Reply to comment by Weird-Fox-4036 in Adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle might prevent up to 60% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases. Diagnoses of IBD have been increasing globally, the study authors noted, with the condition currently affecting around 1.3 million adults in Europe by Wagamaga

My IBD like gastric problems stopped 2 years ago when I started making (and eating) my own yogurt with the L. Reuteri probiotic. It's basically about using L. Reuteri capsules as a yogurt starter (look up youtube videos), and it's fun if anything. The yogurt this makes is more like cottage cheese but still quite tasty. Nowadays I usually start my yogurt with a 10 to 1 mix of L.Reuteri and normal yogurt, so the end result looks and tastes almost like store bought, but certainly contains a lot of L. Reuteri.

Thx for meaning well, but I'm on probiotics, prebiotics and only pro positive gut microbia and anti inflammatory food. I got severely disabled through covid, due to developing an autoimmune disorder. As long as those stupid auto antibodies are destroying my body, I won't be able to get rid of ibd. That's exactly the problem I meant, so many think that you just don't eat right, do the right things.. when there is the possibility of auto-antibodies inflamming your gut ..

My son developed Crohn’s suddenly in 2020 at age 14. He’d never been sick a day in his life, is a healthy eater and an active athlete. It’s so frustrating hearing non-IBD folks’ opinions on this debilitating disease. CBD might help with some symptom relief but omg it’s not some magic elixir for seriously sick people! The reality in our case is that my son needs a medical infusion every 8 weeks for the rest of his life in order to live a “normal” life.. and those infusions cost nearly 2k a pop in the US. Dietary changes are not enough.. in my opinion environmental factors AND the food we eat are to blame for the rise of IBD in the Western world.

Try adding CBD to the regimen. It often helps with inflammation and the autoimmune issues that cause it. Just my experience working with many different patients.

I’ve actually heard a lot about this and have been wanting to try. Thanks for this info. Do you use a yogurt making machine?

You can do this with any yogurt machine, but it's important to be able to get 37C with some accuracy. A sous vide stick in a water bath and some glass jars is a good way to do it, and you can make a lot at the same time. It can take 16 to 24 hours for the milk to curdle.
