• Welcome to Crohn's Forum, a support group for people with all forms of IBD. While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes. We invite you to join us.

Trained GI goes alternative in her own microbiome awakening.

She is a real doctor who changed the way she treated patients after examining the GI tract of an IBD patient who used diet to control the disease without drugs as well as having a microbiome "awakening" after observing her own daughters health issues and problems with antibiotics being over prescribed and ineffective for her daughters issues. At least watch the first 22 minutes. She says her success rate of getting people off of drugs for ibd is 80%. Also please visit my thread on fecal microbiota transplants for IBD in the link below this post.

very interesting Dr Robynne Chatkan, thanks!
Sounds like she prescribes SCD/Paleo / IBD-AID type of diets and encourages mediation/relaxation.
Hopefully this doctor will eventually come up with a book resuming the paths of her IBD patients who get better. Too bad she is now in private practice and no longer in hospital settings so she could do research and have more influence.

It also sounded like she was heavily indoctrinated by her training to assume dietary changes had no role in medicine, without reference to any real scientific investigation. And this is sad to hear from doctors that are on the side of scientific medicine, to be indoctrinated, is certainly far from what science is.
