The Colitis Scope

On this episode on The Colitis Scope, I talk about the importance of taking your time when it comes to eating. Most people eat in a matter of a few minutes which can have a lot of negative affects on the body. I want you to understand why it is important to take your time and enjoy your food.

Today’s episode I talk about the three tips that can help you with your recovery with your health. These tips include having a positive mindset, communication with people, and not comparing to others. I’ve found these to be very powerful tools with my health and recovery. These tips will help you have a better outlook on life and change the way you look at your disease. I want you to know that we are in this together to help one another to regain our health! As always, stay healthy Gut Warriors!

Today's episode, I am going over Slippery Elm and finding out why it can be so important for someone that is trying to heal their gut. Slippery Elm has the ability to help soothe our gut lining, which is important with IBD patients since their guts usually take a fair share of irritation throughout the day.

My goal is to shed more light on this subject so that I can help other people like myself who may be dealing with an autoimmune disease and looking for ways to regain their health! I offer this information as a helpful tool, but should not be the deciding factor when it comes to your health. Make sure to always talk to your doctor first before making any changes.

Stay healthy my Gut Warriors!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has fallen off the bandwagon when it comes to healthy food. This past weekend was one of those times where I picked the wrong food and I even knew it. I’m a sucker for pizza and thought this time would be better. I was wrong and I felt the affects within hours. This is an episode to let you know that we are human and will mess up from time to time. The main thing is to get back up and continue on the health journey.

I find that it is important to understand the structure of the colon so that when talking to someone else they can visualize the area and understand how it operates. In this episode I talk about each section and the roles that they play when it comes to our health. This episode is more informative and to give a general overlay of the large intestines.

Every couple of episodes I like to check back in with my audience and talk about where my current health is at. I find that if you talk about your progression you can see the goals you have been hitting. It also is a good time to see if there are things that are holding you back to better health. So I wanted to take this time to talk about this so that you take the time to check your health progression.

Today’s episode is about fecal transplant for patients with ulcerative colitis. I am going over the study and talk about my thoughts on the finding on the study. I find it important to keep on studies that are coming out to stay up to date on all the new information. I want to be well rounded when it comes to this disease so that I have a better understanding with all treatment options.

On today’s episode of The Colitis Scope, I will be diving deeper into the mineral known as Selenium. This may be a new mineral for you, but I want to make sure you know about it. It plays a major role in our health and helps protect our body from Oxidative Stress. So sit back and allow your brain to absorb some knowledge.
