    Starting Skyrizi next week.. need some support and some questions

    Yeah I was exactly the same it's likely due to you having a problem with digesting fat. The ileum forms multiple functions in relation to the release of bile acids and reabsorbing them. Chrons messes with that significantly. I had to start off with a really low fat regimen and slowly build up my...

    Starting Skyrizi next week.. need some support and some questions

    I too have chrons of the terminal ileum, I too saw the horror stories of how difficult immunosuppressants can be. I sought a different solution and found one. Please read https://crohnsforum.com/threads/i-am-now-in-remission.87349/ https://crohnsforum.com/threads/carnivore-diet.87365/ Any...

    I am now in remission

    Good luck my friend. I strongly recommend that you do everything properly. Strict PKD, measure ketones etc. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch

    I am now in remission

    So first up, just remember carnivore is not the same as PKD. I personally would advise the PKD but if you want to go carnivore that's fine. Most people do absolutely fine on carnivore, PKD is a lot more restrictive at first to ensure results are achieved. You want to be aiming for 2:1 fat to...

    Carnivore diet.

    Incase you're interested creggers, this is the diet I'm on https://keto-mojo.com/article/what-is-the-paleolithic-ketogenic-diet-pkd/ I do it through a clinic called Paleomedicina, you can find them online. It starts out as strict meat only carnivore but over time they allow you to introduce...

    Carnivore diet.

    Again, this is looking at the effect of red meat on a standard western diet, slowing down digestion. Yes slowing down the digestion of a western diet will make things difficult because there is so much rubbish in there. This is why fibre is promoted so much, something you don't actually need...

    Carnivore diet.

    You are absolutely right. Carnivore is completely sustainable and extremely healthy so long as you eat high quality grass fed muscle and organ meats.

    Carnivore diet.

    I understand why you'd think this but it isn't true, I'd recommend doing some research on this if you are interested in the diet. There's plenty of studies showing that contrary to what was previously believed you don't need the same amount of vitamins and minerals to sustain carnivore, it...

    Carnivore diet.

    The reason people feel great on carnivore is because it cuts out all of the potential triggers, is easy to digest, is highly nutritious and if managed correctly induces autophagy which is one of the body's major healing mechanisms.

    Carnivore diet.

    After 6 months of doing this my bloods went back to normal and my calprotectin levels had dropped from 1500 to 600. Still a ways to go but massive improvements. Unfortunately once chrons has taken hold you often can't just cut out individual items because the damage is done. You have to cut out...

    Carnivore diet.

    Yeah if you go to the your story section of the forum and then see my thread called I am now in remission, you'll see a lot of the pushback you get from doing this sort of diet. My only advice would be to make sure you are including organ meats, you can become nutritionally deficient quite...

    Carnivore diet.

    I do a strict carnivore diet called PKD. I eat nothing but beef and beef liver right now. Have been doing carnivore for seven months in total and it put me in remission. Glad to hear you're doing well. It's helping lots and lots of people. PKD basically starts out as strict carnivore until you...

    I would hazard a guess you are correct!

    I am now in remission

    I've just had to check the dictionary for remission to make sure I was using it correctly. I think my circumstances fit that but I'm happy to be corrected! My symptoms have reduced to next to nothing but you are most certainly right, I'm not in complete remission and still have some time to go...

    I am now in remission

    Before I started this diet I was eating a healthyish western diet. So while I did have the occasional treat it was mainly fruit, veg, meat (supermarket bought), tinned foods. Just general foodstuffs but not lots of takeaways and mcdonalds etc. I'd have those maybe once a month. I'm eating to...

    I am now in remission

    If you want to try PKD but don't want to go through paleomedicina I recommend reviewing this book https://sa.nutriintervention.com/the-cookbook It's written by a dietician that Paleo Medicina schedule you a meeting with when you start and has a lot of information about what you need to be doing.

    I am now in remission

    My calprotectin test returned and I'm at 684, which is still high but not as high as my previous result of 1140 and that was less than my last result when I first started this diet which was over 1500. Symptoms are staying low to non-existent and I'm on track to full recovery. If anyone would...

    Crohn or not?

    Calprotectine is not an exact science, it's only roughly accurate. So I wouldn't worry too much about that and as far as chrons is concerned your levels are not high. When I was really suffering my levels were over 1000+. If your blood is red then it means its happening closer to your anus and...
