The IBD Remission Diet

by Jini Patel Thompson

The IBD Remission Diet is ideal for anyone with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis or severe irritable bowel syndrome who has had enough of the drugs and surgery cycle. It’s an easy to follow, 100% natural program that combines an elemental liquid bowel rest diet with tried and tested natural remedies proven to heal the rectum, bowel and colon. If you're ready to take control of your health and heal your IBD naturally, then make the most of this step-by-step program 1. Stop bleeding and heal inflammation 2. Give intestinal fissures, fistulas and ulcers time to heal 3. Heal the mucosal lining of the intestine with targeted amino acids and herbs 4. Heal leaky gut syndrome 5. Clear intestinal obstructions 6. Replace bad and imbalanced intestinal flora with good bacteria 7. Provide a layer of good bacteria to coat and protect the mucosal lining from toxins, parasites, fungus and damage 8. Ensure long-term, ongoing health in the entire GI system 9. Heal and balance the immune system with proven supplements 10. Gain solid weight (muscle) if underweight or malnourished 11. Test for food intolerances and allergies 12. Achieve emotional healing 13. Prevent relapses with a Maintenance Diet Dozens of clinical studies have shown that an elemental liquid diet is as effective as steroids at inducing remission for IBD, in an average 3 to 6 weeks. An elemental diet is one where EVERYTHING you consume for 3 to 6 weeks is in liquid, pre-digested form. It combines protein shakes with vegetable broths, bone broths, homemade jello and supplements. You can also do a vegan version. But if you “cheat”, you will not be providing the total bowel rest necessary for healing. Because your diet is completely liquid, be prepared for multiple liquid bowel movements throughout the day. This is not diarrhea – liquid elemental diets produce liquid stool. You will likely need to take time off your regular schedule to do this diet.

For those of us who are tired of recurring bouts of digestive distress and disease, this books provides natural, healthy alternatives to antibiotics and surgery. I have found the Oregano Oil protocol to be very helpful!
