hi guys welcome back to my channel in this video I'm going to talk a little bit about the food that I'm eating the diet that I'm attempting to kind of help relieve some of those symptoms related to my Crohn's just like I said in previous videos major thing with inflammatory bowel diseases is to watch what you eat there are a lot of people that I've heard that after years of different types of treatment are controlling their crohn's or colitis specifically with diet and have no medical treatment at all I mean I know that's a very rare situation but if there's anything that you can do to help yourself or anything I can do to help myself i know i'm all about it so i wanted to talk a little bit about my diet plans so i don't know about you but in my family with my friends my personal life my work family um anything that we do revolves around food so it's definitely something that was scary for me to kind of start to think about eating better or cutting back on having the opportunity to go out and do some things with other people are they going to have something I can have I know that when I was first diagnosed like I said I know it's just been a couple months ago but when I first found out about all these things i was super resentful really frustrated and thought why me like i said i know i mentioned in a previous video that I was really feeling down on myself and I've kind of come to terms with it now but at the same time I felt like I don't want to miss out on anything that anyone else is having or you know i love that food or um you know I love Mexican food I don't want to have to miss out on you know eating something spicy or eating fried food or eating whatever because everybody else gets to have it but at the end of the day um we can all stand to eat better I know I certainly can so I think this is just a time when I need to listen to my body and do what it's telling me to do so I actually heard from another end of mount a diet that she had been trying that her doctor recommended and it's actually something that I'm super excited to share some recipes and some idea some things that I'm doing because I'm kind of following her guidance so the diet that she mentioned is something called paleo which I'm sure a lot of people have heard of some people also call it the caveman diet of her people call it the simp or specific carbohydrate dying the most basic basic food basically what the cavemen would have had a way back when what they would have had to eat so it's pretty much any meat that you can imagine obviously you want to get as organic and clean as you can pretty much any fruit and vegetable major things for me that it was cutting out was bread no bread so that's been hard so basically having sandwiches with no bread but basically lettuce instead has been interesting so I'm going to talk a little bit about that but it's been bread and milk products so I know a lot of individuals who have Crohn's Urkel itís also have a difficulty with irritable bowel syndrome so something totally unrelated it's not something that I have experience with but I have heard some people complain about those same issues but I've heard that either way lactose can be difficult to digest so another major piece of this diet is to cut out cheese milk I know big thing for me is cottage cheese so I'm cutting out those kinds of things and finding other sources of calcium so I've started taking a vitamin which I know I should have been taking you know years ago but I started taking a vitamin started really kind of watching what I'm eating so I'm going to talk in some future videos I've got a hall coming of everything that i purchased just a few days ago and some recipes that I've done so right now I'm on about day three or so of following i would say probably ninety five percent with this plan there's been a couple times that I've snuck a soft drink but for the most part I've been drinking water and really following one hundred percent of the food that I've been eating has been on this caveman diet for the last three days four days or so so I'm going to do some updates on that too I'm definitely feeling better I can feel that I have more energy I don't feel as sluggish so i'll be talking a little bit more about those updates you know as we get closer I feel like how much can you really tell in only three days but yeah so that's where I am right now so stay tuned for more videos .
