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
My brother has been an advocate for paleo fo years works well for him
Well, if you want to have the same level of health of a paleo man, be my guest. Paleo people died at 25, by the way.

Absolutely!
Thank you.
My condolences to you too
Sorry for your loss. I lost both my grandparents to cancer.
Chemicals can be a cause of cancer but so can many other things from smoking, inhaling fumes and toxins, to too much uv from the sun on the skin or if you're unlucky it just happens.
In some instances it's in your family genes for some reason which gives you an increased chance of getting cancer, the Nolans family is a good example here, but you may not get it.
Sometimes for whatever reason it just happens. But when it does your diet isn't going to stop your cells reproducing which is what cancer is and does. If you've got it definitely seek medical assistance. If your diet is bad then definitely improve it but don't rely on that to cure you.
I haven't taken the link but I think your heading is incorrect and may give people false hope.
It isn't a 'cure' for cancer, is it?
There are people reading this who may have cancer or have loved ones with it or lost loved ones because of it, as I did.
You say that you 'have had' a diagnosis (of cancer), so, I dearly hope that you are also taking medical advice outside of dietary and I really do wish you well this.
doctors often tell you to go on one of them caveman diets... forgot what they are called, when you get ibs and bowel issues as the caveman diet is what we are evolved to naturally eat and doesnt cause issues.paleo diet thats it...
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.
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.
Hi thanks for this. I've got IBD so will give this a try as well and see if it makes a difference for me.
Did anyone find this useful? Just curious
