Reply to comment by cgarcia123 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

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.
