Below we’ll discuss an amazing case study about diet and Chron’s disease.
If you suffer from this problem, this one post could change your life. It did for one person described below.
Crohn’s disease is a very serious health problem.
It is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that often causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue. These symptoms can dramatically effect a person’s quality of life.
Treatment generally involves various medications such as steroids and immuno-suppressants. These medications can have very serious side effects.
If the medicines aren’t effective, people may have surgery to cut out parts of their intestines which can result in many problems.
What if there was a safe way to improve the symptoms and problems associated with this serious disease that didn’t involve medications and surgery?
Here is an interesting single case study which demonstrated some amazing improvement of Chron’s disease with a paleo ketogenic diet. See image and reference below.
Of course, you can’t say that this is the cure for Chron’s disease… BUT for this one person it appears to have been amazingly successful.
The other important aspect is that this approach would seem to be exceptionally safe for most people.
It may be worthwhile investigating if you suffer from an inflammatory bowel disease like Chron’s.
Others have seen incredible improvements in various autoimmune conditions by following similar dietary approaches.
Here’s one example with a video of an MD talking about how she reversed her MS autoimmunity with a similar type of diet.
About The Paleo Ketogenic Diet and Chron’s Disease Case Study
Severe Chron’s patient becomes symptom free, gets off all medications in 2 weeks, and has normalized labs with a strict dietary change.
Many people report remarkable improvements in serious autoimmune conditions with lifestyle changes. This is one example where the doctors documented the improvements.
From article…
“We report a severe case of Crohn’s disease where we successfully applied the paleolithic ketogenic diet.
Dietary therapy resulted in resolution of symptoms, normalized laboratory parameters as well as gradual normalization of bowel inflammation as evidenced by imaging data and normalization of intestinal permeability as shown by the polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) challenge test.
The patient was able to discontinue medication within two weeks.
Currently, he is on the diet for 15 months and is free of symptoms as well as side effects.”
Undoubtedly, very impressive results in this case.
It begs the question, how many more people who are suffering every day who might be helped with a similar approach?
We don’t know the answer in any definitive way. It would seem that this might work for others though based on the phenomenal improvement in this one case.
