When I first was hit with my issue I was so bad that I hardly had the strength to get out of bed last year. I could eat no vegetables with insoluble fiber, no raw salads, no spicy foods, no MSG. I ate a diet of what I would call pre-digested foods in that they were very well cooked to break them down for digestion. I began eating intuitively. For some reason as soon as it hit, something told me to begin putting cocoanut oil in my coffee. I began drinking only mineral spring water because of our treated tap water full of fluoride and other chemicals, I figured it couldn't hurt and I swear by it now. I also began drinking close to 100oz. of water daily.

I had to figure it out by myself because all the doctor had for me was drugs, immune suppressants/steroids. Had I not already been on low carb, I feel sure that I would have had cancer....

The one drug that I think was a life saver though was Dycyclomine which relaxes the intestinal spasms. The doctor said that the intestines are like a snake in that they keep moving especially when there is inflammation in one area so as well as a localized stabbing pain, there were also whole abdominal spasms that the Dycyclomine helped relax.

In my case, homemade chicken soup was all I could eat for months, that and eggs and bacon for breakfast went down just fine.
I also began taking pro-biotics. I also tried Aloe Vera juice which I don't know if it really helped.

In reading back through the article this " Although in some cases, the microbiome goes awry and causes a person's immune system to attack the bowel" is exactly what happened to me leaving me ill for months.
