I have had a diagnosis and struggles with Crohn's/Colitis for over 10 years.
After researching every research study I ever come across and transitioned to the ZOE diet plan launched by Dr Tim Spectre from king's college, I have found better health. Although I still have flare ups.
Recently I have made a subtle but fundamental change to how I eat after listening to this podcast:

..as well as changing the order I eat food in by taking the advice of this nutritional expert:

...and I think I've found the root cause of IBD & perhaps even cancer...
CHEMICALS in food!
I now don't buy ANY FOODS that contain chemicals (emulsiphyers, stabilisers, pectins, etc etc). Only eat whole foods.
Even whole beans in tins have chemicals in surprisingly.
In the entire bread isle at Sainsbury's there was one bread, a pack of tortilla, that didn't have chemicals or preservatives in! It's mad.
My wife to be is a food professional and is part of this work. So it comes from a trusted source.
I hope this might help others in the same situation as I know we in the spectrum have a very night rate of IBD
Did anyone find this useful? Just curious
m8, people got cancer way before chemicals in food. Some scientist found Egyptian mummies with clear signs of cancer. By the way, thanks to those chemicals we enjoy way better food safety and quality than our grandfathers.
I don't mean all cancers (I have adjusted the title, my bad), but digestive types perhaps.
Food safety is one thing, but I'm talking about food quality. Emulsiphyers for example are used to emulate good textural or food consistency. But they are unecessary.
Listen to the podcast link. He is passing on the latest research and valuable information which it sounds like you may benefit from hearing.
I hear you though
That doesn't mean it's completely irrelevant. People got cancer before smoking tobacco and the industrial revolution but that doesn't mean your risk isn't increased by other factors.
I think a lot of it is luck of the draw. My grandfather was a heavy drinker and a chain smoker and he never had cancer or heart or lung problems and lived well in to his nineties and died after a fall.
