When I was in my worst flare about 2.5 years ago I lost 40lbs as a 52 year old 180lbs male. They nearly cut my Colon out too. The meds were not even working. In 2020 I stumbled upon your vids and other resources out there. I too learned that diet was a key to remission. So a big thank you to you during my dark days. Your videos gave me hope. I'm now happily in full remission. I'm back at 180Lbs thanks to your diet and yes, maintenance meds. I firmly believe tho that the diet helped the meds be able to do their job.
Fermented foods really seemed to work for me. They are consumed daily. I eat 80-90% full gut friendly, non-inflammatory diet every day. 10-20% of the time I can enjoy what everyone else is eating with no issues! Just had a full Colonoscopy 3 weeks ago and all was good. Since I've been in remission my digestive tract has never been better. I also notice my tastes have changed. I crave the fermented foods. Kimchi & Sauerkraut are 2 of my favorites. Maybe one day I can move to a med free life as well.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. So glad you’ve seen improvement! Incredible story 👍🏻
I have a very good feeling that IBD is on the rise because of synthetic liquid spices, in america people love their spicy foods but don't know that its the most irritable liquid that you can put into your system, quit the asian spices like sriracha and american spicy foods and you'll see that inflammation go away for good. Gl to all.

You really are one of the nicest person in this community. I've never had the feeling you just want to sell something and make as much money as possible. Always prodivind quality information for free. Thank you very much for that and I am glad you are doing fine! :)
I really appreciate the kind words, thank you! I hope you’re doing well and that you have a great start to the new year.
Kenny helped save my life back in 2020 after being sick for 20 years with UC. I will forever be grateful for everything he and his wife did for me!
It's been a year since my last flare(and it wasn't a bad flare at all). I've had my ups and downs but I feel SO much better and am inspired every day to eat right and change any negative thoughts I might be thinking. I know God brought this man into my life in the process of overcoming this disease.
Watch episode 10, like he said, guys. It's a game-changer if you STICK WITH IT. Consistency and mental toughness are some of the main keys. Believing I was going to heal was one of the biggest factors. Praying for all who find this video. :)
Same here - I stumbled across many of the things Kenny talks about by chance BEFORE I had even heard of him - when I got my first colitis free colonoscopy- I wondered if my new diet was the cause - then I researched it and found Kenny - I fast a lot and eat 1 meal a day - lots of live yoghurt- NO SUGAR and low carbs - lots of veg and less fruit -I make my own kefir but eat sparingly . I do a lot of excercise
Thanks, Sarah! Good to hear from you and glad you’re doing well! God bless :)
So cool, glad you’re doing so well!
Really appreciate your authenticity Kenny. Keep up the great work! The mind and the body and so connected. God bless you.
Someone posted your name in another video. I’m so happy I found this page. My grandson 10 years old has just been diagnosed with pancolitis. This is comforting that it can be managed.
I’ve been struggling with IBD since I was 11. I’ve been on meslamine for years and ate unhealthy until recently I started taking it seriously after I decided I wanted to join the Army. I’ve been eating gluten free and mostly eating better, and working out. I recently had my Stelara injection last month and I feel better everyday now. God bless you Kenny it’s very good you’re helping men and women with IBD. It’s a disease many don’t know about nor take seriously
You have been a source of hope and inspiration for a long time now. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
You’re very welcome, happy to do it! Appreciate you watching and commenting. Wishing you the best 👊🏻
I’m an so overwhelmed I’ve just found you kenny !
Wow suffered for 10 years or so and have researched so much.. I’ve thankfully got a raw milk farm close to my house. I can’t wait to dedicate myself to this all and see the improvements. Thank you 🥰 lacea from England Bristol ( found out about you on Reddit !! )🥳
You’re an awesome human for helping others
Kenny is a blessing . He has helped me a lot and thanks to him I find my self in a similar position as him. Lately I've also been lacking in discipline and I've been more disciplined the last couple of weeks, I don't want to take my regained life for granted and this video gave me an extra boost to not stray away from the healthy life style path . Thank you Kenny for being who you are - blessings from Sweden
Thanks, Andrés! Good to hear from you again and hope you’re doing well!
Im happy to hear that you tracked you experience. I was diagnosed and was able to control it into remission after 2-3 months following a strict diet plan and anti-inflammatory supplementation. After the symptoms go away, its so easy to go back to the regular bad eating habits. I blame the united states food industry because nearly everything sold in restaurants or the grocery store is loaded with poisons that cause inflammation, destroy intestinal linings, and destroy gut microbiome. This also includes fruits and vegetables. Its frikin crazy, but many are waking up to this reality.
Thank you, Kenny, for your videos. I was diagnosed in 2019. So many doctors didn't take me seriously until I was undeniably sick. They prescribed me antibiotics and Ibuprofen which are the two worst things to take if you have UC. I almost died because my body couldn't retain any water. I learned that doctors don't know everything, so I went on TH-cam for answers. I found your videos and a few others. I followed your diet instructions along with the gaps diet. I also took CBD oil and avoided major stress. I have been in remission ever since and have not needed any medication for it. I am glad you are happy and healthy too. Thank you for your help. Keep it up!
Wow! I’m so glad you shared your story. That is so encouraging. Really excited that persevered and you’ve improved so much! Well done. Wishing you all the best. 👊🏻

@@foxblog3002 did you exercise? Did you eat the prebiotics? Did you eat only two big meals a day?
You are so amazing. Your eyes tell everything. Thank you for doing a great job and become an inspiration for us. Hopefully, we all going to have a long-term remission. aamiin.
You're an inspiration Kenny! Thanks for posting your videos on UC. Your videos gave me much needed encouragement and advice during some tough times. For me, infusions of remicade saved me, which I started during my second hospitalization. I've regained my strength and weight, and I feel normal again. My colonoscopy showed some lingering mild colitis in one part of my colon. -But following your advice of drinking filtered water, kefir smoothies, and bone broth, and exercising and sleeping, I know I'll continue to stay healthy!
Because of your advice, my 7YO has been stable over the last year! I'm sure gut disbiosis plays a Huge roll in his diagnosis, he had So Many antibiotics in his first year of life. We've increased pre and probiotic foods and cut out almost all processed foods. Thank you for your willingness to share these lifesaving, healing experiences!
Oh I'm so excited to hear that! I'm really glad he's doing well. Thank you very much for sharing. Wishing you and your son all the best!
I cried watching this. I thank you for your experience! I have uc and the worst part is the pain. I cant handle it anymore and is therefor searching for a diet to help with it. My daily life has latky been: not showing up to work because of pain, or not showing up because im stuck to the toilet. Im also living a very unhealthy lifestile because of the depression that comes with theese livingconditions. So thank you for charing and i will try to do what you have done
Hey bro, thank you! it rly helped me during my inflammation period; i learned a lot and was able to fight back ❤
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for sharing 👊🏻
Excellent video kenny! Now lets get rid it those tiny inflammations!
Thank you! And yes, that is the goal 👊🏻
You’re a legend 💙🔥🐐
I've been in remission for almost a year now.
Thank you, brother.
Fantastic news! Thank you for sharing 👊🏻
Thank you for making these videos. Thanks to you, I've been adding Kefir to my morning smoothie and it has helped immensely!!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching. Glad the kefir has been helping!
Thanks so much for this update. I applaud your efforts to lead a normal life. It's great news about your colonoscopy.
I was just looking into Evinature because I seem to be at a plateau with my remission. Wondering if you've considered them or come across them in your research.
Again, thanks for keeping hope alive for many who are searching for healing.
Happy to share my journey with everyone, thanks for watching and commenting! I have not heard of Evinature yet, but will definitely look them up. Wishing you the best 👊🏻
You are just great!!!
Thank you so much for your honesty
Of course! Honesty is important. Happy to be transparent about my journey while trying to chart a better course forward.
You really inspired me. I have had UC. For more than 10 years. I had a good days the most. And bad days as well. Recently I had a big flare. Now I follow your diet blend mine. Thank you 🙏 again.
Love your goal
Kenny, love your stuff. I can’t express how appreciative I am of all your research and how you’ve used it to help those of us who can’t stop peeing out Big Red out of their butts 😂.
Anyway, have you heard of the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet)? Ive done that program in the past with mixed results. I went about 3 years without a flare or any symptoms not following any specific regimen after giving SCD a decent shot. I was also eating a lot of fermented foods I made myself, my favorite one being kimchi. However, after a colonoscopy in 2021 I’ve been in and out of a pretty wicked flare. I have never taken the traditional meds because I don’t believe in them but this time around I’ve had to go on a handful of rounds of prednisone. I’ve used the SCD in the past with decent results at times, but this time around of trying it, it seems to not be taking as well. I am interested in your program but one thing I’ve figured out is right now my guts DO NOT like rice and potatoes. Which is why I’m back on SCD while I’m in this flare. I’d love to be doing the fermented veggies and kefir but all of those things tear me up and send me running to the bathroom currently. I guess my real question is have you tried SCD and if you did what was your experience? It’s VERY strict and hard to stick to. Thanks in advance!
It's so hard to find your channel after a long time. You should put hashtag or relevant words on your articles
God Bless Kenny
God bless you as well!
I plan on coming off the meds soon taking a carnivore approach mostly with fermented foods. Any supplements you recommend kenny?
Hello Kenny i just came across your videos and im getting ready to jump to your meal plans. Could you tell me where can i get those jars for fermented foods (or how they are called) that you used in yhe episode where you explained how to make them(from your bootcamp series). Im talking about the jars that allowed you to press the vegetables, cuz ive tried making fermented vegetables before without them and it was a big hit or miss. Sry for my bad English hope it makes sense what ive written
I watched you at the beginning of my healing almost 2 years ago. I am completely off medication but I live in the UK. Doctors refuse to believe what I have done has worked regardless if I’m now back to perfect health just as I was before. I feel so stuck. They are pushing medication back onto me and have me believing maybe I have done nothing and could be in danger of bowel rupture.
Good to see you back. Colitis freaking sucks. Like you said the highest priority is just to feel normal. I wish I can shake this colitis.
I seems like you got it about the same year I got diagnosis.
Keep moving forward! Hope you start seeing improvements soon. A better quality of life is possible. 👊🏻
Colitis feels like a death sentence man life just ain’t the same 😢
Very noble May God reward you with a happy life Ameen
Main takeaway...besides eating gut helping foods, don't eat junk food or food that humans weren't eating 100 years ago. Probably best to stay away from seed oils and refined sugars. Just eat meat and fruit and some vegetables. Drink clean water. One thing that got me out of a flare super fast was drinking 12-16 ounces or celery juice every four hours and reverse osmosis water in between for three days. Day four and five I did the same thing but had a medium banana in the morning. I continued to juice and slowly added foods back into my diet for the next couple months. In those first couple of days of juicing I had bad gas and that continued for a few months. But within three days of juicing and by end of day five I was out of the really bad flare that I had been in. I also experimented with the carnivore diet before that but wasn't strict enough with it but I will say it helped a lot and probably would have done the trick had I been strict with it but the downside to the carnivore diet is the extreme weight loss.
Yes to the main takeaway! Glad you got out of the flare as well 👊🏻
There is a lot of research pointing to diet for the development of UC. I did not find research for reaching remission once someone is diagnosed with UC. Is the research you have posted about the latter?
I wish that someone like you would have a video for healing Chronic Gastritis.
Because of that I got refluks and I'm already 2 months of healing but I still feel burning in my stomach and have refluks. It sucks that I have to eat small portions of healthy chosen food to get better slowly.
Hi Kenny thanks for making all this video's and helping others with IBD. I found out that I have UC a few months back and just wanted to know if you ever experienced piles/hemorrhoids like symptoms like irritation/discomfort when sitting and itchiness? Cuz I have been having this symptoms after I was told about my condition.

Is your diagnosis truly ulcerative colitis? How are you currently?
@@amoo.narutooThank you for asking, yes I do have UC , I am taking medicines daily but other than that I feel pretty normal 😁, enjoying life
Hi Kenny, I'm wanting to start taking fermented veggies and milk kefir. Would you recommend taking these when you're in a flare? Also I dont have access to raw milk, would store bought milk work just as well?
Thanks for all your help and videos!
Hello, quick reminder I am not a doctor or dietician. The following information should NOT be taken as a substitute for medical advice NOR be acted upon without the approval and supervision of a licensed physician.
That being said, in my experience, just about any type of food can potentially be irritating during a flare. I would recommend avoiding the fermented vegetables as the insoluble fiber content may further irritate the inflamed areas inside the intestines. I would recommend as soft of foods as possible when flaring. Bone broth, small amounts of kefir (if you can tolerate dairy, and the increase in probiotics from the kefir doesn't cause any increased symptoms), really soft fruits like ripe bananas, maybe some peeled mashed potatoes and high quality meats. I would recommend watching my boot camp episode 10 for some more info! Hope that helps.
Kenny , can follow this diet for gastritis?
Hey Kenny love your videos. Seriously love them. Have you ever gotten a GI Map stool test done before? Definitely worth looking into they’ve saved me big time. I’d love to see your results. And also wondered if you’ve ever considered the carnivore diet? I know you’re big on dietary freedom and something like the carnivore is the opposite of that but it’s helped so many people I wanted to hear your opinion. Thanks again for the great videos you continue to put out!!
Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, I have done a few gut microbiome tests before. I was sponsored by Ombre at one point and am still sponsored by Viome. Viome has been my favorite for years even before they became a sponsor. Do you have any other GI mapping alternatives you recommend? I’m also thinking about taking a GI test from Genova in the future. As for the carnivore diet, I do think it has a place in the puzzle. I’m currently in the final stages of editing a nearly 60 minute video about the carnivore diet- hope to have it published in early January. I think it can be helpful, especially early on when any type of fiber might exacerbate highly inflamed areas in the colon/GI tract. There’s a few different components to how I would go about implementing a carnivore or animal based diet that will be better explained in the upcoming video! Hope you’re doing well and thank you for the support 👊🏻
My flare up was triggered by this diet. Kenny healed on a vegan diet at first, then omnivore. Prebiotics are like 1/4 of his program. Then again the anti inflammatory state of ketosis might be good enough to override the lack of prebiotics. But personally for me it’s a no go.
Hi Kenny! Can your gut diet be applied to Crohn's patients???
Hi Kenny! I have moderate UC, no blood but I have nothing but liquid diarrhea. I usually get 4mg of Dexamethasone, it helps but it only last a few weeks. Ive noticed that eating a hard boil egg, carrots, melon and clean lean meat helps me. I have gone suger free and feel exhausted. Please, i will be traveling soon. I have a month to get kinda better. What do u think i should do ? Please help. Thank you
Dear Brother thanks for precious video
I will pray for you to stay healthy.
Bro i have gastritis i am taking raw cow milk kefir in the morning with 2 bananas but i feel bloated during whole
Day i am also taking digestive enzymes with each meal but bloating is reduced about 70%
Please help me what to do to recover gastritis
I dont have ibd but i do have psoriasis and it seems like all the evidence is pointing to gut dysbiosis as the cause of most if not all auto immune disorders. So this channel is not just a haven for people with ibd but I suspect will be helpful to everybody who suffers from an auto immune disorder. Also what do you think, if anything, about the wim hof method? It seems to have, alone, helped people reverse auto immune problems.
I was having mild discomfort in the abdomen area that led to constipation where I didn't Poop for 3 days. When I finally did it, I saw fragments of blood in my poop. So I went to a Homeopathy as suggested by my In-Laws. After taking Homeopathic medicine, my issue worsened and I saw dark blood drippings before I get poop and after I poop, I used to bleed a lot. This never happened until I started taking Homeopathic medicines. I took those medicines for 10 days and during this period I used to bleed every time I had Bowel Movements and I used to call up my Dr and tell him that the medicines are not working. He never said anything and said I need to continue.
I had no clue why I was bleeding and I don't have any family history of this kind of health issue, so I was freaking out.
I was anxious and discontinued the medication and went to the ER to get diagnosed. After my colonoscopy, I got diagnosed with UC in March 2022. It felt weird as I heard the name for the first time and I didn't understand the gravity of my situation. I hit remission immediately after taking Mesalamine 1200 OD 2 tablets a day and two 1G Mesalamine suppositories within 2 days of being diagnosed. I was happy again and I started eating my normal Non-Veggie Indian rich food again. I took these medications till Oct 2022 and I thought I was okay, and stopped the medications immediately without consulting my Doc.
10 days later, my UC got flared up. I thought to myself that after having medications every day for the past 6 months, I stopped taking them and my issue is back again.
So I tried Homeopathic medication again for 20 days and it worsen my condition. So I stopped it.
I struggled to achieve remission again for the next two months. I finally did get into remission in Feb 2023.
In March 2023, in the month of Ramadan, since I started fasting, I got the UC flared up again. So, I stopped fasting after 20 days and started Prebiotics and Gut-friendly diet.
The diet did not help and I lost over 9 lbs. I continued the Diet anyway as I thought it will take some time to heal so I should keep going through the process. I kept bleeding profusely in every Bowel Movement and I was off medications and with a flared condition for the next two months till the first week of May 2023 when I gave up and finally decided to go back to the Hospital for treatment again.
I got an earful from the Doctor and now my medications include a Steroid-Enema "Hydrocortisone Acetate Foam 10%w/w-Entofoam" which I take twice a day along with 1g Mesalamine suppositories twice a day and 2 tablets of Mesalamine OD in a day.
It took a week of these medications to achieve remission. Now, I have remission achieved for over a month now and I'm feeling better.
I need help with the diet though and I am still searching for answers that may heal my Auto-immune condition via food and not these medications. So until I am not certain of it, I will not stop the medications.
Oh, by the way, I got this Ulcerative Colitis- an Auto-Immune condition exactly after 6 months when I survived and recovered from COVID-19.
Ive been bleeding since august and was diagnosed in September. Im currently on suppository steroids and it isnt working. I first started treatment with mesalamine suppositories and didn’t work either. My ulcerative colitis is the proctitis kind. My stool is mostly normal but loads of blood. Im so tired of looking at blood n mucus when I evacuate. I want to be positive but I’m so tired. Suffering from fibromyalgia doesn’t help either. Suggestions are w3lcomed. Thanks.
I have been diagnosed with left side Ulcerative colitis and i bleed pretty much every time i poop, I can reflect upon the statement that i can do anything to go normal again.
Thank God I haven't been pooping blood but i puke green and have green diarrhea im not sure if my medicine even helps me some days trying to quit drinking see if it helps me they say I have colitis got bad after gallbladder surgery
I have IBS, and in my own experience playing sports or exercising is as important as dieting.
I agree, exercise has also been one of the most helpful things for me as well.
WHAT MEDS ARE YOU ON?
Hey Kenny, you had this jar with a cage where you could store Kefir grains to easily ferment and swap batches. Do you have a link/name for it? I want to buy one.
Yes! This is the one I use, but I think you will need to buy a mason jar separately:

@@team_honnas Thanks man, appreciate it.
Why I get debilitating headaches for days if I drink raw milk kefir.
You saved my life bro. About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with IBS and was told by my doctor that I would have to stay on meds for the rest of my life. I got off them 2 months in, I just couldn't bear the pain. I found out about the Wim Hof method, used cannabis oil and followed your advice. I got so healthy and so happy. The pan literally went away in 1 month, THAT IS CRAZY. I was literally unable to move because of the pain and in less than a month of fermenting my own food and lifting weights I got better. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU ARE NOT A DOCTOR. YOU SAVED MY LIFE. I just wanna thank you and everybody that shares their experience. Much love
OOOOO I DONT TAKE KEFIR ANYMORE BUT KEFIR IS KEY!!!
Wow, that is fantastic news! So excited for you. 👊🏻 Thank you very much for sharing that! Fermented foods and weight lifting are definitely game changers. So glad you're doing well!
Hi,i am from Bangladesh.Can you help me? Since 2021 i was diagnosed gastrities and crohns.taking med after 1 month i had sever constipation, for that creat anal fissure and pils,then i take homeopathic but it creats reaction in my body.I feel burning in my esofegus and stomach. Then i went to cheek up.After cheek up they told me i have gastritis and nothing. They prescribed me trippol antibiotics and probiotic. I finished that medicine,after that i have sever diarrhea.Then i go to Bangladeshi doctor.Then he told me i have gastritis and ibs.He gave me antibiotics and many medicine. But i always Feel burning in my whole boddy.and hot sensation in my ear and body. I also lost 10 kg weight. Please help me what can i do? I feel so ill.
I am waiting for your reply....
OH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION!!! INTERMITENT FASTING IS KEY!!!! HAVE A PERIOD OF ATLEAST 12 HOURS OUT OF EVERY 24 WHEN YOU ONLY DRINK WATER. BUT REMEMBER TO DRINK A LOT OF IT. I trained myself to drink water everytime I felt burning! This will dilute your stomach acid. And follow your fast strictly cause breaking fasts is a serious matter and it could make you situation worse. FASTING IS KEY!!!
I was just diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and literally crying each day since I'm not sure how I will manage , I have always had insecurities with mybweight finally I gained the desired weight all of sudden BOOM UC hits me and lose weight insanly in no time , I feel like normal isn't for me anymore but that's not the problem it's how am i supposed to cope 😢
Kenny do you eat like rest of the people, like eat carbs, ice cream, eat sugar?
Also in Sweden here I can’t access Kefir so can I use kimchi and sauerkraut?
make kefir...go online and buy grains.
Hello kuya Kenny I am 17 years old and was diagnosed IBD OR crohn's disease,,help me bro on what diet you have recommended to me please😢🙏🙏🙏
I have had crohns since I was 11 and now 16 and it so hard especially with going to school and just enjoying life now, I take remicade infusions but now switching to humira but I definitely think there are better natural ways to heal the gut😢

Kenny, wondering why you would even do a colonoscopy in 2022 after having one in 2021?
I mean, if you were feeling good and all was going well, why do it so frequent?
I ask that because I followed your protocol and I'm currently in my 6th month of remission. I still do all the supplementary stuff, but I pretty much eat what I want and my bowel habits are great. I haven't had a colonoscopy since my initial one 2-years ago (which diagnosed my Ulceriative Colitis)
I'm leery to get a colonoscopy for a few reasons...
One is because I've worked so hard to balance my gut microbiome, and going through the colonoscopy will wipe it all clear and I'll have to start all over.
The other reason is because getting those damn colon biopsy's during the procedure cause damage to the colon and produce inflammation themselves...
Bottom line, I'm worried about having a flare after a colonoscopy... does that ever concern you?
Wow that is great news that you've been in remission for 6 months! Really happy to hear that. And yes, it does concern me that the colonoscopy bowel prep will essentially flush out my gut microbiome and cause dysbiosis. However, I continue to get colonoscopies for a few reasons. I want to continue monitoring what's happening inside my colon so that I can document my journey and show people where I'm at. This also allows me to make course corrections based on what the colonoscopy results are. Like this colonoscopy for example- even though I felt good there was still some inflammation in the colon. Now that I know that, I can start working to really improve in that area, become more disciplined in my protocol, etc. Also, colonoscopies are a very effective way to find and remove any pre-cancerous polyps that may be developing inside the colon. Since I've had polyps in the past, I want to make sure I'm doing my due diligence and getting colonoscopy screens when necessary. I understand there are risks to getting colonoscopies, but there are also risks to not getting them as well. I do think it's a good idea to be extremely disciplined with diet and exercise as soon as possible after a colonoscopy to rebuild/fortify the gut microbiome as there are likely going to be changes to the gut microbiome after drinking the liquid bowel prep. I definitely plan to be more disciplined after colonoscopies moving forward. As you think about whether or not to proceed with colonoscopies in the future, I definitely recommend consulting and working closely with your doctor as you make a decision. Again, really glad you're doing so well and wishing you all the best!

Curious, how have your calprotectin tests tracked? What I mean to ask is if you have a record of your tests when you were in bad shape, and then more recently?
It seems they are not only good indicator of colon inflammation but can also be used to detect polyps, let alone Colon Cancer.
Myself - my highest CP score was over 3,000, I took one last month with a score of 10... (thanks to following your protocol and a LOT of patience and effort... which people need to realise it takes.
Thank you so much, i av been watching most of your vedios since few week back now.,am a black lady in Nigeria/Afican,

Is dysbiosis the only root cause of ibd?
I’m starting to write my own book about how I cured myself from colitis because thanks to you and other people I’ve been able to learn how to slowly but surely cure myself from colitis and other things that I’ve had and now I can see that I am very close to becoming 100% cured
That’s great news! Glad you’re doing so well! 👊🏻
I'm really interested in such a book. When do you plan on publishing?
@@omarruder4129 I have no idea 😬 but maybe in 2024 or something because I’m working on another book first
@@team_honnas Thanks!!
@@luciferianwisdomunveiled I would love to talk with you
It's so hard to find that perfect diet that's gonna work for you. I've seen vegan diets that had good results, carnivore, now I am seeing yours. I don't know what to do! I have a big crohn's problem.
Are you still fasting ? I have been colitis free since fasting 4 days a month and drinking kefir and I believe most importantly cutting out sugar and highly processed carbs - there is definitely something in the gut biome that is important in this illness - but I need to see a number of years of success before I’m convinced- what’s you plan for 23 ?
Definitely need to be fasting more often than I am currently. Glad you’re doing well! Plan for 2023 is forthcoming 👊🏻
so inspiring...m having ulcer in terminal ileum..not in flares..just started healing protocol. my question is I get severe burning sensation in stomach with 1 glass of cabbage juice and also liquid stool..is that normal initially? m doing good with 16 oz celery juice...so shall I continue with celery juice or just push myself for cabbage
Great question! Quick reminder, I am not a doctor or a dietitian and the following information should NOT be taken as a substitute for medical advice NOR be acted upon without the approval and supervision of a licensed physician.
With that being said, in my opinion I don’t think it’s a good idea to force something like cabbage juice if it’s causing an increase in symptoms. I guess you could try decreasing the amount of cabbage juice to see if you can tolerate amounts. Otherwise I’d probably suggest ditching the cabbage juice and sticking to something that is helping like you said the celery juice is. I like the benefits that cabbage juice has to offer, but if it’s actively causing an increase in symptoms than I think the negatives outweigh the positives in that situation. Hope that helps. Definitely recommend discussing this with your doctor!
thank you so much for helping me it means a lot
@@team_honnasi had issues with cabbage juce too but instead of ditching it entirely I tried cabbage soup instead and that seemed perfectly fine for me. So it's not just foods it can also be the state they're in raw or cooked and how they're prepared.
Does anyone have experience optimizing with a whoop band/oura ring to help with tracking and controlling their Ulcerative Colitis? Wonder if it is beneficial
I use an oura ring to track my sleep and a little bit of exercise. I think it's helpful just to know how well I'm sleeping and making sure I'm getting enough exercise/movement on a daily basis.
Sir i have ulcerative colities problem i have daily 4 times go to the washroom, before go the washroon abdominal pain, stool urgency how to cure this pls help me iam from india
I am Suffering from IBD UC please help bro 😢😢😢😢
Can I get better on a vegan diet? I have ocd and can’t eat meat or dairy I have a genuine fear of eating it sad😢 wish I could
Since the carnivore diet is becoming more popular. I wonder if following it would help that mild inflammation go away. It is already very similar to your protocol now, just without the vegetables.
Yes it is very similar! I'm actually working on a really long carnivore video right now, hoping to have it out in the next few weeks.
I had the same colonoscopy results last year. Mild inflammation in the same area and my doctors were also discussing about crohns. Having my next colonoscopy in February.
I really didnt care about my food choices around Christmas and im doing better than before. Its such a weird disease.
Have you tried Qing Dai before? And have you read about the studies of dr. Pravda?
Glad you’re doing better than before! Hope your next colonoscopy goes well. Haven’t heard of Qing Dai before, and haven’t looked into Dr. Pravada’s info much yet either. Will need to look them both up 👍🏻
Qing Dai looks promising but there's not enough large studies done on it yet. From the small ones that have been done, it looks like there's risk for pulmonary hypertension and liver damage. There might be ways to mitigate those risks but until more research has been done, maybe hold off for a while unless you are willing to put up with those risks
@@allanxaesthetics I also read about pulmonary hypertension, but it only happened in one person, who wasnt even part of the study. Might have been coincidence. The liver should be observed while supplementing, that's true. Qing dai doesn't cause lasting liver problems though, they are reverseable. I know some people who had really great success with qing dai. Its worth a try, if your colitis is bad.
@@goldmund5593hello did you try indigo naturalist?
I’m with it. Since September all blood goon diarrhoea and mucus. It’s good results.
@@Englandmay Great News man. I'm also taking it low doses, maybe 0.5g a day. I do have some mild discomfort sometimes, but no blood and diarrhea since then anymore.
have your tried fasting to finish the inflammation and SIGA issues? try a few 2-3 day fasts.
I’m a big fan of 3 day fasts, but I definitely need to do them more frequently than I did this past year!
@@team_honnas we and I both. They are incredible for immune regulation. Thank for the vids. Stay on the up and up with your health brother.
Taking mesacol from 1 year
Hello sir I have been suffering from this disease for 5 years I pentasa 2g medicine I've been eating for a few days I'll be fine again A few days bad for me Advice
Don't eat food please
Please add Turkish subtitles.
Has anyone here had relief from chronic constipation by chance? Ive been dealing with it for 10yrs since i took accutane
Sorry to hear that. Have you ever supplemented with psyllium husk? It can be very helpful for constipation. Though, you should talk to your doctor about using it beforehand to go over the necessary precautions. Don't want to take too much as that can potentially constipate you even more or potentially cause a bowel blockage. But, if the minimum effective dose is taken with an adequate amount of water then it can significantly soften and bulk up bowel movements and increase regularity. I sometimes blend around 1/4 to 1/2 of a tablespoon into my smoothies, but I recommend discussing the dosage with your doctor.
Other than psyllium, I wonder if a smoothie consisting of blueberries, bananas, avocado, and kefir would help. This is probably my favorite smoothie recipe that really made a big improvement in my health. It's full of prebiotics from the fruit, and probiotics from the kefir. Really great for the gut microbiome.
@@team_honnas hey Kenny I appreciate the response, unfortunately psyllium husk supplements haven't been consistently good for me and I tend to bloat from them, this motivates me to start with very small dosages again though so thank you.
I might start a daily log on here sometime soon, it's been a wild ride I've had many points of considering subtotal colectomy due to such slow digestion. It's been such an inspiring thing to see you get your life back. You already know this but heres your daily reminder to live your life vigorously for those who can't due to health. If i return to decent health ill be unstoppable 💪
More videos Please ♥️🫶🏻
Working on it! 👊🏻
I been watching your videos for like 5 years now. It’s great what your doing. But in the end there is no cure and no matter what the inflammation will always come back. The goal is to not let it control your life. A little blood for a little while won’t hurt. As long as you can manage that and eventually make it stop. Once I see blood in stool I just pretty much stop all fiber and double my mesalamine and Indigo that I take and maybe a suppository here and there.
Not true. Maybe the inflammation will come back if you stress out or have bad habits for a long time, but if you live a preventative lifestyle it’s very possible that the inflammation will not come back.
@@randomperson5817 I don’t have stress. I’m living the dream. And what do you call bad habits. You gotta live a little too.

I couldn't understand bro, you got worst during 2022 because you didn't follow strictly your diet? (except the last 3months befoore colonoscopy)
Correct, I haven’t been following my protocol as closely as I should have for the last two years. I’ve only loosely been following my 4 keys. This has allowed me to still feel normal with no symptoms, but there has still been some mild inflammation in the colon even though I haven’t experienced any symptoms.
@@team_honnas I bet you indulged excessively in spicy foods
Mesalamine vegetable pills and suppository mesalamine. Saved me with a strange change in my diet saved me.
Hi, what do you mean with « mesa lamine vegetable pills »? Please
You have free will, Kenny... choose it and do it.
Whilst I agree that being symptom free healthy is the end goal, having mild inflammation still shows a sign of immune system dysfunction. Given that you're young, and have many years ahead of your life, this immune system dysfunction can manifest in other areas of your body as years go by. A good example of this is your doctor now thinks your diagnosis is Crohn's disease. As everyone with IBD knows, IBD is a silent killer. I think you have done a great job getting into remission, but saying that you are healed from UC is false information to your followers. This is not even classed as remission. As much as I love the content you put out, you are still technically and lucky to be in a symptom free flare up. Although fermented foods are extremely important, your theory that fermented foods heal IBD, especially in the form of raw milk kefir, no longer holds true.
I understand the points you’ve made and I think your thoughts are very fair. However, I’d like to point out a few things and explain some aspects that I disagree with. Firstly, I’ve taken very intentional steps over the last several years to stop using the word “healed” and have instead moved towards using the term “clinical remission”. While there is not a set definition for “clinical remission” in regards to IBD, it is generally agreed upon to mean the absence of most or all symptoms, though inflammation can still be present. Different papers have slightly varying definitions with different ways to score clinical activity. So, I have done my best to update the words I use to accurately describe the level of health I am experiencing. And I think clinical remission is the best term to use in my situation. It is a top priority for me to be honest and transparent with my audience. Which is why I make a point to use precise language like the term “clinical remission” at the beginning of my videos, and why I share my colonoscopy results even though inflammation was present. I am trying to chart a better way forward for individuals with IBD, but I am still very much human and I make mistakes. I try my very best to correct the mistakes I make as I move forward. Also, based on my colonoscopy, since inflammation was present, I would not be classified as being in endoscopic remission. But, since I am still asymptomatic, I do classify as being in clinical remission. I do agree that I am fortunate to be symptom free since I have not been following my protocol with as much discipline as I should have. However, I’ve never said that I think consuming fermented foods in isolation are enough to reverse IBD (to the best of my knowledge I’ve never said that, if I did that was wrong). My theory, based on what I’ve read on pubmed, is that optimizing the gut microbiome as a whole could potentially reverse IBD. Part of optimization of the gut microbiome includes fermented probiotic foods. But it also includes proper prebiotic food consumption, clean water, and appropriate amounts of exercise. And gut microbiome optimization after being diagnosed with IBD is an active process. Meaning that gut microbiome optimization requires daily cultivation. It’s not something that can be achieved once, and then ignored. If you achieve a stable, healthy, eubiotic gut microbiome and then abandon the things that helped you achieve that healthy gut microbiome, then it is likely going to become unhealthy again without proper upkeep. Leading to the return of inflammatory states. So in my case, I followed my 4 gut microbiome optimizing keys very loosely over the last 2 years. I was still following them, just not with as much discipline as I should have. But, even following them loosely seemed to be enough to keep my gut microbiome in a stable enough condition that prevented the return of symptoms, though it wasn’t enough to prevent the return of mild inflammation inside the colon. So, I actually disagree and think that my theory is still likely accurate- optimizing your gut microbiome with daily cultivation through probiotic fermented foods, prebiotic soluble fiber intake, clean water intake, and consistent exercise will reverse the inflammatory conditions that lead to IBD. This is what I did for about two years leading up to my 2018 colonoscopy which showed that I was in clinical, endoscopic, and histologic remission. I think that the major mistake that I made was not continuing to cultivate my gut microbiome after the 2018 colonoscopy. I should have continued to be disciplined with cultivating my gut microbiome. However, I became less disciplined in following my 4 principles (because I was not experiencing any symptoms, I thought I didn’t need to be as disciplined) and allowed my gut microbiome to regress again to the point where symptoms were not present, but mild inflammation inside the colon was present. So anyway, those are my thoughts, thank you for sharing yours. I’m working every day to improve in the areas I need to improve on and, again, do what I can to help chart a better way forward for individuals suffering from IBD. I hope you are doing well and wish you all the best!
Only thing I would add to this is:
- I was speaking to a man the other day who “healed” severe Crohn’s 30 years ago. He’s been symptom free since then with 0 symptoms but still has some mild ulcers.
At the end of the day, some mild ulcers but living 30 years without symptoms is pretty ideal and A LOT of people if not MOST with IBD would take that.
@@team_honnas Kenny, your info isn't "likey accurate " it's highly accurate.
Don't downgrade the words because of someone not paying full attention to your video.
@@dimitrichristou4889Hello everything is fine? Who is this man you talked to?
