Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Hi Duncan, I read all of this below and it makes sense. I have had my entire large colon out with the exception of the last 6 inches which was attached to my small intestine. Is there anything else that I can do to help myself? Thanks,, CindyDuncan Crow <duncancrow wrote: One of the first things to do, Elizabeth, is to reduce bowel dysbiosis. This reduces nutrient malabsorption and also allows for better digestion, which results in better availability of the nutrients at the bowel lining for that absorption.The second thing to do is to reduce the free radical damage of the bowel lining and throughout the body. When the bowel lining is irritated you still get malabsorption and leaky gut; when the body has a toxin and free radical load there is a physical energy burden that is essentially wasting all that hard-won energy. The secret to correcting dysbiosis is simply replacing the inulin that was in the historic diet but lacking in the modern diet because we eat different vegetables. It's OK to eat the modern vegetables, but you should replace the inulin just as you would the other missing nutrients in modern food.Improving antioxidant status reduces the free radical damage, and raw foods are key; they provide traces of the body's master antioxidant and detoxifier glutahtione. Trouble is, raw foods don't contain much, certainly not enough to restore antioxidant status when one is ill, so we supplement with undenatured whey and selenium. The bonus is the increased energy. Glutathione is an antioxidant that protects the energy generators in the body but it is also directly used in the energy generation itself. Undenatured whey is also alkalizing, which allows for better oxygen transport for even more energy, better metabolism. Metabolic increase is what health is about and whey does it. The other antioxidants C, D, E just help and avoid deficiencies.Maybe I should mention two deficient minerals, potassium and magnesium. Look into it.My clients heal themselves using these basics, just what you asked for. More details are posted in my anti-aging and autoimmune disorders protocol; it will come up if you Gooogle it.All the best, Duncan Crow , "Elizabeth Otto" <godshealingchild wrote:>> If it were possible for all of us to receive simple, sensible,> reasonable, easy, good nutrition so the body can heal itself then we> would all be reasonably healthy.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 CIndy, even without a large bowel you will benefit by using inulin in your diet to keep irritation by the bad bacteria low in your intestine through the use of natural probiotic flora. Bacteria are fewer but by no means absent in the intestine, and a normal healthy culture is easily accomplished by simply feeding your probiotic organisms (inulin). You'll need more bioavailable minerals and vitamins because absorption would of course be missing in the colon, but you probably know that. The probiotics, particularly bifidobacteria are important also because their main product is butyrate, which feeds intestinal cells and keeps the regeneration up and leaky gut down. You'd also benefit by using undenatured whey and selenium; it ensures glutathione is not depleted, which it can be completely so in an injury such as occur on the bowel lining in Crohn's and colitis. If you have time you would do well to join the candidiasis group, the largest (4100+ people) and most scientific bowel health group on the Internet, IMO. It's got an odd name considering it's all the same disorder, bowel dysbiosis, but don't let that throw you. candidiasis/ And, we grind up and eat common health myths as a fiber source; this is a most useful pasttime and more fun than lawn bowling.
