A mostly strict Keto-Carn diet seems to do the best for my gut healing. ... Which then of course knocks on to many other ailments clearing up too.
Tried wean to broader diet again in recent months. Now feeling the need to go back to more strict.
So much for my decade trying to be vegetarian/vegan.
GAPS diet seems savvy too. Basic focus is on eating just "fats and ferments". Fatty foods and fermented foods.
Always more to explore.
Really surprised me that toilet visits went so smoothly when I wasn't eating any fiber. Was eating ample butter and ghee, for the butyrate, rather than relying on my hampered gut biome. Adding more fiber to a depleted and imbalanced microbe based digestive system just adds more of what it already cannot deal with, contributing to scouring further down.
Main thing, if there's only one thing, is avoid all those over-processed, rancid, chemical-treated, PUFA, omega-6 heavy, "vegetable" (seed) oils, most especially sunflower oil. Only hempseed oil and olive oil okay.
If going to do wheat flour, find a traditional grain, like spelt, instead, and organic and not dried with glyphosate.
Fermenting fruit juices with probiotics (like lacto reuteri, and 35 strain probiotics, and water kefir granules), as well as making my own kimchi, has proven a substantial benefit too. Though, careful on the kimchi, as too much too quick can be quite the explosive gassy bloat.
Low "FODMAP"(? I forget what), and avoiding/reducing nutrient uptake inhibitors, can help me a lot too. So no oxalates, phytates, salicylates, tannins, lectins, etc.
At least for a couple months or so.
And, more fish! (I need to remind myself.)
