Gerald Green diet- Breaking through the Untouchable diseases

ok ok e. this is my post and no fighting is alllowed. im only posting this to let people learn what has so far got rid of my symptoms. I beleive that everyone weather they want to go the med route or the diet route they should share their experiences. If no one shares then we will not learn from anything. Gerald is a firm beleiver that his diet works for most people. Its up to the idividual to try it and stick to it. But if you chose not to then its your choice not anyone elses. For me also posting this is good I now know you can get into dangours things as well as healthy things. I wish Health to us all :)

bananas are good but i think only if they have the brown spots. Ive had them make me constipated before and it was because i was eating them bright yellow. They did help with the urgency and they did help with my energy. but being on a high fruit diet and eating 7-10 of them a day did not help with the bleeding. No i couldent get rid of that with them unfortuantlly. doesnt mean that some people cant. I have heard of one guy curing his UC by eating nothing but bannas for 6 weeks. They are a power fruit. If you eat them with bread or some other grain you will never experience how powerful they are. I went completly raw frutian for a wile and wow the power in that fruit was amazing. I felt so strong and wanted to run every where. In the morrnings I would make a big banana smoothie and drink it before work. Being a frutian also helped me stop getting the flus and colds. I think it is grains that cause the flus and colds. our body has to work harder to digest it.

I'm not an expert, just 10 years with UC. You have a good question. I have never taken Flagyl, just the usual antibiotics for infection as well as prophylactic before dental work due to possible MVP (mitral valve prolapse). I believe the antibiotics I took contributed to my getting UC at a time when I had other medical issues (anemia) that made my body weak. I probably have a genetic weakness for UC since I am Northern European descent which has higher incidence, along with Ashke**** Jews. But now the disease is crossing many lines of countries, races, ages and heritages.

The problem is: if antibiotics can CAUSE UC by killing off the good gut flora how could we use them to cure UC?
SCD uses probotics in their homemade yogurt to get some re-population going. I did not do well with the yogurt so I take VSL#3 which I believe has had more effect that another probiotic I took.

Will we ever see any serious studies done on probiotics? i doubt it because how could a drug company patent them and make money?

P.S. I like your sig. about Nature holding the keys. I believe that totally.
P.P.S. Pretty funny-I didn't *** out that word, the forum must have an override. It's not a bad word, really.

Gerald beleives that medication can trigger IBD. I think he beleives that because medication has a lot of chemicals which are body does not know how to handle. Also they kill all bacteria good and bad so yea I think that they crerate imbalances.  Gerald  does use a natual anitibiotic which is golden seal. for some people this has knocked out the flares completly. But you still have to use the diet. If you are eating normal stuff with added sugars candida will continue to feed on it and over ride what ever medication or antiboitic you are using. This is why we flare even on medication as candida seems to just keep over riding it. Saying that i know there are people on this form who have had success with the medication but for many like myself our UC just keeps comming back. I beleive that when you take probiotics that the good bacteria eats the bad bacteria. So taking one will make a lot of differece to us. I have also heard that many people have had success with psyllium husk. I recently found out that in all natual powerders to remove candida psyllium is the first ingredient used. In whole foods they sell a powder which is a candida removal. the first ingredient it has in it is psyllium husk. I also use this along with a probiotic and golden seal. It seems to really help.

I'm jumping on this old tread, last time I had UC I tried the SCD diet it helped.
I'm definelty going to try Gerald Green's diet above thanks Hello Kitty as I am convinced in my mind for me that
this is the issue. Diet is key, there is a reason why we get UC and the only thing passing through our colon's is waste food.
So makes sense to me that what we put in affects us.

I know I can safely say certain foods affect me more than others.

Instead of waiting days, weeks or months for the bad bacteria to starve, why not take antibiotics?

That's a really good question. I don't have an answer but you make a good point.

Because antibiotics kill ALL gut flora and we need the good gut flora alive for a good healthy colon.

That's wonderful that you got into remission. I strongly feel my UC started by taking antibiotics too often and my colon was not able to recover.

Killcolits- I just want to say that I was eating a ton of hummus before my very first flair up. I can't say for sure that is caused it, but wanted to just put in my 2 cents.

I have been a big sugar eater all my life. I wouldn't doubt that it has played a roll in my health problems. Have taken numerous antibiotics through the years though not excessively. I recently began Doug Kaufmann's antifungal diet. My docs want to "discuss my options" so I decided I wanted to try dietary changes before I went on to harsher meds. This only comes after my worst year ever with IBD and feeling like my docs, despite their best intentions, have left me feeling like they aren't able to completely help me anyway. I just have to know I tried before I succumb to my inevitable fate, if that's what it comes down to. I find this antifungal theory very intriging, and if true, our docs apparently don't get taught enough about it. I haven't started on the natural antifungal supplements yet because I'm trying to avoid or lessen the "die-off" reaction.

Good luck with it and please let us know how it goes. Even if it only helps 1 other person, it's worth it. I bet one day they find out we are dealing with more than one or two diseases and that will be why these different approaches don't always help everyone. I honestly felt better when I did the Maker's Diet but after I moved and had financial issues, I didn't stick with it. There's some similarity so maybe that diet helps with fungus too. Like the SCD helps quite a few people it seems. I just know, without proper motivation, I tend to make bad food choices. I probably have kept Kelloggs in business because pop tarts are easy to digest when I flare and convenient to eat when I need to take food with meds.

Raw milk fermented into kefir will fix you. You need bacteria in you! UC is caused by bacteria imbalance, candida, etc. Sugar is bad of course.

Soy is not human food. Soy milk is a byproduct of processing soy beans for industrial uses and they found a way to market it as a dairy replacement.

Pasteurized milk in grocery stores is cooked milk and all the nutrients and bacteria are dead. It is NOT good for you at all.

Raw milk and other animal foods are what we need.

I highly recommend Aajonus Vonderplanitz's books, "We Want to Live" and "The Recipe for Living Without Disease."

This new way of life has cured my colitis and given me the best bowel movements of my life, with very little gas. I have the kind of stools you wouldn't have to wipe after, if you didn't want to. (Always good to check of course.)
