I'm going in circles with all the different diets out there. I'm not talking weight loss (I already found what works for me!) rather, I'm trying to figure out what's best for my hubby.
I started out looking at what others have done to deal with Crohn's and colitis. I quickly realized that they are aimed at stopping the (sorry!! gotta say it!) diarrhea that causes suffers most of the complications.
That's the weird thing about Damon. He doesn't have all the normal symptoms at all. Cutting fibre would cause more problems!!
I feel his ghost pain (they can't see anything wrong where he hurts) is actually the cause of the IBD which came only recently. The pain has been there for over 5 years. Anyway. I digress. I decided to investigate celiac and what diet they follow.
So gluten free research complete but I feel I'm still not quite on track. I took it one step further. What if it's not necessary to eliminate any real food. Can't I just find a balance to reduce inflammation in his system?
Yes, yes I can. I had read up on Kris Carr's ph balancing diet but again she takes away more than I think is necessary. Free will to her to use what works great for her! Then I stumbled on a diet that focuses on balancing the inflammatory and anti inflammatory aspects of all foods. This is great!
I can literally take the healthy choices we already eat and simply balance them in how we combine them in a day. I may still try the gluten free diet on him too but I think this is a good place to start.
I also think that Evelyn Tribole has some other very interesting books.
