Crohn's is a condition resulting from the synergy of three environmental factors.

1. Too many antibiotics strip the intestinal tract of healthy bacteria.

2. Diet replete with unfermented grains that are naturally difficult to digest and mildly poisonous even with healthy complete intestinal bacteria leads to digestive difficulty and inflammation.

3. Diet heavy in sugar exacerbates infections that take hold due to intestinal inflammation. Chronic intestinal inflammation, infection, and digestive difficulty leads to an auto-immune response.

Congrats, your shitty diet and doctors reliance on antibiotics has given you Crohn's.

The most successful treatment for Crohn's is not novel at all. Stop eating un-fermented grains and cut out as much sugar as possible for an extended period (years) and then add probiotic and enzyme containing foods to your diet (yogurt, natto, raw potatoes, raw nuts, etc.). Pretty much a paleo/keto diet. Your body will heal itself in time if you can stay away from the center aisles of the grocery.

Raw potatoes are not part of Western diets, but they're full of enzymes and quite tasty.

Japanese yamaimo (mountain potato) is really good ground up raw with chunks of raw tuna and a dash of soy sauce and a bit of wasabi. The texture will probably be off putting the first couple times you try it, you might gag a little even, but the flavor is creamy and starchy and mates well with a lot of different ingredients.

The rationalist in me wants to say it is coincidence, but you're right for whatever reason (cause or effect).

Crohn's disease is linked with increased animal protein consumption, which is most likely the primary reason for increased incidence in the developed world compared with everywhere else. This factor could certainly be contributing to an increased base rate, in addition to any increased diagnosis rate.

They guy blaming antibiotics and recommending a paleo diet is a retard though.

It is the wheat crops. A combination of changing to a different type of wheat (originally developed in the USA) and the types of systemic pesticides being used in the various types of crops for staple foods. The microbes in your gut get removed because of the systemic pesticides that don't get removed during processing. Then you are still eating grain products in the amounts you always have. But these grains are a bit different and exacerbate the problem. From there, it is a downward spiral of inflammation and wacky immune-system hijinks.

If you want to eat wheat/grain products, I suggest you go to a supplier of organic heirloom wheat/grain varieties and make your own wheat/grain products. Or, grow your own.

While normally I'd consider such speculation about as valid as saying vaccinations cause autism, the idea that the explosion of bowel problems is likely diet related is worth investigating. The diets popular in the US and UK tend to be heavy on wheat, sugar, meat and dairy, while being pretty light on vegetables and legumes. That's going to have an effect on our gut flora.

I don't think there's yet enough science to specifically point the finger at the most commonly available wheat, but I try to play it safe, consuming mostly organic wheat. It's one of the few things I'll buy organic.

Certainly, but it doesn't even have to go that far. A lot of people eat horribly unbalanced diets; even without a change in gut flora it's still no surprise that digestive issues pop up.

There you have it. My suspicion is that while a percentage of people with Chron's or IBS just have a fucked up medical condition many others with similar symptoms are doing it to themselves by eating a shitty diet. The number of people who pretty much live on fast and convenience food is staggering. It would seem odd to me if that didn't fuck some of them up.

CONGRADULATIONS! you're screwed!

Seriously though, coming from a guy who's lived with crohn's for 19 years, it's somewhat genetic, so if both your parents have a problem like that, then you might as well suck it up. On the plus side however, at least you'll never have to worry too much about losing weight. Just hope and pray you don't get diagnoised for it.

Also, that guy recommending taking all your sugar out of your diet and having a paleo diet? he's full of shit. I went on a diet similar for it and I was about the worst person you could meet.

Crohn's is an actual disease with clear symptoms that has many known genetic factors that predispose people to it. IBS is just a constellation of symptoms that does not attribute any causal factor.

Just because the cause is diet doesn't mean someone doesn't have IBS because it's literally just describing a group of symptoms, and the cause of Crohn's is never diet alone (though it's well known that certain dietary factors such as consumption of large amounts of animal and dairy protein are associated with higher risk of developing Crohn's.)

And what evidence is there that it has anything to do with either Crohn's or IBS or any other health condition?

By the way, some GMO kook wrote a bogus article about farmers spraying wheat with Roundup to dry the crop out. The reality is that if that is done, it is very rare for several reasons including cost. It would cost so much to do that the farmer would necessarily lose money on the crop.

It's exactly that, but it's a very specific set of chronic problems not just a tendency to generalized digestive issues.

>>6205145
The way crohn's disease works (and i'm simply paraphrasing what my doc told me) is that the white blood cells in your body see YOU as the bad guy and begin to attack the body itself. To keep it chilled out, you take immuno-suppressents to do it, which makes you more susceptable to disease, but keeps your crohn's from flaring up. It's quite literally poison, but a poison which keeps me from dying on the toilet.

It was from this completely sugar free diet which meant no fruit, no to some veggies, nuts, mushrooms, a few gluten free grains (which i've discovered actually does the opposite of helping with crohn's and has little to no benefit for it at all) no meat, no to a lot of dairy.

This is the tale tell sign. It was the yogurt. You made it incorrectly. Something happened like you didn't pasteurize it or after it was starting to incubate it got infected. The result is bad bacteria culture instead of good stuff. The good stuff will just get more sour as it gets older.

When correctly made, you can stop it at any point where you like the level of sourness or lack of for that matter. If you want it thick but not too sour for your tastes, you reduce the milk a good bit.

The legendary effects of sugar free haribo gummies (and other diabetic candies) is due to sugar alcohol sweeteners. In the case of haribo it's maltitol.

I hate that whole crowd that thinks they have the secret to fixing it. It's like the shame people that just shill yoga for everything.

That said, there definitely are food triggers.

Soda does it for me. Give me a soda and in under an hour, i'll be stuck in the bathroom. I've even cleared rooms out from just having KFC.

Probably comes from the stress of knowing the kikes cucked Britain into fighting Hitler (who didn't even want to fight Britain and let the British army escape Dunkirk early in the war when he could have pulverized them) and their reward was being invaded by shitskins

It's a class of sweeteners, like xylitol. Dentists are excited about it because it tastes sweet so bacteria try to go for it, but starve because it's alcohol and they can't digest it.

Oh man, I was diagnosed with Crohn's a few months ago. So far they started me on some basic drugs but they aren't working that well.

I am terrified.

ouch....

Well, have they talked to you at all about your diet yet? because it can help to a certain degree. Surgery is only for the absolute worst case "your body isn't responding to the drugs we're giving it" scenario.

I will say one thing though. Colonoscopies are now going to become your friend and your most hated enemy.

My GI Doctor said that I need to take it easy on fiber for now. I've been juicing fruits and vegetables for nutrients so my diet doesn't consist purely of chicken and rice.

But otherwise he said that different people respond to different diets and it's hard to come to any universal conclusion.

I had a colonoscopy already. The worst part was honestly the insane laxatives they make you take holy shit.

Yeah, those laxatives are what make me believe that doctors are secretly sadists. But, I did find that using straight black coffee as a kind of mouthwash right after ever drink of the stuff does get the taste out of your mouth.

As for diet, just try and keep an eye out for anything that might set ya off. Things like fried foods, cakes, drinks. But if you do want something and can't help but have one, plan to stay at home that night. That's my general rule.

Thanks anon. Even though it's genetics I have the distinct honor of being the first person in my family to get it, so it's nice to get to talk to somebody else.

my pleasure. glad to have helped as much as I could. I just wish i had the same help when I was 13. 32 now and damn if it's still a bitch to have.

Look on the bright side, at least now you never have to worry about losing weight. It's just gaining it that can be a problem now.

Surgeryfag here. To add to what the other Anon said, there's no one size fits all Crohns diet, your doctors may consider an elimination diet where for a month or so you are fed only by a milkshake through an NG tube (you won't want to drink it). It gives your gut a rest and as it ends you can reintroduce foods 1 by 1 to test for reactions. sounds miserable but the gut rest can help the meds work.

Also +1 to the weight thing. Crohns is a great weight loss programme.
