Sep 2, 2024, 02:05 PM

A recent scientific paper suggests that the ketogenic and carnivore diets may offer significant benefits for individuals suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The study, which involved a case series of 10 patients, reported major clinical improvements in all participants who adhered to the diet, effectively managing their conditions without the need for medication. The study's authors claim that all 10 subjects were effectively cured, indicating the potential for these diets to revolutionize treatment. This finding highlights the potential of dietary interventions in treating chronic conditions like IBD, which are often characterized by lifelong struggles and limited success with traditional treatments. The study's authors advocate for further exploration of these diets as a viable alternative to medication and surgery for IBD patients.
