Interview with Mountaindog1

[MooseKnuckles]

Yea - I know quite a bit about it..very unpredictable and no magic formulas. Doctors can't figure it out. I have guys I work with that have Crohn's also...

I am headed to bed right now, but I'll post some things up tomorrow I have done with people in that boat...

JM

Thanks look forward to seeing your post

I have never personally met John, but he seems to be a very honest guy. He goes out of his way to answer PM's.

Hey john I have ulcerative colitis and have one hell of a time gaining weight I do take asacol to keep it under control but I was wondering for a few words of advice on gaining weight with colitis I know you didnt have it but it sounds like you understand what it is

OK, some thoughts on colitus....

whether it be colitus or crohns, I always look at what the root cause probably is, and that's intestinal permeability. That is just a fancy way of saying that bad things are able to pass through weakened cell membranes..you have toxic stuff entering your blood stream because the intestinal lining is damaged. This causes havoc. I have always believed the best way to fight this is by restoring gut integrity.

So you help the good bacteria by taking some good pre and probiotics. You eat more fermented and "live" foods that are loaded with enzymes to help with digestion. You take supplements to fight free radicals because they are running wild and tearing up your intestinal lining..such as NAC, ALA, CoQ10, glutamine, and vit c.

You must also control stress..stress trigger responses that also do damage. Stress is a killer. Learn to relax and not take yourself and life so seriously.

Food wise, they say meat is a no no, but I have my guys with crohns eating grass fed beef and it digests awesome. One guy recently had a checkup and was told he was symptom free for the first time in 20 years. he eats loads of grass fed beef. You do have to be really careful though with what you eat...and anything that causes discomfort stay away from. Raw nuts are good (they still have the lipase in them to help digest the fat), but don't overdo it. Veggies are great..but don't overdue. Be really careful about the kind of protein powder you use.

Hope this helps some,

best regards,
JM
