrohns? Please let me know how to contact you. I am in California.
Are eggs and dairy also bad for ulcerative colitis? I'm asking for my mom.
Yes
@@inderpalsingh5731 Thank you
I watch for his humour as much as anything else lol
Is eating lean steak once a week OK?
Doesn’t make sense … I was diagnosed with UC after being vegan 6 years 🙄
how much bread were you consuming?
How come chrons patients get off medication on the carnivore diet?
Gracias Dr. Greger for sharing this valuable information.
I really need to shift to a more vegan/plant based diet.
Pharma Marketing I don’t think will be calling with a job offer 😆
How do the plant based people explain how Elaine Gotschalls no grain diets also show similar remission in crohns and UC? I have seen remission in patients as a dietitian and it is a diet of meat, certain fruit, and vegetables with no grains or starches
1. Peer reviewed literature? 2. Many changes can affect gut microbiome including belief. 3. Severe intolerance of certain foods may it self cause serious gut damage (removing those foods will cause improvements regardless) 4. The vast majority of available evidence points the extreme superiority of plant, wholefoods (especially a great diversity of and polyphenol rich sources thereof) for the health of the microbiome.
@@BlissBlessHappiness all CC and autoimmune diets allow most if not all of the phytochemical vegetables and berries and emphasize quality, slow cooked organ meats (something that the vegan diet world has rarely studied to assess safety against their overcooked high fat muscle friends) and CC diets have extensive studies, along with the same testimonies. No one BELIEVES they dont have Crohn's and it magically disappears. The facts are that many diets work for many diseases and are multifaceted but sadly even high level researchers like Greger or prone to cherry picking.
those are case reports, glorified anecdotes we have to actually put it to the test with rigorous studies (randomize, double blind placebo controlled trial)
low Fodmap could work sometimes but just for less threatening IBS
this result is amazing is there anything comparable on pubmed ? i don't think so
@@JamesBond-pu6qf I agree with some of what you wrote! You clearly, however, have not studied the nocebo and placebo effect that is for sure; almost anything you can imagine has been "cured" or vice versa by its force, it is in the literature... There is simply no need for organ meats if you have black mulberries, seabuckthorn and goji berries (real fruits that is), for example, as they are comprehensive beyond your wildest fancies in terms of minerals, amino acids (even taurine, in goji berries, look it up!) and much, much more importantly: phytochemicals and especially polyphenols, while you fill your stomach with organ meats; I am having black mulberries, black figs, and Italian kale... And the only peer reviewed studies to reverse autoimmune disorders are likewise plant based (based on high dark greens, some fruits, full on omega 3 (flax, chia), and no grains or animal products at all!), see the work of Dr. Goldner!
@@BlissBlessHappiness I do indeed use plant based therapy for IBD most of the time and it is generally successful depending on commitment (theyre bad about strict diets in Missouri because you cant get those high nutrient foods easily), However, in my experience the lineage of the disease plays a role- those who developed IBD after a viral infection seem to struggle with any kind of remission regardless of the therapy. Those who develop IBD over time do very well with WFPB, and those who are sprue/celiac based IBD patients respond to CC diets but have flares when eating grains even months into plant based diets. Almost all my autoimmune patients respond to high intake of plant based foods, except extreme tube feed cases. My wife is a crohns case that did not respond to plant based but did to CC and I have a child patient who requires 12hour PN elemental tube feed for weeks after eating fibrous foods. You could never give her fiber in her state, yet she can eat mashed meats and a special yogurt without issue. Overall I believe WFPB is the optimal diet for IBD but it has always bothered me that a researcher would wear a one size fits all glass slipper in the face of thousands of people in remission who simply followed a diet against his mantra. In nutrition you find very quickly that care has to be individualized and many guts can eventually move to plant based but some need that high calorie, low impact, no grain to reestablish a solid intestinal membrane.
also try low fodmap plant based diet. not all plants are equal.
There should be a study done with coffee and UC my diet can keep me in remission for years at a time but every time I introduce coffee it takes a week or two and Im all shitting bleading. blood levels plummet and I have to hide from my UC specialist doctor who believes diet has nothing to do with the condition. Coffee plays a role or is it the lack of sleep that messes up my guts or both.
Since going plant-based my husband has noticed that coffee and tomatoes, particularly tomato paste, are big flare triggers for him. He can eat fresh tomatoes in moderation, but doesn't even touch coffee anymore as it's a pretty instant problem. We always assumed it was because they are so acidic, but I would love to see more scientific minds put it to the test.
My husband (vegan 16 years) thought it was coffee earlier on, went off coffee for a long time. He introduced coffee again, didn’t have a relapse. He was stressed and not sleeping enough and drinking coffee, still didn’t relapse again... He’s not sure what triggers flare-ups but they’re very rare and minor... Might be catching certain cold or flu viruses affecting immune system responses but we don’t know.

this seems directly contrary to the many ex vegan vids on U Tube complaining about stuffing themselves daily with veg and whatthis did to their digestive tract.
Other things ex vegan did:. raw vegan diet, fruitarian, excessive water fasting, unproven restriction like cutting out whole grains, enemas, drinking alkaline water, drinking urine, not supplementing Vitamin B12
They just need any excuse to do what they want
Well many of the ex vegans did a lot of stupid extreme things before their heath issues developed.
If your gut microbiome is really messed up it can be extremely difficult to build it back up again. If this is the case you get a lot of bad symptoms whens trying to eat whole plant foods.
The problem is not the diet, but their destroyed guts.
Litterally all ex vegans never did any testing and worked with a functional doctor, nutritionist or good gastroenterologist to find out what's wrong (for example sibo, digestive enzyme deficiency, stomach acid deficiency, pathogenic bacteria, c diff, h pylori...)
@@primenumerus u could ask the Q re the ex-vegans--are there any that followed Gregor? I am one of those although still mostly vegan. My experience is simple, pure vegan is very far short of being an optimal diet for both health, longetivity and energy. Why? #1 it's necessary to stuff oneself to the gills every single day with pounds of plant matter to keep up calories. Hardly a good prescription for a sound digestive system. #2 Taking in that much plant material carries the risk of too many lectins, too many oxylates, and to much of the other substances in plants that are harmful to the digestive tract. #3 it is a very poor diet for micro nutrition because u simply are unable to ingest enough across the board to provide meaningful doses. #4 Gregor needs to put his money were his mouth is and do some research on the actual harm of small amounts of low fat meat, eggs and occasional dairy. He simply fails to ever address that issue and goes on the assumption that everybody is on lunch meat and milkshakes.
@@ratherrapid well there is really no research to back up your claims.
What are you talking about there are lots of calorie dense vegan foods(nuts, seeds, legumes...)
You can pressure cook legumes, grains if lectins are problem for you (there are a few genetic problems where lectins can be a problem, but thats rare).
Also if you have leaky gut you likeley have a problem with lectins, but thats fixable.
You have special bacteria in your gut (oxalobacter formigenes) which degrade oxalates. That why for most people oxalates are no problem. But if you wiped them out with bad diet, or antibiotics, you can get extremely severe reactions when eating oxalates them.
"Anti" nutrients aren't really a problem if your gut (microbiome) is healthy. (Again thats fixable, doing it myself currenly)
Many like lectins of phytic acids are actually correlated with health benefits(phytic acid for example has anti cancer properties)
Why do you think other animals have no problems with anti nutrients? They very often share the same degration pathways as we.
Before this TH-cam video, I was listening to a person who was on a carnivore diet and her Ulcerative Colitis went into remission.
don't believe it til she shows the colonoscopies
The conclusions also clearly state that N-6 PUFAs are a predisposing factor to UC, which vegetable oils are a large culprit, so a plant based diet wouldn't necessarily get you out of the woods. "A diet high in protein, particular animal protein, may be associated with increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease and relapses. *N-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids may predispose to ulcerative colitis whilst n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid may protect"*
Omega 6LA from whole foods is healthy Omega 6 LA from adulterated oils is very bad because the oils have been processed by using high heat, deodorizers, extenders, additives, etc. The oils you are talking about are packaged and oxidized in the bottle. Our bodies need much more Omega 6 LA than Omega 3 ALA and if you get both from whole foods there is not much to worry about.
Dr Greger wasn't just talking about a plantbased diet, the studies mentioned a whole-food plantbased diet, in which oils have no place.
When the "common" side effects list is longer than your wish list 🧐🧐🧐🧐
If you have too much fiber in calls flare-ups
I need vegan friends. Please be my friends, vegans D:
My doctor said its not linked with diet its your immune system which is not your fault at all. Everyones different but theyve said dont cut out things from your normal diet to me
Please, add spanish subtitles
Let's save @VegetablePolice. His colon would surely deserve a break

Nope - I had UC and ended up with an ileostomy after trying to eat more plants - since I've gone carnivore / ketovore no issues whatsoever, plus I completely get all of my nutrients by eating this way with NO supplements needed. The most natural diet is surely the one that doesn't need any supplements and I feel great - all issues resolved by eating meat. Sorry but he couldn't be more wrong. Long term plant diets are terrible for us.. They only work initially by removing all other junk, but then the deficiencies kick in...
I continues to be amazed that people will opt for toxic pharmaceuticals and debilitation surgeries instead of changing their dietary patterns. It's like they believe in the high technology approaches because they've been developed using "Science" instead of selecting lifestyle interventions proved to be safe and effective by actual scientific method. It's like "faith based medicine," but the faith that people have in these treatments are misplaced. I'd rather eat oatmeal, vegetables, fruit and beans and get well.
Unfortunately, diet doesn't work for everyone, and some of us with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's have no choice but to take medications. I myself have severe ulcerative colitis and I'm quite thankful for the biologic that gave me my life back. I also have many friends whose lives were saved by ostomy surgery. It's not that we're "choosing" medications or surgery over lifestyle changes, it's that we are doing what must be done for our unique situations. I am grateful to have medication and surgery as options since there unfortunately is no one-size-fits-all treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.
@@thecomicalcolon If one has not been able to address their health concerns with dietary intervention, then it is understood that one must do what one must do.
It is indeed unfortunate if one's condition does not improve with changes in diet and requires drugs and surgery. It is one's unwillingness to make the attempt and going straight to drugs and surgery that I do not understand.
@@thecomicalcolon how long did you try adjusting your diet for? out of curiosity
easy-to-open bottle :-D
Take out GMO corn & soy , then what are the choices . Meat made from plants ??? What plants ? , what is added ??
No SCIENTIFIC evidence whatsoever that GMO is harmful. But you don't want to eat too much corn anyway.
He's talking about things like cruciferous vegetables, whole intact grains (not flour or polished grains), and legumes (beans and lentils).
Also good for you are fungus (mushrooms) and allium vegetables (onion family).
Just eat potatos and fruits for good results
Quick someone tell @vegetablepolice
I would literally starve to death😂 I have UC and I cannot touch vegetables, fruit or grains.. and why does this dude sound like he’s drunk.. it’s super weird
Brought to you by the vegetable fruit wheat corn growers of America
🤴🤴🤴🤴You are so right🤴🤴🤴🤴
This sounds so great but unfortunately …most people who suffer from UC for at least 10 years it’s really just luck…some people have great success but many… no change unfortunately.

I think Dr Greger's daily dozen should become the baker's dozen and add one more item to the list. Add a daily dose of listening to any Dr Greger's nutritional videos to keep on track of healthy eating with plant-based whole foods!
Whow it almost looks like a real human CGI is getting TOO REAL
💜
Your wrong!
Greger is mesiah.!
Big up from France🤟 Industry makes us eat too meat... I am not vegan but it’s important to have a various diet and reduce bad meats produced. Indeed fiber with plants are essentials 👍
lit son livre
le top 15 des maladies les plus répandus sont dû à la consommation de produit d'origine animal
source : le livre "Mieux manger peut vous sauver la vie" du docteur Greger
@@wellthi Le problème c’est qu’il est trop direct, tu peux consommer des produits animaux. Le soucis c’est qu’aujourd’hui la quantité consommée est démesurée
@@byNetak ya trop de merde inutile et toxique dans la viande et les produit laitier : graisse trans (maladie cardiovasculaire), cholesterol (diabète), hormone, antibiotique, virus, bccaa (diabète), oxyde de triméthylamine (cancer), nitrite (cancer), phosphate, méthionine (lots), renal acid load...
la viande transformé est cancérigène certain groupe 1 (le pire) au coté du plutonium et de l'amiante
@@wellthi tu oublies que y a certaines bombes nutritionnelles aussi notamment dans le foie par exemple. Et les graisses trans sont minimes si tu abuses pas. Et le cholesterol des oeufs est benefique et y a aussi de la choline avec les oeufs ;)
@@byNetak le terme bombe est bien choisi car pour une bonne parti des micronutriment en excess ils deviennent toxique
seul le cholesterol produit par notre propre corps est bénéfique car celui des animaux augmente le mauvais cholesterol, la choline se transforme en oxyde de triméthylamine qui est cancérigène
another plant based propagand crap
Vegan diet is super high in fiber which makes symptoms worse for people with gut issues. Raw kefir is a superfood for digestive health.
did you watch this video ?
@@wellthi No because this doctor is a vegan cherry picker.
@@Nevjerovatno6 then you must have tones of studies to support your claims ?
@@wellthi I'm sure there are studies but there's also plenty of ex vegans who say they had digestive issues caused by eating a high fiber diet.
@@Nevjerovatno6 so anecdotes from random youtube losers who simply didn't supplement in b12 are strong evidences and we shouldn't listen to actual science (double blind, randomize, placebo controlled trials)
Terrible advice.
i heard 3 week old 7th world country raw chicken/eggs are a CURE for it

Why not talk normal?
I cured Chrohns on a high fruit diet. God Bless Dave Klein
Same with me
Same and water fasting, high carb health channel is good.
