now on to the topic of problematic foods in ulcerative colitis the mistake i see most people make is they think they can just eat anything and hope that their ulcerative colitis symptoms will just go away but frequently that's just not the case typically there's a food that's triggering an immune response then that food will cause recurring problems long term that's why it's very important to keep a food diary and regularly review it to see if you can catch what's going wrong it's amazing to see the number of easily avoidable problems if you just pay attention and you may be thinking so what are some of these problem foods for ulcerative colitis now like i said earlier everybody's different but this research article from a few years ago shows an altered intestinal environment is closely associated with the inflammation scene in ulcerative colitis now you shouldn't be surprised by this considering around 70 to 80 percent of your immune system is contained in your gut so when you have an immune disease such as ulcerative colitis you need to look at what's wrong in your intestines some food when it's not broken down properly can trigger a strong immune response frequently inflammation starts in the intestine so to heal inflammation you also need to heal the gut before we discuss how to start doing that if you're serious about healing the gut or ulcerative colitis and

training comes with a complete actionable game plan for how you can do this at home just enter your email at the top of the page and get started now let's discuss what foods to avoid i recorded this video earlier and discusses how the immune system can be triggered by certain complex proteins we Foods to Avoid eat protein in our diets it can come from a variety of sources both plant and animal a protein is basically a bunch of amino acids connected together when the protein enters our digestive system enzymes in our intestine break up these into individual components called amino acids which then get absorbed these intestinal enzymes are called proteases and the reason this is relevant is sometimes the proteases don't get the job done and we're left with large particles of protein that linger in our intestines and bloodstream for long periods of time why does this happen well certain types of protein are hard to break down also there may not be enough protease to break down the proteins protease enzymes are produced by our bodies but can also be found in many types of plants as you already know the gut is just one big giant immune organ so these incompletely digested proteins register as a foreign threat and generate an immune response basically the body thinks it's under attack by these large undigested proteins so then it secretes

a bunch of immune chemicals which cause inflammation and that can be a problem let me give you some examples Examples bovine serum antibodies and autoimmune disease there are some very famous studies that looked into this the human body's response to beef and cow's milk in many people the serum protein from cows is not broken down completely and folks end up with antibodies these antibodies are 10 times more common in immune disease casein and whey many folks cannot break down the casein in milk protein some people also have a difficulty with the weight itself if you're dealing with immune inflammation it's best to avoid casein altogether and probably also most whey products this includes dairy milk and cheese also check your protein powder to make sure it's not causing you problems i prefer a plant-based protein but if you decide to use whey i would recommend a whey isolate not away concentrate which contains small amounts of casein in it there's some person-to-person variation on this so if you're just starting off it's best to avoid this altogether but once you've mastered the process you'll be able to see how things evolve there is a type of casein called a2 that's a bit easier to digest but it's hard to find and you have to specifically look for cow's milk that's a2 i'll post a link in the notes section about this gluten this one is very famous because it's estimated that nearly a third of a population has an issue with this and i think it might be a multi-factorial problem i'll post a link to an article i wrote on the topic but to summarize i tell most folks to limit their contact with gluten containing products in general this includes anything to do with wheat flour egg protein this one is a tough one because many people who give up meat rely on eggs as a source of protein some nutritionists would disagree with me on this and i'll again post a link to help clarify this topic since there's a lot of misinformation the data from several studies show that egg protein can trigger a strong immune response in the body specifically in folks with immune inflammatory disorders but not in every person my suggestion is to cut this out for a few months or just a little while to see if it makes an overall difference egg whites can sometimes be reintroduced when the time is right and i want to be clear i'm not saying that these foods are bad what i'm saying is when you're trying to decrease inflammation in the body and you intend to do it really quickly the best thing to do is to limit these types of proteins in the diet short term Supplements it's also very important to consider taking a protease enzyme supplement with your largest meal you can also get protease from plant sources here's a list of foods with protease in them sprouts and microgreens probably have the highest concentration others include asparagus buckwheat japanese pagoda avocado papaya pineapple cucumber garlic coconut flaxseed spirulina figs chlorella ginger root and aloe vera plants contain enzymes which help break up protein large undigested protein provoke an unwanted immune response in our gut so the more that they're broken down by enzymes the better the enzymes that digest proteins are known as proteases and plants produce proteases to help with fruit ripening and seedling growth we use them obviously to stay healthy the names of these enzymes include seropeptase natokinase catalase bromelain and papain these are just examples in our diet we hardly get enough of these unless we're eating a ton of microgreens or sprouts which is why you should consider taking this protease supplement if you have immune inflammation next in this category of enzymes is coenzyme q10 which is found in green and leafy vegetables but you can also get this from a supplement i hope you're starting to notice a trend here green and leafy vegetables hold a lot of value here across multiple phyto categories so do seeds and sprouts and herbs and spices the trouble i find is that it's hard to get a substantial amount of enzyme from everyday food so a lot of folks just take supplements to help with this again not all protease supplements are created equal and you have to be sure that the enzymes you're ordering have confirmed activity across a variety of ph environments because your stomach is acidic your small bowel is alkaline and your blood is neutral to slightly basic so ideally you need an enzyme blend that functions across all three alright i hope you enjoy that video now i want to know what types of food trigger your symptoms and have you tried avoiding them i know everybody's different but what works for some people may also work for others let me know in the comments below also if you like this video help support my channel by sharing this with
