Kenny's Daily Supplements for Gut Health, Demystifying IBD, Bali Belly & Answering Comments | GHH #7 

Hi, I had made an appointment and I was paying with my card and it kicked me out saying I’m not the owner of the site. Please can you please reply.

could you tell in detail what you did exactly? it would save a life

​@@mann8283 I took information from Kenny's videos and changed my diet, started exercising, things may have worked for me that may not work for other people but I'll tell you what my routine is now in case it may help you and others. Bearing in mind I was at a point to where I was so inflamed that corticosteroids were not working for me, unless I was on a large dosage administered from hospital. I believe I started this after getting released from hospital and tapering down from 40mg prednisone per day which is the standard after leaving hospital. I would always be at a baseline level of inflammation even after being released from hospital. After many months of trying different methods and diets, using mostly information from Kenny, this is what I found worked for me: I will start off by saying I make sure I drink plenty of water every day, and at least 2-3 green teas throughout the day, with fresh ginger, honey, and ground tumeric. You don't need the honey it's just for sweetness. As for the water, bottled water may be better than tap water depending on where you live. I tried a month of each and I believe a good quality bottled water is better for me personally. I tried purifying my water initially with a reverse osmosis system similar to Kennys, but I found it to be more irritant than tap or bottled water. I don't know what will work best for you. I will also say I believe the important personal factor for me to get into remission was taking vitamin D supplements and multivitamins. Mainly vitamin D for me though, I live in the U.K where we get hardly any natural vitamin D from the sun, and studies have shown links between vitamin D deficiency and IBD. I take 50,000 IU weekly tablets every single week which I buy from amazon. Please check if you are deficient first though, you can have too much vitamin D. Waking up every morning, taking a probiotic supplement is the first thing I do. I'm based in the UK and I found a brilliant water based probiotic supplement called Symprove, they have a website with the same name. I found that typical probiotic supplements in capsule form contain gut microbiome destroying ingredients, such as Maltodextrin. I try to completely avoid anything with such ingredients. 2 hours after that, I eat a smoothie containing 200grams frozen blueberries, 3 bananas, 1 avocado, some water, 1x tbspoon Cacao powder, 1x probiotic supplement taken out of it's capsule (Visbiome de simone formulation). That probiotic is particularly expensive, I'm sure other types would work just fine. You can change the amount of ingredients to less or more but I would start off small if you are still inflamed, or completely skip the smoothie altogether and just take the supplements with a prebiotic like a couple of bananas or something similar. I found that when I was inflamed drinking a massive smoothie with all the fibre was quite irritating, so some mornings I skipped it altogether. If you decide to skip the morning meal, try drinking green tea with fresh ginger, honey, and tumeric, while still taking the probiotic supplement. After eating the smoothie and letting it briefly digest for roughly an hour, I go to the gym and do light-medium exercise focusing on cardio, initially my body was weak due to a sedentary lifestyle, and the inflammation I lived with for so many years. I started off using the exercise bike with moderate exercise, if you look it up I believe moderate is 50-70% of your max bpm which is dependant on your age, I'm 25 and it was around 130-bpm. From what I have read and my personal experience, intense exercise is not good for IBD and can lead to more inflammation. This is again a personal experience I that may be different for you, but I would recommend starting off light and make sure you are not doing intensive exercise. After 30 mins-1hour on exercise bike, I go swimming for 30 or so minutes. I fasted completely as recommended by Kenny, meaning I didn't eat anything until my next meal later in the day, this would be around 5pm after waking up at 8am. This meal would be the last thing I ate for the day, meaning I am only eating twice a day, with roughly a 7 hour break in-between the two meals. The second meal would only ever consist of either: white rice + wild caught salmon white potato + wild caught salmon white rice + chicken breast fillet white potato + chicken breast fillet Regardless of which dish it was it would always have a side of fermented vegetable usually sauerkraut but there are number of store bought options available now. It is important to incorporate ground turmeric in some way into your meals, whether it is used to make turmeric rice, or sprinkled on your chicken/salmon/fermented veg. Please note that the diet routine above is what I followed when I was in the initial stages of repairing the gut microbiome, meaning I didn't incorporate high fibre foods (which are essential for gut health) into the second meal of the day as my gut was still inflamed, this is because eating too much fibre while you are inflamed can make it hard for the digestive system, and we want to give it as much of a break as we can, while still optimizing the gut flora as much as possible. I recommend adding all sorts of high fibre foods into the diet when you are in full remission (no ulceration or inflammation of the digestive tract) That's the core of it and I'll write some things were important for me: Getting enough uninterrupted sleep Sticking strictly to the diet plan, even if I'm out and everyone's eating it doesn't matter, I can NOT eat the majority foods bought from outside, especially foods cooked in vegetable oils (gut microbiome destroyers, and inflammatory) Or any Ultra-processed foods whatsoever. Ultra-Processed foods are anything that don't have strictly natural ingredients that haven't undergone any processing. No additives, preservers, sweeteners, nothing. Even extra virgin olive oil I have to use sparingly, because for me personally although it has many benefits, too much oil always irritates my gut. While fermented milk (kefir) works great for Kenny, it doesn't for me. I haven't had any testing but I believe I am lactose intolerant because anytime I drink milk I can feel it almost immediately irritating my gut. Having a positive mindset is so important, I believe it helps the healing process. Telling myself that every day I was repairing my body and getting one step closer to a healthy gut helped me greatly. If you can afford organic ingredients then always go organic, I can't consistently afford organic chicken and other ingredients, but I always make sure to get wild caught salmon, as the mass farmed salmon noticeably irritates my stomach, it's full of chemicals. I do recommend making notes of what you feel like over time, after each meal for example. It's a case of trial and error for many people and what worked for me might not work the exact same way for you, maybe your body might not tolerate a certain ingredient or food, try to make notes. If there is any general guidance I would give it would be to view the healing process like this: Step one is to reduce inflammation as much as possible with anti inflammatory foods and exercise. In my case I had still had a baseline level of inflammation after being released from hospital, so as I was tapering down from steroids, I kept it as simple as possible with the foods I ate, not high in fibre (sometimes skipping morning smoothie, and keeping the second meal basic, low in fibre and few ingredients). Step two is the gut microbiome repairing and optimization, Kenny's channel has tons of information on this but to sum it up, the natural and healthy state of the human gut is to be flourishing with all kinds of bacteria (the good kind). Ultra processed foods and certain environmental factors have destroyed the mucosal lining of our gut, and we need to repair it. We achieve this by the following: eating foods that are high in prebiotic fibre, taking supplements, eating fermented foods, completely avoiding ultra processed foods. There is more to optimizing that microbiome that I highly recommend looking up online but to put it simply, anything that has a negative effect on it, it and anything that has a positive effect on it you should look for. Besides ultra processed foods being without a doubt the most harmful thing to our gut, I found links to a number of other factors, alcohol, smoking, stress and anxiety, sedentary lifestyle, everyday chemicals that enter our body through various ways. As discussed above things that have been shown to be beneficial aside from foods we are eating would be regular physical activity, exercise and meditation.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it and found it valuable! We had fun making it and hope that it helps people put another puzzle piece into place. Keep fighting!

what did you do exactly?

Is their a community for ibd patients any where like telegram or something. And yes this time I know it is stress and it put me back into remission. If you don't believe me and think I am fraud. Go check kennys old video I have comment thanking Kenny for putting me in remission 2 years back I guess.

@@berryblueberries171 it is not in English language.

Hi Shivam....I msg you 2 yrs back in the comments itself....we spoke...but eventually you told to join in telegram...but I dint find bro....pls share your mail id or number bro pls.....pls pls pls

What is your diet?

I eat animal based, without the dairy right now, so a day of eating for me would be something like 4 eggs cooked in ghee with a glass of organic orange juice for breakfast, 400g of grass fed ground beef, a bananna, some raw honey and some berries for lunch, then either a fatty steak or lamb for dinner with another small fruit and raw honey. Its also important to get outside in the sunlight, destress and move if you can. I hope this helps! @@rozalaroz4223

It will might put you in remission but. There will still be chance of relapse. Stress is the real culprit.

Thank you!!!

@@shivamss6004 Stress can definitely but a factor but I'm convinced it is completely linked to the gut microbiome.

@@dariushd9789 It is only stress. Stress alters gut microbiome. It causes inflammation. Chronic stress causes problems with cortisol balance. Thus causing chronic inflammation.

@@shivamss6004well I was never stressed, I was a teenager with no need to work or study and I got ulcerative colitis. How do you explain that? Everyone knew me as the person who doesn’t stress about anything

What brand do you use?

Thank you! Yes, we do have a very strong relationship and it helps tremendously in all types of life challenges. Plus we laugh together a ton haha

I guess you could just take the L. reuteri tablets from BioGaia (amzn.to/3PqMoNL), but the issue is that each tablet likely doesn't have a high enough CFU count to be as therapeutic as needed. The fermentation process that occurs while making the yogurt exponentially increases the CFU count of the L. reuteri, making it a much more potent dose. But if you really do just want to take the tablets, you can. Just might be add up to be pretty expensive and likely not as helpful as the yogurt. Hope that helps!

The best diet to heal the intestines is to eat meat, animal fats, and fermented foods

Can you tell us more about it?

I cured my UC watching Kenny and I am a vegetarian. You have to drink Kefir. It will reduce your disease by 70%. Next 30% is stress and vitamin and mineral deficiency.
