Questions?
Many of us who suffer from Crohn’s & UC have tried a variety of diets to heal our system from IBD but rarely with much success.
Why?
Is it about being Gluten Free? Dairy Free? Vegan? Paleo? Alkalizing? Raw?
With so many options available, we need a guideline to not only what we eat; but also a guideline on how to eat it. Our goals should be to eliminate not just unhealthy foods but also foods that don’t work for our personal systems.
Our bodies are all unique and react to foods differently but there are common “rules of thumb” we can implement to start healing the gut, reducing daily bowel movements, bleeding, bloating, pain, indigestion, etc…
3 steps you can take to increase healing are:
These steps are not meant to complicate our lives but simplify them and help free us from the symptoms of Crohn’s & Colitis.
Definition:
“A diet regimen aimed at identifying foods or additives that may be causing an allergy or symptom usually involving the removal of suspected foodstuffs from the diet then adding them back one at a time to see which ones make the symptoms recur.”
It’s not just about what you eat but what you DON’T eat. What you don’t eat could be considered even more important than what you do eat, especially when you’re health is in critical condition. Our goal is to create an environment in your G.I. that stops damage and allows your body the chance to start healing.
Imagine a scratch on your arm….the more anything comes in contact with it the more irritated, infected, and inflamed,it will become. The digestive tissues in the G.I. work much the same. All body needs a consistent amount of uninterrupted time to heal. In some cases, foods which are considered “healthy” can hurt our stomachs even more than the “unhealthy” foods. Does this mean you should eat Mcdonalds Burgers & Saltine Crackers because you don’t seem to get a belly ache?
No…
But it does give us an idea of how we can create a win/win/win scenario with our diet.
Wins…
Implementing an elimination diet can be the very thing our bodies need to restore health. In many cases, people suffering from Crohn’s/Colitis see a dramatic difference from consistently practicing an elimination diet.
And so forth…
This will give you an idea of how you handle a variety of items and give you some staple meals and foods you can get when you’re traveling, at work or at restaurants. It’s not just about the healing effect but also the knowledge to handle stressful moments outside of your house.
These meals are not forever, they are more about giving the G.I. tract time to heal and learning the avenues you can take to live life on your terms.
This can also be done with the elemental shake (seen later in this blog)
Have you ever noticed that sometimes you can eat a certain food but then other time you can’t?
Was it the way you cooked it? The spices? The stress you were under when you ate it? Hormones? How intense of a flare you were in?
The answer is all the above
During a flare we need to take many aspects into consideration. Our bodies are in a weak state that cannot handle the stress of most foods so we need to prepare our meals and our system to give us the best chance of healing.We can do this by making sure are nervous systems are in a parasympathetic state and our foods are cooked for optimal absorption.
Here are some methods that could help:
Give some of these ideas a try and see if you notice a difference.
In the beginning, you may only feel a small difference but a strong house is built one brick at a time! If we combine these daily actions into our eating regimen we can see a dramatic difference without actually changing the type of food we’re eating.
Make sense?
It’s not just what we’re eating it but how we are eating it. Which foods and how we consume them are both very important for healing. To start try adding 4 of the top examples to your daily regimen. After 1-2 weeks add 1 more, then 1 more 1-2 weeks later, and so forth…
If we can practice the majority of the above options we start changing our lifestyle in a way that promotes gut health. Soon it won’t be work at all, just lifestyle choices that make you feel good.
It’s not necessarily “work” to stop things that make us feel bad, we just know better over time. This is a principle many of us take up as get older anyways…
For example, chewing your food 30 times, drinking less that 4oz of water with your meal, salivating when eating, and eating outside are easy daily actions with minimal effort. It’s important to note we rarely find one method that dramatically heals our system. It’s the daily cumulative actions we take that create an overall difference in our health
Semi – Elemental Diet
Define –
“Contains nutrients as small molecular weight compounds, i.e. proteins as amino acids or peptides, carbohydrates as oligosaccharides or monosaccharides, and fats as medium-chain triglycerides. Used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease. Called also monomeric diet.” (ListenToYourGut.com)
In short, an elemental meal is when the nutrients is broken down into more absorbable matter.
Think of a smoothie, shake, or pureed food…
Depending on your personal situation, an elemental or semi-elemental diet may be a fantastic healing meal in your regimen.
A semi-elemental diet is when a certain amount of meals are in liquid form. Meaning not all of our meals are elemental only some of them. This protects us from the possible issues of having a fully liquid diet while maintaining our lifestyle and stressors.
We can add nutritious foods and supplements into an elemental shake that can help:
A full elemental diet is very healing and can be done for 1-2 days (or much longer) when you have downtime, but a semi-elemental diet is easier to sustain in the long run.I suggest you work with a physician before trying a full on elemental diet for a long period of time. These meals allow our bodies to soak up an abundance of nutrients while using a quarter of the energy to do so.
Elemental meals are easily made free of dairy, gluten, refined sugars, and lectins. This makes it much easier is to follow the rules of the elimination diet and food preparation. In under 5 minutes we can make a raw, vegan, nutritious, organic, great-tasting, and easily absorbable meal that is healing on our system.
A win/win/win under 10 bucks!
If you experience any adverse effects, chances are you added something your body cannot take, you drank it too fast, you were in a stressed state, or you needed to add healing ingredients like Grounded Psyllium Husk or Grounded Slippery Elm.
Let us acknowledge that none of this is easy, self discipline is heavily weighted on faith and persistence.
There is great opportunity in our adversities. Self empowerment is priceless and where we overcome, we also become stronger. Focus on where you want to be and simple solutions that bring peace & freedom to your life – these methods are not chains but wings!
