Giving you a thumbs up 3days out from the release cause i know you're a saint Kenny and any material you put out is for the benefit/ greater good of the I.B.D community.
I had a huge flare up the weeks before and during Christmas which was compounded by getting food poisoning for the first time in my life. I managed to achieve drug free remission on new years for a few weeks, I relapsed when I gorged myself at a buffet (6 plates of food of various different cultures) which ruined my gut for well over a week. The final secret to achieve remission for me was a long fast (a 5 day water fast) to allow my gut the opportunity to heal as any digestion is effectively picking a scab if the inflammation is bad enough. Another important element was consuming raw cabbage leaf, for whatever reason this stabilized my digestion and prevents diarrhoea unlike any other food item I've come across.
I love watching Hot One’s and what a way to test out how strong your gut health is by going through Da Bomb lol it’s so awesome knowing you have a lot of guidance and knowledge with this disease. I wouldn’t of known the amount of info on this if I haven’t come across your videos! Currently trying to reach remission and going through a flare. But I’ll never give up because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take!
Love that attitude and this comment haha. Really appreciate the kind words and hope you get out of the flare soon and into long term remission. Kara and I are rooting for you! 👊🏻
Hey Kenny. I had to thank you. I started watching your videos. Learned a lot from you. Then it turned out I have candida. Feeling better now, knock on wood. Doing candida diet now. But it all started with you. Thanks again
@@Knighttus someone i knew has no sign of inflammation anymore in their body so yes you can be fully healed if you believe and do the right thing to do.
@@nabila4395 having no sign of inflamation just means the disease is sleeping, and also what disease was she affected by? And also if kenny really cured his UC he would have been all over the tv news.
@@Knighttus my friend had colonoscopy and there was no sign of inflammation. he had UC and now he can live in remission with no symptomps at all. also you could be a nice person towards ppl with chronic illness and encourage them that they can be haelthy instead of being a jerk.
I don't have an IBD and my rear is burning just watching this! Seriously though, thank you for all the stories and information you put out. My son's UC is stable right now and I'm so grateful. We've made numerous dietary changes and will be seeing a FMD in the near future for further advice on getting his gut healthy. Seeing my 6YO getting a blood transfusion and looking like he was in a concentration camp because he was so thin broke my heart. I'd do anything to help him heal.
I'm glad to hear your son is doing better at the moment! He sounds like a very tough kid. Thank you for watching and commenting. Wishing you and your family the best, we will be praying for your son's continued recovery.
I just wanted to ask u. If ur able to eat hot sauce and pasta and burgers, cheese, then does that mean that you don’t have any more symptoms ever? I’m confused I’m sorry. Do you think that this cure is achieved by diet alone. You say that your not really take any supplements. How long did it take you to be cured? Thanks so much and i am eagerly awaiting your response. Thanks
Hi kenny! In 2019 my son was diagnosed with uc but new colonoscopy showed he has juvenile polyp syndrome. Which means he has polyps all over the large intestine with inflammation n ulcers.do u have any idea what is this? Is your protocol also helpful in this situation.thnku dear
That mental health is serious in dealing with everything right but for us with UC and striving to heal it can be tough as I am going through it real heavy And gradually adding to your diet can be a challenge So my problem is knowing when to try other foods and how often you can eat it because what can happen and has happened to me is starting over so to speak So foods that I build up to I can longer eat because I over did It and have to work back up and this means eating smoothies all day and night then from there get clear again to eat cooked vegetables with seasoning and then rice, lentils, tofu, whole foods like fruit and vegetables, and salads This is as far as I've gotten but I keep getting back up for more that's the mental side
Good question. I'm not sure I have the right answer for it. I do believe the mechanism of onset is caused by a dysbiotic gut microbiome that can happen as a result of some sort of combination of diet, antibiotic usage and genetics (plus other things that can cause dysbiosis but these seem to likely be the main three ways). So what makes sense to me and what worked in practice for me anecdotally was working to improve the composition of my gut microbiome with nutrition and exercise. There do seem to be individuals who don't respond to a gut microbiome optimizing diet as well as I would hope, and I don't know if that is because of individual variation in each persons' specific nutritional needs for the gut microbiome- as in certain people may benefit from different prebiotic and probiotic foods than the certain prebiotic and probiotic foods that worked for me. That's where gut microbiome testing can be useful, eliminating some of the guesswork. There may also be people who have a far more compromised gut microbiome, people who might have parasites that haven't been detected before, perhaps biofilm build ups from mycobacterium that make it extremely difficult to optimize the gut microbiome with diet alone due to the protective nature that biofilms provide the mycobacterium- these need specific types of treatment from what I understand that go beyond just nutrition. There are a number of variables, and that's why I think eubiotic nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle, albeit a major puzzle piece, in optimizing the gut microbiome. There are a lot of cool adjuvant therapies that can help assist proper nutrition in optimizing the gut microbiome. But again, it's a puzzle and some are a lot harder to solve than others. I know that doesn't answer the question, but I hope it helps to begin answering it!
Hey Kenny do you have any tips for someone who has had two rounds of antibiotics for hypylori and gastritis still having burning sensation in the stomach and duodenum after meals ?
GNM is complicated. I can see how it could be helpful from a mental standpoint. I do think it's important to be able to control one's emotions and thoughts, but I also believe we are also biological beings that need to consume a proper eubiotic diet as well. I at one point was prescribed hcg to increase my testosterone way back in 2015 and 2016, but I eventually stopped taking it and decided to pursue a more natural approach. I found a guy named Christopher Walker who published lots of videos and few books about increasing testosterone naturally by prioritizing micronutrient supplementation, intermittent fasting, proper exercise, sleep, etc. I haven't taken any kind of hormone therapy since the hcg and my hormones seem to be pretty well balanced at the moment, though my testosterone may still be a little on the low end of the normal reference range. Haven't checked in a few years.
What's your opinion on the carnivore diet? Shawn Baker has promoted that diet as a treatment for ulcerative colitis. These carnivore diet gurus think carbs are the problem but you seem to have treated your ulcerative colitis while still being able to eat a lot of carbs. That's remarkable.
@@team_honnas haha yea I just looked it up and someone did a comparison of the two and said da bomb beyond insanity is way hotter. But evolution is more natural ingredients so you probably made the right choice 👌🏻
@@team_honnas still you guys crushed it and are an inspiration to all those suffering with uc that one day we too can hit the hot sauce like we used to 💪🏻
Thank you, glad you liked it! I have not heard about Kangen water before, just googled it for the first time now. I'll keep looking into it and try to get back to you!
I am diagnosed with uc in 2020 ...i m on mesacol and steriods for one year from last 3 months i am totally medication free and symptom free...i need your guidence brother for my further journey .....currently i m on intermediate fsting eating two meals a day ....first one a morning smothe of home made curd and bananas and in the dinner i eat rice and simple curry is that okey to eat or benefical for me and i am going to gym 5 days a week and gaining weight slowly pls guide me brother.......
I'm not a doctor, so please do not take this as medical advice. I found kefir to be very helpful for me and I think there is a lot of evidence that shows it has the potential to be very helpful for patients with IBD and other gut issues. Here's a video that I made about kefir that presents how I make it and some of the evidence I've come across: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FU6L8_1fWxM.html
Ahhhh I’m sorry :( spicy food used to really bother me too, but it doesn’t anymore. Edit: At least it doesn’t bother me digestively! Still have normal BMs, etc. The level of heat from these specific sauces was extremely hot biting into the last few wings and made me sweat and cry lol.
I did not like this video. I feel like you are deliberately putting things in your body to irritate your gut which you have worked so hard to heal. What are you trying to prove? Why would you do this?
Hi Julie, thank you for the comment. I see your point, though my intention was to present a different message. There were a few reasons why I wanted to do this video. First, I love the show Hot Ones and one of my favorite meals/foods is spicy buffalo wings. When I was sick I couldn't eat spicy wings because it would wreck me and I would suffer really bad if I did. So I missed being able to eat wings very, very badly. When I first decided I wanted to try and get healthy, I wanted to get healthy so that I could not only stop bleeding, and have healthy bowel movements again, but also so that I could regain the freedom to eat out with my friends and family- the freedom that I had lost. Healing to me meant being able to consume a full range of foods without bleeding, mucus, urgency or diarrhea. To have well-formed, solid bowel movements and to be on no medication. Dietary freedom is incredibly important to me, the freedom to eat out with my friends and family without worrying about soiling myself. To just be normal. If I couldn’t venture outside of the “healthy foods” I ate on my protocol, then I wouldn’t have achieved the level of health I was looking for. I’ve shown my colonoscopy results, but I wanted to do something different with this video. I wanted to show people what is possible. I want people to know that it is possible to get healthy, and not just maintain good health by following a really strict diet. But that it’s possible to maintain good health while being able to enjoy every food there is, even food that isn’t necessary healthy. I want people to know that it is possible to even eat insanely spicy hot wings like we did in the Hot Twos video and still have healthy BMs and not spiral into a flare. And, that it’s possible to be able to enjoy a fun evening with your family and not worry/obsess about whether or not what you’re eating is on your approved dietary protocol. With this video we wanted to show people what is possible while also giving people a chance to get to know Kara and I in a way that we haven’t done before. I wanted to show people that not only do I have the freedom to eat my favorite foods again, but I can now eat even spicier wings than I’ve ever done before. Now just to be clear, I recommend an 80-20 approach where 80% of the time I eat healthy, structured, gut microbiome optimizing meals. And then the other 20% of the time I have the freedom to eat whatever I want with my friends and family. I’m not an advocate of eating junk all the time, that’s not at all what I’m about. But, I do want to show people that it can be possible to enjoy their favorite foods and not be confined to strict, rigid dietary rules with zero flexibility or freedom. So in summary, this is the answer to your two questions (what am I trying to prove and why would I do this). I did this because I wanted to prove what is possible. I wanted to give people hope by showing the level of freedom that can be potentially achieved. My intention was not to offend anyone. And while I did work very hard to get healthy, I also wanted to show that the level of health I am currently living at is not fragile. The level of health I am living at is not one meal away from spiraling out of control. And I think it’s possible for other individuals to get to this level of health as well. Anyway, sorry for the long response. I hope this makes a little more sense as to the reasoning of why we made this video, though I understand you may still disagree with us having done it. I understand that and respect your opinion. I hope you are doing well and we are wishing you the best!
