Colonoscopy Results After NOT Following My Protocol for One Year | IBD Clinical Remission 

That is fantastic news, so happy you've seen so much improvement! Thank you very much for sharing, really appreciate it. Wishing you continued success.

How are you now??

i my gastroentologist is only interested in pushing medicines, does not care for my health at all. Can you please let me know a bit more about biologics?

Oooh, good question. I was doing so many different things at the same time it's difficult to isolate what I think gave me the best results. I noticed a huge difference when I began adding kefir to my smoothies and implemented intermittent fasting. I exercised throughout the entire time I was working to improve my health which I think really gave me an edge for a number of reasons including the ones you mentioned. I definitely noticed feeling worse when I wasn't consistently exercising!

Exercise sounds like a good idea, but what if you're too weak from UC? I've lost half my body weight already, but still feeling better than I've done in years. I'm also taking probiotic supplements from Garden of Life, which seem to be helping a whole lot. I also avoid all nightshade vegetables and all spices which are derived from seeds e.g. black pepper, nutmeg etc. Cooking without them is quite challenging, but boy am I feeling better! I think my gut is slowly healing.Thank God! I can't wait to get to where Kenny is and be able to eat whatever I like🤗

@@faithpersaud8803 Exercise looks different for everybody. Do whatever you can, even if you feel totally weak. Just walking outside is way way way better than nothing.

@@team_honnas I'm a sportsman but after 2 months of illness I rarely exercise because I'm afraid that when I exercise my body gets thinner and makes my weight go down again, while not being active can lose weight, do you have a solution for me to gain weight? and how do i get my intestines back

Thanks man! Hope your recovery is going smoothly. Talk soon

@@team_honnas still some way to go, but getting healthier day by day. It wasnt part of the plan, but hey, what doesnt kill me makes me stronger 😉

That is really cool, thank you for sharing that! Super glad you're doing so much better. Congratulations and am wishing you continued success. 👊🏻

That is amazing news! Thank you for sharing. Wishing you continued success. God bless

Are you meds free?

@@recepie-house no meds, No urges, and my full strength and ability to have beer is back. Colonoscopy Proof as well. From blood red.. to now skin color and free of inflammation.

@@team_honnas

@@kdkinen can u eat anything now

I'm so happy to hear that the information has been helpful! Thank you for sharing and I'm wishing you continued success. God bless

Thank you very much for the kind words. I've had so much help along the way and I really feel like God dumped all of the information I needed to get healthy right into my lap. I just put it all into practice and it started working. God bless you as well!

Why wait until you're healed?

@@richarddukard8989 I am currently eating healthy foods. I meant that once I am healed I am not going to eat unhealthy foods as I did before I got gut issues

@@BluStarGalaxy are u healed?

@@recepie-house Still working on it. Taking colostrum and drinking homemade kefir along with doing the gaps diet. I think fixing gut issues can take awhile for some people.

@@BluStarGalaxy how long have u been doing this and have u seen any improvements

So excited you're seeing improvement with the exercise and biome optima combo! I love making these videos so I'm very glad to hear they're helping. Thanks for sharing and wishing you the best. 👊🏻

Because you removed fibers, logically it wont hurt you but try to eat a high fiber whole meal to see if you arent really healed at all, ouch quite the opposite, you made the problem worse because all animals products are harmful to the microbiome and are pro inflammatory, typical.

Good to hear from you, Sarah. Sorry I haven't responded to your email, I'm a little backed up on those haha. Totally understand the mental game being such a huge portion of the battle, but glad you're in a good head space and have good nutrition as well. Powerful combo. Kara and I will be praying for your speedy recovery, God bless you too!

@@team_honnas similar position! Thank God for Jesus 💙 and thank God for His wisdom!

@@team_honnas You're the best!! Send my love to Kara too! And please, please don't worry about the email! lol I totally get it!! I just didn't want to assume you'd gotten to it and make it confusing! haha Take care, dear friend and brother!

Thank you! I agree, the change is very noticeable.

What was the exact treatment to increase testo, steroids?

@Jassa Singh testosterone therapy through my doctor. Testosterone cypionate

@Jassa Singh decreased male fertility, but besides that only good things

@Jassa Singh no

You don’t have as severe uc as you think then. Severe UC will not respond to any medication or diets or fasting or detoxification. I was one of them for 8 years I tried everything. Surgery was needed. Surgery is for severe cases

@@willk3915 I think I just caught it early idk everyone is different with this disease. My colonoscopy said only part of my colon was inflamed but none the less it was life altering and I was really sick

@@PierresWildAdventure hey basically what you ate to heal yourself.. Even kefir didnt suit me

@@godiseverywhere2809 I wake up and take colostrum and probiotics every morning on an empty stomach then I wait half an hour and drink a banana blueberry and cocoa powder kefir shake for breakfast. Then I wait till about 5 pm and have either fish or chicken with salad or vegetables. I only took kefir for a month because then it started upsetting my stomach. I don't eat any dairy or gluten and zero fast food. Hope that helps

That’s awesome fam! How old are you? I think that plays a part in the body’s ability to heal

Hi Kim. If stress is the trigger for you, working on your vagal tone is the way to go. Good luck, mama xoxo

@@ToniAnnBarandon are u healed?

A little different than I was hoping for, but I think overall the results show a great teachable lesson for myself and others. Hope you're doing well!

Haha working on it. Thanks for the kind words.

Wow that is great news! Four years is a big deal. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing 👊🏻

Are u off the meds?

@@recepie-house yes, I took them only for 2 months at the beginning and it was not helping.

Now you off the medicines and eat whatever you like or you follow kenny's principles?

@@recepie-house I was never completely following him, he gave me courage, he replied to my emails, I realized it’s all curable, so I started my research again. That was the moment when I found followers of dr Robert Mors on RU-vid. I learned what’s Lymphatic System, how it cleans our cells, how effective fasting is, saunas, skin brushing, enemas etc. For last few years I was eating fruits for breakfast and lunch and whatever there is for dinner.

So excited to hear he's seen some improvement. Wishing you both continued success! God bless y'all as well.

Thanks for the kind words and for leaving a comment, really appreciate it. Good luck improving the gut microbiome and hope you see a ton of success as well 👊🏻

Boom! That's great news, so happy for you. Thank you for sharing and wishing you continued success. 👊🏻

Are u off meds?

@@recepie-house still on uceris foam once a day. 🤞🤞🤞. Following doctors orders on that. But I do believe the principles are helping me avoid oral meds/steroids. Hoping it stays that way.

Thank you very much, good to hear from you again. Hope you're doing well!

@Umm Yaquub are you healed?

Glad that you've seen improvement! Wishing you continued success.

@@team_honnas Thank you Kenny. Take care!

@@maxinekennedy8357 are you healed?

@@recepie-house hi! I am in remission, and while I do not have any UC symptoms at all, I still have dysbiosis and I am currently working on this with diet and antimicrobials. Please note I am taking Humira, but I have gone back and forth with various diets and it always makes a huge noticeable quick impact on my symptoms. I’m still very much working on the puzzle! Good luck

@@maxinekennedy8357 are u trying raw milk/kefir?

You're very welcome, thanks for leaving the comment!

Really sorry to hear that, but glad you're not giving up 👊🏻 Hopefully your doctor has got you on a good plan and the meds will help lower symptoms so nutrition has a chance to start making improvements. Highly encourage working closely with your doctor!

You're very welcome! I love doing it and am glad people find it helpful.

You're very welcome! Wishing you all the best.

Happy to be back! Glad it was helpful, and thanks for the leaving a comment.

Thank you! Slightly different than I was hoping for, but I think overall the results show a great teachable lesson for myself and others. Hope you're doing well!

Thank you for sharing! Good luck and I hope that you see a ton of success.

Thanks for leaving a comment! Wishing you the best.

Oh that is so awesome. Glad you shared that, thank you! Wishing you all the best.

@@team_honnas Keep up the great work man. I’m always excited for the next video.

Steak eggs and wine are most associated of all foods with relapse... they are super high in sulphur and mess up your microbiome

@@Captain0Newman wine absolutely! Way Too much sugar. Plus none of us drink on this diet.

A little different than I was hoping for, but I think overall the results show a great teachable lesson for myself and others. Hope you're doing well!

You're very welcome, happy to do it. Wishing you the best. 👊🏻

That's the idea! As for generalizability, I'm still thinking about that. I think the core principles are pretty solid for just about everyone. But, I recently had my gut microbiome tested and something that these gut microbiome testing companies do is recommend specific foods that will be beneficial to your specific gut microbiome. So the exact foods that were helpful for me might not be as helpful for someone else. Of course we all kind of knew that which is why we hear and throw out "everyone is different" so often when discussing this topic haha. But what's cool about the testing, is that now each person can follow the general principles and use the specific foods that will be the most beneficial for their gut microbiomes according to their test results. I think that is the future. Optimize the gut microbiome with clean water, prebiotics, probiotics, and exercise. But instead of just following the same cookie cutter blueprint diet and foods that someone like myself ate, people can test for the foods that will be best for their microbiomes and use those.

Happy to do it! And yes, I definitely consume gluten during the 20%

I'm sorry to hear that, what a bummer. I hope your situation becomes less stressful and your body starts responding better to improved nutrition.

@@team_honnas I will find my way! Thank you Kenny :)

I’m the same, I was diagnosed in 2019 and really struggled without coffee. I drank black tea which helped a little bit. After a while I started having matcha lattes with an almond/coconut milk, but recently it has started irritating my stomach. Sometimes I allow myself to have a single espresso, but never on an empty stomach. I drink the grounded linen seeds with hot water first thing in the morning as it coats my bowels and then I eat eggs and after that I have an espresso. I believe that the trick is to never eat or drink the irritating foods and liquids on an empty stomach. Somebody also recommended a chicory coffee (such as Nescafe), but it does nothing to me.

You're very welcome! I totally get it, consistency is the hardest part, but ironically I think it's one of the most, if not the most, important parts. Wishing you all the best.

Risky business indeed. A little different than I was hoping for, but I think overall the results show a great teachable lesson for myself and others. Hope you're doing well!

@@team_honnas Thanks! I’m happy to see you were able to live a life carefree from diet. It’s nice to see that it could also be possible for me! Making and prepping meals before a day of activities can be a hassle sometimes.

thank you for your videos btw. i couldnt put into words how much they help.

Glad you were able to knock the flare out quick. And, you're very welcome. I love making the videos, so I'm glad they're helpful!

Thank you! Big fan of raw honey. Hope you're doing well 👊🏻

I appreciate that, thank you. Will do! 👊🏻

Thank you very much! I appreciate you leaving a comment and the kind words. Hope you're doing well.

You bet, thanks for leaving a comment. 👊🏻

What symptoms do you have with SIBO?

@@raziel325 when i consume prebiotic and probiotics I suffer constipation

@@raziel325 Also a lot of flatulence + bad throat rest + sometimes burping

I also recently learned about SIBO and I will ask my doctor for a test to know if I have it

@@user-fh4rr3is9d my opinion based on my experience: you need better protein digestion, remember that your gut like every organs, works like a muscle. With SIBO for sure you have low stomach acid and poor pancreatic&gallbladder function. Try absolutely digestive enzymes and if you tolerate try betaine hcl. Tell me which foods you tolerate, i will give you some advices.

Thank you very much 👊🏻 I think it shows support for dietary and fitness modifications as well and hoped it would be encouraging for others to see what is possible. Congratulations on working towards that PhD and getting stuff published! What's the name of the paper? It sounds like an interesting read. Also, I haven't even heard of pharmacomicrobiomics before, but the name alone has peaked my interest quite a bit. Thanks for dropping that info, that does sound very interesting and is something I am looking forward to learning more about. Glad you're doing what you're doing. Praying for your full recovery and continued success.

remember heal the mind and the body follows

Tough question. I haven't taken a deep dive into GNM so I don't know the ins and outs of it. From the limited information I know, all I can say is that I do think mentality and belief are very important. However, we're also biological beings that perform better based on how/what we eat and exercise. From a very common sense perspective, my question is why not have a top notch eubiotic diet (following the 80-20 rule) and a top notch mentality? I don't see why either should be mutually exclusive. So that's where I'm at currently 👊🏻

@@team_honnas well said man, definitely agree. No reason to believe in one side (diet or mental) and not the other.

I'd recommend watching these two videos. 1. This video explains the full timeline/path that I took that eventually got me into clinical remission: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rvGH2hdhPA0.html 2. This is boot camp episode 10 (yes it's very long, but very detailed) and explains the principles I followed that allowed my health to improve: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DR-g54EFJa0.html If you want something a little more streamlined, you could check out my online course Biome Optima™: biome-optima.thinkific.com/courses/biome-optima. Biome Optima™ explains my understanding of the inflammatory cascade that leads to IBD based on current available research. It also explains the nutritional tactics that I formulated based on this understanding and independent study to achieve and maintain complete remission. This course condenses all of the information from my RU-vid channel, plus new information, into one succinct and sequential step-by-step educational process. The course is broken down into 5 modules covering mentality, what I believe causes IBD, 7 key gut microbiome optimizing strategies, approved foods and drinks, and ends with a downloadable 5 week sample daily routine and meal plan. ​ I am not a doctor or a dietician, and the information in this course is intended only for educational purposes and should NOT be acted upon without the approval and supervision of a licensed physician. Seriously, acting upon this information could result in catastrophic or fatal consequences without the supervision of a doctor who knows you, who understands your current level of health, and is aware of the many other health and medical factors that are unique to you. Just to be clear, Biome Optima™ is not a necessity in my opinion. It's concise and easy to follow with a lot of convenient things such as the sample menu and sample pre-planned meals, but the crux of nearly all of this information can be found in my boot camp series or in other videos on the channel. I do charge for Biome Optima, so if you'd rather not pay for the course then I would check out this blog post: www.teamhonnas.com/post/you-don-t-need-a-coach-how-to-improve-your-gut-health-on-your-own-for-free. This post lists my top 4 videos in a sequential order that I think are the most important in regards to helping people improve their gut health on their own for free. While I think Biome Optima is awesome and I would love for people to purchase the course, I really want people to be able to do this on their own for free which is the point of my Boot Camp series that is available on my channel: ru-vid.com/group/PLFg7hdmOnjfXH8GD-6TlfQTbIZRux7ldL. Hope that helps!

I recommend you consult with your doctor about all medications. I would also ask your doctor if they're okay with you modifying your diet to one that is similar to the one I followed while taking the medications they want you on simultaneously. If your doctor approves, which I think is very likely, then you can combine medication with a eubiotic diet to improve the composition of your gut microbiome. Then you can continue working with your doctor and discuss discontinuing your medication when/if your doctor thinks it's appropriate. Hope that helps!

Thanks for keeping up with the channel, I very much appreciate it! I haven't done a calprotectin in some time, but yes that is also a very good test to determine inflammation levels. Might get that done next time I have any tests done. Wishing you the best as well.

@@team_honnas thank you for your Reply and for keeping us informed how you are doing. Looking forward to more news of you. Stay Healthy 🙏

Sorry to hear about your son :( I’m not a doctor so please don’t take this as medical advice, but in my personal opinion if he seems to tolerate tofu okay without it exacerbating symptoms then I don’t see a reason that he shouldn’t have it. I don’t have a grocery list video but that is a great idea and I will work on one in the future! I do have a few other resources at teamhonnas.com. There are example meal plans, an online course with a 5 week sample daily routine and meal plan. And we offer different consultation packages.

@@recepie-house yep!

Here is a comprehensive summary of the timeline/path that eventually got me into clinical remission: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rvGH2hdhPA0.html. It should include the medications I was on and how I discontinued them. Now just to be clear, I recommend that you and your son work with your son's doctor and use the principles in the boot camp series as an addition to the treatment he receives from his doctor, as long as they approve of him doing so. Doctors saved my life when I was in the hospital, and then medicine kept the symptoms and pain as low as possible while I experimented with nutrition. Doctors and modern medicine can be life saving measures that buy an individual time to see if changing their diet will help improve their health. Losing 45 pounds is a huge amount in two months. I would talk to his doctor ASAP and see about the medications that will reduce the inflammation/symptoms so that he can simultaneously work on following a eubiotic diet if his doctor is okay with him doing so. I don't see why they wouldn't be, but it's always good to double check in case they catch something that we don't know about or don't think of. From my understanding and what I've read on pubmed, there are many different clinical trials where IBD patients saw significant improvement with probiotic therapy while also taking their standard medications as well. Hope that helps. If you want to discuss anything further, send me an email to teamhonnas@gmail.com.

Thanks for sharing!

Are you healed

They have some of the same strains, but each batch is a little different. I consumed both and saw dramatic results/improvement.

I have not tried iodine, but will definitely look into it! Glad you're improving.

I never took biologics because my family was afraid of the potential side effects, but I was on all of the standard IBD medications at the time such as prednisone and lialda, and other anti-inflammatories.

I used to get hemorrhoids ever so often, but no fistulas. They eventually went away and as my health began to improve they didn't come back. I also try really hard to avoid straining during bowel movements. Hope that helps!

Yep, no symptoms. 👊🏻

Because after you heal your gut if you dont do something damaging you, you get back to normal diet.

Because you wouldn’t wanna stay on a bland boring diet your whole life right?

@@Stroup50 actually you are gonns love it

Did something happen that made him come back with this ?

Correct, I did not follow my gut microbiome optimizing principles for a year. It wasn't done purposely. Just had a natural decline in discipline while the majority of my focus went into dealing with other life stressors that required my attention. Since I felt good throughout this time I didn't see any reason that I needed to be as extremely disciplined as I had in the past, and I kind of swung like a pendulum towards the opposite extreme of being very un-disciplined since I was feeling so good. Again, my diet was still generally healthy, it just didn't follow my GM optimizing principles. So I'm glad to know that even if I feel great clinically, with no symptoms, I still need to make it a priority to follow the GM optimizing principles to maintain endoscopic and histologic remission. Hope that helps!

Eat yogurt and don't eat heavy meals .....and don't eat hot potency foods

Coconut milk

The sinusitis from kefir is probably due to a herxeimer effect or dying out effect of the pathogens and is actually a good sign. So instead of stopping, reduce the amount of kefir he takes. Start with a small amount maybe a tablespoon a day and then as his body adjusts and clears out the pathogens and no sinus or other detox symptoms, slowly increase the quantity until he reaches half to one cup a day and then maintain around that level.

Yes, it may be due to the Herxheimer reaction. If it turns out he has a sensitivity to dairy, I like coconut milk yogurt/kefir as a good alternative.
