When can I take vitamin suplements? Vitamins pills can cause inflamation in my colon? should I take probiotics pills?

The AIP is an elimination/reintroduction diet, which essentiallly means that you eliminate everthing from your diet except the essentials, which end up being meats, frutis, and veggies (with the exception of nightshades).

Gandy, I also wanted to mention that if you can't digest pills, these are all natural so you can break them open into a drink/smoothie - they also have drink based mood, hydration and energy.  Simple packs to drop in your pocket when you need a lift xo

Gandy, I take something called Core, it's a rapid delivery system that is gluten free, dairy free, non gmo and vegan.  Packed with Vitamins - I have an ileostomy and was diagnosed with Crohns in 2005.  I know how it is to be afraid to eat - and not to get your supplements efficiently.  This is liposomal delivery, micro particles - easier digestion :)  best of luck i hope you feel better soon. xo

I tried everything under the sun as far as diet and nothing worked until I adopted a whole foods plant based diet (no animal products, no processed foods, no alcohol or coffee).  Not only my Crohn's disease symptoms disappeared within a few weeks but my psoriatic arthritis also went away. My blood pressure dropped from 130/90 to 110/65, total cholesterol from 235 to 175 etc.  There is increasing evidence that animal foods introduce harmful bacteria in the gut (competing with good bacteria from plants). I had to be on a gluten free diet most of my life but I now eat whole wheat in moderation without any problems.  I changed my diet after watching "Forks over Knives" and it was life changing. I was skeptical at first so I decided to run the experiment on myself and had a blood test after 8 weeks. The results were amazing all around and I will never go back!

Hey Gandy124!

Unfortunately, every case of IBD is different, so there isn't one specific diet that works for everyone, but there are a few you culd try to at least figure out what your trigger foods might be!

One is called SCD, or specific carb diet. It goes along with a book called "Breaking the Viscious Cycle" I don't knwo  much about it specifcally, but here's a link to the website if you wanted to do more research on it: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

The other diet that a lot of people with autoimmune dieases have found success with is called the AIP diet, or Autoimmune Paleo. If you're familiar with the regular paleo diet, it's similar, except that it also eliminates foods that trigger autoimmune symtpoms. The AIP is an elimination/reintroduction diet, which essentiallly means that you eliminate everthing from your diet except the essentials, which end up being meats, frutis, and veggies (with the exception of nightshades). After you've been on this basic diet for about a month and your body has been able to reset, you start reintroducing foods one at a time to figure out which foods your body can handle and which ones end up being triggers. Here's alink for more information: https://www.thepaleomom.com/start-here/the-autoimmune-protocol/

If you don't know what your triggers foods are, i think either diet is a really good way to figure out what your body can handle and what it can't. But like i said, it's going to be different for everyone. Some people can take away certain foods and never experience symptms again and others can try every diet in the book and it just ends up being that their symtpoms are not diet-based. But don't let this discourage you! i think the best thing to do is to discipline yourslef and try one of these diets so you can figure out for sure what your body needs from you to be well :)
