    Plant based diets in Crohn's disease.

    Haven’t read that either,. I have read enough of his stuff to know he gets his science right though (and will revise his opinion as new science comes out). I’m not worried by the hype, highlighting real science to emphasise your point of view (also known as cherrypicking) is one thing, but...

    Plant based diets in Crohn's disease.

    I have to agree with this, it’s so frickin’ obvious BUT…….. It would be beneficial for people to understand the claims being made and the ‘evidence’ used to support these claims But first some context This link is to a letter to a scientific journal written by Mitsuro Chiba et al [1]...

    Ketogenic diets, any risks?

    One big problem with the internet is that you can find 'experts' with wildly conflicting views quoting scientific papers that seem to support their views. I have a pretty low opinion of vegan propaganda, so NutriotionFacts.org is pretty low on my personal list of reliable information. I mean...

    Trouble with SCD/grain free

    Hi, I did try SCD for a while and it helped me quite a bit but was not a perfect fit. I made the same mistake that many people make, skipping the intro and thinking I could eat anything on the 'legal' food list. Also I could not handle yougurt very well and that is a big part of SCD. After a few...

    Trouble with SCD/grain free

    Do you normally eat apple and peanut butter? Did you make big changes? Was your normal diet very different? Could be carbs and blood sugar. But as they like to say...."if you didn't do the intro you aren't doing SCD" It's an elimination diet and then you only eat the foods on the 'legal' list...

    May need to add carbs....rice?

    SCD has been around since the 50's and started as a cure for celiac disease before gluten was discovered.[1] It was assumed that since stopping all complex carbs 'cured' the disease then the problem must be...... all complex carbs. It is a diet that has given many people much benefit. But it...

    High LDL Levels

    found the ratios....(not sure who he is but seems ok) "One study found that a TG/HDL-C ratio above 4 was the most powerful independent predictor of developing coronary artery disease." " If lipid values are expressed as mg/dl (like in the US); TG/HDL-C ratio less than 2 is ideal...

    High LDL Levels

    I'm not a doctor, and this in not advice. Once upon a time it was 'Cholesterol is bad' Not so long ago it was 'HDL good, LDL bad' Now it seems that sdLDL (small dense) are bad and lfLDL (large fluffy) are good. The ratios of Total Cholesterol divided by High Density Cholesterol (TC/HDL) and...

    Efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

    That's the thing about elimination diets, To be effective you have to remove everything that might be problematic and then reintroduce them one at a time. Since different foods affect different people differently this means elimination diets are more effective that proscriptive “eat this, don't...

    Increased Diarrhea and Fatigue on Paleo

    I'm not putting forward any arguments about the quality of the studies or even the quality of the conclusions drawn from the studies, That's a whole other issue..... I'm saying there is plenty of evidence that diet and nutrition play a huge part in this disease. A few small trials, hundreds of...

    Increased Diarrhea and Fatigue on Paleo

    there are many studies showing diets or foods to be beneficial, not a cure but definitely worth investigating, Always keep your doctor informed . http://journals.lww.com/ibdjournal/Abstract/publishahead/Efficacy_of_the_Autoimmune_Protocol_Diet_for.98474.aspx...

    Increased Diarrhea and Fatigue on Paleo

    Tell us about your husbands standard diet and SCD/Paleo diet. When big changes are made lots of things happen and it is very hard to know what causes it. Maybe back up to a stable diet and re-evaluate? What is he eating and why, and what was he eating before? SCD is a very low carb not quite...

    Alternative Medicine

    I'd listen to a few of his podcasts and interviews first, see if the PHD resonates before spending the money [1]. Also (from memory) there is almost nothing specific to bowel disease in the book I got it from my library, enjoyed the read but don't feel a need to own it yet. First find out more...

    Case Western: High Fat Diet Reduces Gut Bacteria, Crohn’s Disease Symptoms

    Hi , Sorry, it was a bit of a rant, wasn't it? My problem wasn't with the study (which I still haven't found or read yet). It was with the reporting. The study itself seems straightforward, mice prone to the mouse analogue of crohns were fed a diet high in specific fats and had a corresponding...

    Ketogenic diets, any risks?

    Yeah, before we fucked everything up and contaminated the crap out of everything? If you start with the assumption that the study is legit then , it sounds reasonable. But is the study legit? If we stopped eating everything mentioned in dodgy science papers then there wouldn't be much left. I...

    Case Western: High Fat Diet Reduces Gut Bacteria, Crohn’s Disease Symptoms

    ““The finding is remarkable because it means that a Crohn’s patient could also have a beneficial effect on their gut bacteria and inflammation by only switching the type of fat in their diet,” said Alexander Rodriguez-Palacios, DVM, DVSc, PhD, first author on the study and Assistant Professor of...
