Wonderful collagen!

Yes, some celery in the broth… still getting everyone onboard with no-plants. The person who added the celery into the broth doesn’t even like celery, they were just following a guide. Baby steps.

    Fully in remission. Flair ups stopped with increasing fiber intake, avoiding grease, and red meats.

    In my experience the only thing that triggers a flair up is dropping my fiber regiment or consuming milk or soft cheeses. Well aged cheese and yogurt is fine.

    But that’s me and my body. My fiance can’t have fiber and has to greatly watch fat due to a different gastro issue called gastro paresis.

    We did actually do an elimination diet and they only ate chicken and steak for a week before we found slowly what carbs and veg we could add back in. We also found out that fatty steak wasn’t good either, but we had like a dozen frozen steaks when the diagnosis came in.

      That is great! I’m glad your happy and healthy.

      This makes sense, at least to my crazy brain -

      dropping fibre will reduce short chain fatty acid in the intestines (on keto/zero carb this isn’t as issue as the fermented SCAs are replaced with whole body ketones which are more abundant and go to the whole body).

      Dairy has casomorphins, which will have a impact on gut motility.

      The literature is light here as well, but testimonials are in abundance, and one imagines for the same reason IBD resolves - fat/protein fully resolve in the stomach resting the gut.

      Oh great! Then you already know everything you need to know about carnivore (though chicken might not be ideal).

      We also found out that fatty steak wasn’t good either, but we had like a dozen frozen steaks when the diagnosis came in.

      What was the issue with fatty steak? Was it only fatty steak for two weeks? From my understanding of typical gastroparesis protocols fat is reduced to increase gut motility, but on a zero-carb elimination diet there isn’t fiber and carbohydrates in the gut anyway.
