This interview is an excerpt from Kevin Gianni’s The Healthiest Year of Your Life, which can be found at http://thehealthiestyearofyourlife. com. In this excerpt, Jon Barron shares on herbs, supplementation and the scary truths about today’s foods and disease.The Healthiest Year of Your Life crohns disease causeswith Jon Barron, creator of Base Line Nutrition and author of Lessons from the Miracle Doctors. Kevin: Sure, you talked about disease and using herbs to help. When does someone know they need to have herbs? I mean, is it just for disease or can people use these things for cleansing? I mean, I think a lot of people get confused as to when they should cleanse or when they should take herbal supplements.Jon: Okay. Let’s actually give a quick look at the base line of health program. The base line of health is sort of a summary of what I learne crohns disease causesuse these things for cleansing? I mean, I think a lot of people get confused as to when they should cleanse or when they should take herbal supplements.Jon: Okay. Let’s actually give a quick look at the base line of health program. The base line of health is sort of a summary of what I learned from virtually all of the doctors. Doctors like Dr. Christopher and Dr. Shultz and guys like that who are doing programs that basically treat people as a whole entity and where it starts is you have to remove the toxins from the body. Basically we are being poisoned all the time now by choices we make and by things we have no control over. There are over a 100,000 new chemicals that are brand new, never existed before that have been introduced into the environment in the last hundred years a crohns disease causesof health is sort of a summary of what I learned from virtually all of the doctors.

There are over a 100,000 new chemicals that are brand new, never existed before that have been introduced into the environment in the last hundred years and they are out of control. You get them in your water, your drinking water. Here’s something a lot of people don’t know is that virtually all tap water that you drink contains traces of pharmaceutical drugs.Kevin: Yeah.Jon: All of the heart medication and cancer medications, so on, and people getting chemo when they urinate it goes out into the water. There is nothing in the treatment system that is designed now to remove those things. The amounts are small and authorities say that crohns disease causeshave to remove the toxins from the body.

Not because it’s most important, but it’ s sort of for two reasons. One, it’s the area that we tend to focus the most abuse of the foods we eat. I’ll give you one great example of that. When I was giving a talk, a pro bono talk in the Virgin Islands a few years back to high school kids, I was trying to talk about health and nutrition and I could see their eyes just rolling up into the back of their heads. They were bored out of their minds.

Okay, have any of you ever helped your parents put up wallpaper? About half of them had and I said, what did you make the wallpaper paste from? It’s made from white flour and water. Okay. So you’re crust is basically wallpaper paste. Let’s talk about the cheese. Have any of you ever used Elmer’s glue? Whose picture is on the front of Elmer’s glue? Elmer the bull.Kevin: Yeah.Jon: Why?

Because all of the forerunners to Elmer’s glue is now made from synthetics but in the early days, all of the glue similar to Elmer’s was basically made from casing, the stuff that makes cheese stringy. So when you eat pizza you are eating wallpaper paste and Elmer’s glue. What do you think the odds of that coming out cleanly are? That’s one of the reasons we have to do intestinal cleansing. Over the years we so abuse that intestinal tract. You’ve got to clean it out and all the other cleans depend on it. Because crohns disease causesJon: No, we know nothing.

Over the years we so abuse that intestinal tract. You’ve got to clean it out and all the other cleans depend on it. Because things like the liver cleans dump out to the bile duct and if you have any blockage in the intestinal tract, the toxins you flush from the liver can’t make it out through the bile duct. They back up into the blood stream and make you feel really ill. After you clean out, you need to do things like rebuild the beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria provide huge functions. Not only in terms of digestion, but they’re actually responsible for about 60% of your immune function. The crohns disease causeswith intestinal cleansing and detoxification.

Antibiotics and chlorine primarily. You drink tap water and you get chlorine in the water. What is the purpose in the chlorine? To kill bacteria. When you drink, it does kill the bacteria in your gut and makes your pores a vacuum and it tends to fill that space with bad guys. The other is antibiotics.

I’ve heard doctors say that you don’t need to supplement if you just eat a balanced diet but what diet are they talking about? Are they talking about the foods that are grown today or that were grown 50 years ago, because there is a huge difference? The green revolution certainly has produced more food but there is crohns disease causesliver can’t make it out through the bile duct. They back up into the blood stream and make you feel really ill. After you clean out, you need to do things like rebuild the beneficial bacteria. Beneficial bacteria provide huge functions. Not only in terms of digestion, but they’re actually responsible for about 60% of your immune function. The simple fact is most people have almost none left.Kevin: Wow.Jon: Why? Antibiotics and chlorine primarily. You drink tap water and you get chlorine in the water. What is the purpose in the chlorine? To kill bacteria. When you drink, it does kill the bacteria in your gut and makes your pores a vacuum and it tends to fill that space with bad guys. The other is antibiotics. If you are buying commercial dairy or meat, it’s packed with antibiotics. That’s designed to, by its name, kill bacteria. So most people are in a state of disbiosis where the beneficial bacteria is virtually gone and they have large amounts of ecoli and other things that at least all the conditions, such as Crohn’s Disease, IVS, ulcer and colitis, colon cancer. Colon cancer virtually unknown 60 or 70 years ago and today it’s the second leading cancer among men and women combined, after lung cancer. The next thing you need to do, you want to start supplementing with enzymes because most people eat – man is the only animal that eats cooked processed food at sustained temperatures of over 118 degrees to destroy enzymes. You have to make up that loss, because food is designed – all food that you eat, if it’s in a raw state, has enzymes necessary for some digestion in the food. You cook it, their gone. You have to make up the difference. What happens is you tend to bump high amounts of stomach acid to compensate and with high amounts your pancreas goes into overdrive to produce digestive enzymes. In the end you burn out your ability to produce hydrochloric acid. That’s of course, along the way, having produced so much that you burned your gut out and had acid reflux and you burn out your pancreas’ ability to produce enzymes. You basically lose the ability to digest food over time. That’s one reason people, as they get older and don’t get nutrition out of their food. You have to change your diet. You cannot keep eating the same stuff that people are eating and think you are going to be well. Most diseases today are self inflicted. One of the great ones is diabetes. Diabetes is a huge, huge epidemic right now. A couple of years ago the U.S. Government came out with a stat, a prediction that said that every child born in the United States today and that was from 2003 I think they did this – that any child born today – would have been 2003 – their odds of being diabetic are 50%. All right so one in three, 50% is either black or Hispanic.Jon: Type two diabetes used to be called adult onset. They got rid of the adult onset, because of diet – kids are getting it now. You’re finding kids – 16, 17, 18 – diabetic and pre-diabetic. All you have to do is understand a sugar soda is just under a teaspoon of sugar for every ounce. So, when you see those kids walking around – 10 year olds with those 32 oz big gulp sodas from the AMP and mini marts and Seven Eleven. There is just under a cup of sugar in that thing.

The green revolution certainly has produced more food but there is a simple logic of mathematics here. You can’t grow more food out of the same land without thinking you are going to trade something off. What we are doing, we are trading off quality for quantity. Foods today don’t have the same amount of vitamins and minerals they had 80 years ago.

Microscopic colitis refers to inflammation of the colon that is only visible when the colon’s lining is examined under a microscope. The appearance of the inner colon lining in microscopic colitis is normal by visual inspection during colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy.

The diagnosis of microscopic colitis is made when a doctor, while performing colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, takes biopsies (small samples of tissue) of the normal-appearing lining, and then examines the biopsies under a microscope. There are two types of microscopic colitis; lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis. In lymphocytic colitis, there is an accumulation of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) within the lining of the colon.

In collagenous colitis, there is an additional layer of collagen (scar tissue) just below the lining. Some experts believe that lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis represent different stages of the same disease. The inflammation and the collagen probably interfere with absorption of water from the colon, and cause the diarrhea. The primary symptom of microscopic colitis is chronic, watery diarrhea. Patients with microscopic colitis can have diarrhea for months or years before the diagnosis is made.

This chronic diarrhea of microscopic colitis is different from the acute diarrhea of infectious colitis, which typically lasts only days to weeks. Some patients with microscopic colitis also may report mild abdominal cramps and pain. Blood in the stool is unusual. The prevalence of microscopic colitis in the U.S. is not clearly known.

It is estimated that 10-20% of patients with chronic diarrhea may have microscopic colitis. It is this author’s experience, that the condition is becoming more common in recent years. It is not clear, however, whether there is an actual increase in the frequency of microscopic colitis or whether doctors are just better at diagnosing it.

Microscopic colitis most commonly occurs in middle aged to elderly patients and is more common among women than men. The cause(s) of microscopic colitis is unknown. Some doctors suspect that microscopic colitis is an autoimmune disorder similar to the autoimmune disorders that cause chronic ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease.

The diagnosis of microscopic colitis is made by performing biopsies from different regions of the colon during colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. The abnormalities of the colon’s lining in microscopic colitis occur in a patchy distribution (areas of normal lining may exist adjacent to areas of abnormal lining).

For this reason, multiple biopsies should be taken from several different regions of the colon in order to accurately make a diagnosis. The patchy nature of microscopic colitis also is the reason why flexible sigmoidoscopy often is inadequate in diagnosing the condition because the abnormalities of microscopic colitis may be absent from the sigmoid colon (the colonic segment that is closest to the rectum and is within the reach of a sigmoidoscope) in 30-40% of the patients with microscopic colitis.

Thus, biopsies of other regions of the colon accessible only with colonoscopy may be necessary for diagnosing microscopic colitis.

There are only two kinds of nutrients: building (protein and fat) and cleansing (water, minerals, sugar, etc.) Protein and fat build thicken and dry. Water, minerals, etc. moisten and loosen. The correct combination produces the correct elimination, stools. The incorrect produces constipation, loose stools, diarrhea, etc. Too much protein and fat (includes cholesterol) and or too little carbohydrates (grains, vegetables and fruits) tend to dry, thin and harden the stools. Too many carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables) tend to loosen the stools. Too little fiber tends to loosen the stools. Too many spices in addition to smoking, coffee and alcohol, in the extreme, also tend to dry the stools. The frequency and movement of stools are controlled largely by digestion and respiration Digestion transforms (reduces the size of food into its smallest component parts: nutrients and non-nutrients) and transports, moves food down via peristaltic wave-like contractions of muscles located the small intestine. The diaphragm is muscular partition that divides the chest from the abdomen. It moves up and down as the lungs expand and contract, massaging the intestines, increasing peristaltic action, movement of food from the small intestine to the large intestine. Exercise and deep breathing increase peristalsis. Protein and fat build and fuel all function. Long-term low protein and low fat diets, in the extreme, tend to weaken all function, including digestion and elimination. Weak digestion increases waste product as all foods, nutrients not digested, absorbed become waste (sent to the large intestine). It also tends to loosen the stools, as there is less protein and fat to harden, form. Water, sugar, minerals, fruits, vegetables, and grains reduce cleanse, cool and moisten. In excess, especially when eaten at the beginning of the meal, tend to dilute, weaken and slow digestion, elimination making the stools loose, watery and or infrequent, dry, constipated, painful. Diverticulitis (pockets) may also occur. The middle diet, meal plan (Hot and Cold Health, Chapter 2), adjusted accordingly is recommended. Always eat from hot (building) to cold (cleansing), with a little fruit at the end of the meal. Try black or white fungus, and or mushrooms, which are moistening, mucilaginous, slide easily through the body. Use oil, 1 TB of olive or sesame oil in cooking. Snack on fruit: apples, pineapple, etc. especially at night (as long as the stools are not loose, watery). Eat a light, early dinner. A heavy dinner or late night eating tends to cause constipation. Reduce pasta, bread, cookies, doughnuts, pretzels, coffee, alcohol and smoking which are all drying, constipating. Check with your doctor first before making any changes.

Case history: One of my customers (health food store) was suffering from IBS. Her daily, weekly symptoms were abdominal bloating, gas, loose stools, constipation, headaches and swelling (her arms and legs were swollen twice their size). I diagnosed her condition as a cold and damp spleen. She was eating low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate (salads and juices) diet. Her spleen, digestion became producing the aforementioned symptoms. I recommended the middle diet, meal plan, especially spices in addition to a reduction in cold foods, drinks. Week by week her condition got better, hotter, stronger. Nine months later, most of her symptoms had disappeared, including the swelling in her arms and legs. She was very happy. A year later, her symptoms came back. She was still worried about her health and had gone to see a nutritionist who had recommended golden seal, nine capsules a day.

It tends to attack women, twice as much as men and is. It is generally cause by poor diet. Many women tend to eat low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets. Protein and fat build and fuel. Long-term low protein and low fat, in the extreme, tend to weaken all structure and function, including digestion and elimination. Less food, nutrients is absorbed, transformed into blood, more becomes waste, as all food, nutrients not digested, absorbed, becomes waste sent to the large intestine for temporary storage and eventual elimination from the body.

Case history: One of my customers (health food store) was suffering from IBS. Her daily, weekly symptoms were abdominal bloating, gas, loose stools, constipation, headaches and swelling (her arms and legs were swollen twice their size). I diagnosed her condition as a cold and damp spleen. She was eating low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate (salads and juices) diet. Her spleen, digestion became producing the aforementioned symptoms. I recommended the middle diet, meal plan, especially spices in addition to a reduction in cold foods, drinks. Week by week her condition got better, hotter, stronger. Nine months later, most of her symptoms had disappeared, including the swelling in her arms and legs. She was very happy. A year later, her symptoms came back. She was still worried about her health and had gone to see a nutritionist who had recommended golden seal, nine capsules a day. Golden seal is a cold, bitter herb. I had originally diagnosed coldness (includes deficiency) as the cause of her condition, which she re-aggravated once she started taking more, concentrated cold in the form of golden seal. I refused to sell her the golden seal, she had ordered. I gave up a hefty profit .

The most common early symptoms of Crohns disease are chronic diarrhea (which sometimes is bloody), crampy abdominal pain, fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Symptoms may continue for days or weeks and may resolve without treatment.

Complete and permanent recovery after a single attack is extremely rare. Crohns disease almost always flares up at irregular intervals throughout a person’s life. Flare-ups can be mild or severe, brief or prolonged. Severe flare-ups can lead to intense pain, dehydration, and blood loss. Why the symptoms come and go and what triggers new flare-ups or determines their severity is not known. Recurrent inflammation tends to appear in the same area of the intestine, but it may spread to adjacent areas after a diseased segment has been removed surgically.

Common complications of inflammation include scarring that can produce intestinal blockage (obstruction) and deep ulcers penetrating through the bowel wall that can create pus-filled pockets of infection (abscesses) or abnormal connecting channels between the intestine and other organs (fistulas). Fistulas may connect two different parts of the intestine. Fistulas also may connect the intestine and bladder or the intestine and the skin surface, especially around the anus.

Although fistulas from the small intestine are common, wide-open holes (perforations) are rare. When the large intestine is affected extensively by Crohns disease, rectal bleeding commonly occurs. After many years, the risk of colon cancer (cancer of the large intestine) is greatly increased. About one third of people who develop Crohns disease have problems around the anus, especially fistulas and cracks (fissures) in the lining of the mucus membrane of the anus.

Crohns disease may lead to complications in other parts of the body. These complications include gallstones, inadequate absorption of nutrients, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and deposits of the protein amyloid in several organs (amyloidosis). When Crohns disease causes a flare-up of gastrointestinal symptoms, the person may also experience inflammation of the joints (arthritis), inflammation of the whites of the eyes (episcleritis), mouth sores (aphthous stomatitis), inflamed skin nodules on the arms and legs (erythema nodosum), and blue-red skin sores containing pus (pyoderma gangrenosum). Even when Crohns disease is not causing a flare-up of gastrointestinal symptoms, the person still may experience pyoderma gangrenosum, while inflammation of the spine (ankylosing spondylitis), inflammation of the pelvic joints (sacroiliitis), inflammation inside the eye (uveitis), or inflammation of the bile ducts (primary sclerosing cholangitis) are liable to occur entirely without relation to the clinical activity of the bowel disease.

In children, gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea often are not the main symptoms and may not appear at all. Instead, the main symptoms may be slow growth, joint inflammation, fever, or weakness and fatigue resulting from anemia.

Although diet cannot cause or cure Crohns disease, some studies suggest that people who eat foods high in saturated fat and sugar or who eat processed foods may be more likely to develop the disease. Certain foods may also reduce symptoms and make recurrences of the disease less likely.

•    Eating fruits and vegetables, lowering fat, and eliminating sugar may reduce the risk of developing Crohns disease. Although a low-fiber diet is one of the risk factors for developing Crohns disease, some people with Crohns disease find that fiber makes symptoms worse. If fiber bothers you, steam or bake your vegetables rather than eating them raw, and avoid high fiber fruits such as apples.

•    Certain foods may aggravate symptoms of Crohns disease – most often, dairy products, fats, and spicy foods. People with Crohns disease may want to avoid these foods.

•    Eat five or six small meals a day.

•    If symptoms are severe, an elemental diet may be recommended. Elemental formulas are liquid diets that contain only the basic building blocks of food and need not be broken down into smaller substances along the digestive tract.

Some people find it difficult to stick to an elemental diet, but after a period of time, often other foods can be reintroduced. One study suggests that adding omega-3 fatty acids to an elemental diet may boost its nutritional content and make it more likely that people with Crohns disease will adhere to it.

Because of decreased appetite, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, side effects of medication, and surgical removal of parts of the digestive tract, many people with Crohns disease have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In particular, people with Crohns disease may lack adequate vitamin D, B12, and K, plus folic acid, calcium, and zinc. Your doctor may recommend that you take a multivitamin daily.  Zinc (25 mg), folic acid (800 mcg), vitamin B12 (800 mcg) — These vitamins are used by the body to repair cells in the intestine.

In addition, drugs such as sulfasalazine and methotrexate may case levels of folic acid in the body to drop, requiring supplementation. Vitamin D (1,000 IU per day) — is necessary to maintain strong bones. People with Crohns disease, especially those who take corticosteroids, often have low levels of vitamin D and are at risk for osteoporosis.  Fish oil (2.7 g per day) — Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may help fight inflammation and reduce the chances of recurrence, but studies have been mixed. The study with the most positive results used a special type of fish oil – “enteric-coated free-fatty-acid form” – that is not sold commercially.

Some researchers suggest that measuring the blood levels of different types of fatty acids may help determine if fish oil would be useful. Do not take high doses of a fish oil supplement if you take blood-thinning medication.

If you are feeling tired and run-down, if you feel generally down, you may benefit from colon cleansing. A colon cleanser flushes out harmful fecal substance that is clinging to the walls of your colon causing harmful toxins from that waste to leach into your crohns disease causesbody.

The term colitis in the dog and cat is very general.  It often refers to any one of a variety of afflictions of the intestinal tract with emphasis on the large intestine (large bowel).

Whenever veterinarians are confronted with a case of colitis in the dog or cat, a process of elimination is started in order to achieve a specific diagnosis for what type of colitis is present. In general, colitis is either acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long term and reoccurring).

The usual signs of colitis in  dogs and cats can cover a range of abnormalities from intermittent constipation to long term (chronic) diarrhea.  In general, because the bowel tissues are inflamed and irritated, the most common signs are frequent need to defecate and soft to watery stool.  Some dogs and cats with colitis pass liquid stool, often with blood, six to ten times a day.

Straining to defecate (called tenismus) while producing little or no stool, is another common sign.  These dogs and cats with colitis are very uncomfortable and often their appetite is suppressed due to a general state of ill health.  Along with the debilitating effects of passing frequent, loose stool (called diarrhea), many dogs and cats with colitis ( IBD, IBS, SBS ) will display a gradual weight loss.  Chronic colitis almost always creates a weight loss situation in dogs and cats due to the loss of vitamins, rapid transit of food through the entire gastrointestinal system, blood and fluid loss, and infectious agents entering the animal’s body through the damaged intestinal wall.


Common Causes of Colitis:

1. Parasitic – Whipworms reside in the upper colon (unlike hooks and rounds); protozoan parasites in some areas of the country are caused by Giardia, Trichomona, Amoeba and Balantida.
2. Foreign Body Colitis – We’ve all seen the dog that eats grass and straw.  This indigestible fiber really irritates the large bowel.  Any dog with pica (the compulsion to eat non food material) is a candidate for intermittent colitis.
3. Bacterial Colitis – Often is caused by Salmonella and Campylobacter.
4. Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease ( IBD )- This is an important group.  This disorder is due to an invasion of the wall of the large bowel by certain types of body cells.  Eosinophilic Colitis is a good example. Another common cellular infiltration into the wall of the large bowel is due to lymphocytes and plasmacytes. This is referred to by veterinarians as LPIBD… Lymphocytic-plasmacytic Inflammatory Bowel Disease and is thought to be due in great measure to allergic reactions within the bowel and even throughout the digestive tract.  The wall of the large intestine is invaded by the individual’s own inflammatory cells in response to some triggering antigen.  An allergen is any substance that incites an immune reaction.
5. Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Usually has a neurological or psychological origin.  It is seen often in the hyper-excitable dog that is stressed, overworked, or apprehensive.
6. Typhilitis – Inflammation of the cecum which is a dead-end pocket branching from the intestinal tract where the small and large intestine join.  (The medical term for this area is Ileoceco-colic junction.) This is located near where the human appendix would be, however  dogs and cats don’t have an appendix.
7. Cancer – The two most common types are lymphosarcoma and adenocarcinoma.

There is no diet for ulcerative colitis that is agreed upon by all healthcare professionals. Most eating plans that are advertised as an ulcerative colitis diet were designed by those who suffer from the disease or those who love them.

One man who sells a cookbook for his ulcerative colitis diet plan says that he was told by a doctor of “oriental medicine” (his words, not mine) that he should eat no meat, no fish, no egg yolks, no fruits and no nuts. While another diet for ulcerative colitis control, developed by a doctor and a biochemist recommends meat, fish, eggs, fruits and nuts. It may be wise and most effective to design your own ulcerative colitis diet, taking into account any known food allergies or sensitivities.

A symptoms and food diary may be helpful to use as you are designing your diet for ulcerative colitis control. Try to note not only what you ate, but what you drank. While there is little agreement about what foods should be included in an ulcerative colitis diet, there are certain products (like caffeine, alcohol, high fiber cereals, some fruits and some fruit juices) that are known to have a laxative effect, cause cramping and diarrhea, even in people who do not have an inflammatory bowel disease like ulcerative colitis.

Diet is important. A healthy diet is important for overall good health and sense of well being. For those who suffer from ulcerative colitis, diet is particularly important.Chronic diarrhea may lead to malnutrition, weight loss, weakness and dehydration. For these reasons a diet for ulcerative colitis control should be well-balanced, with adequate amounts of protein, carbohydrates and good fats. Including vitamin supplements, particularly D, B12 and iron is recommended.

Simple sugars and artificial sweeteners cause flare ups in some people. No matter what your food preferences, it is important when designing your ulcerative colitis diet to be honest with yourself. It may be hard to give up sodas, coffee, candy and muffins, but your goal should be to control your symptoms. Ulcerative colitis is considered a chronic disease that has a tendency to go into remission and then flare up again over time. Mild to moderate symptoms may be controlled with an ulcerative colitis diet, supplements, herbs and medications, but severe ulcerative colitis can only be cured with surgery. Since cases rarely begin as severe, keeping your symptoms under control decreases the likelihood that surgery will be necessary. One thing to consider when designing your ulcerative colitis diet is stress and anxiety.

While stress and anxiety are not believed to cause ulcerative colitis, it is believed that they can aggravate the condition. Many people who suffer from ulcerative colitis also suffer from anxiety. It may be that the condition causes people to be more anxious, never knowing when they may have to find a bathroom, always worrying about a flare up, etc. Symptoms of anxiety include rapid pulse, trembling, shaking, sweating and nausea or abdominal distress. If you experience symptoms of anxiety, in addition to symptoms of ulcerative colitis, diet considerations are similar, but there are other suggestions.

These include eating smaller meals more frequently, chewing thoroughly and eating slowly.Salt and preservatives are known to put additional stress on the body. These should be excluded or at least restricted from a healthy ulcerative colitis diet, particularly when symptoms of stress and anxiety are present. When designing your diet for ulcerative colitis control, try to include less pre-packaged foods which are full of salt and preservatives.
One more consideration for an ulcerative colitis diet is meat selection. Most companies that raise poultry, cattle and pigs for human consumption include hormones in the animal’s diets. While there is no conclusive evidence that these hormones are harmful to humans, many people believe that they can put additional stress on the human body, because they increase stress on the animal’s bodies. When you are selecting meat and fish for your ulcerative colitis diet, try to select products that do not contain hormones. For example, wild salmon, free range chicken and other organic products are better choices for a diet for ulcerative colitis control than pork and beef.
