This is great news, coming from a person in the midst of a colitis flare that started mid-January 2021.
Colitis and other such afflictions may be a result of a lack of this protein due to a genetic piece missing..................
My kid has Crohns. He’s doing well since he had some of his intestine removed but this sounds very promising.
check into ‘elemental diet’ - it’s quite expensive- I just got about 15 days worth for $208- and that is just at 2 meals a day (I’m gonna have to supplement with something like Whey isolate which is basically also elemental (predigested, or broken down proteins) for a couple of ‘meals’ during the day. I’d like to go total elemental though, but that will likely cost upwards of $1000 for 1 month’s worth to get the calories needed daily- (about 2000-2500).
It gives your intestines a chance to relax, where is doesn’t have to work so hard to break down proteins. It’s a bit tough to do as you can only drink the stuff for however long- some do it for 2 weeks. Some though do a partial, meaning mostly the drink, but also allowing easy to digest foods too-
‘Absorb Plus’ is about the best you can get without prescription- but they say you shouldn’t do it without doctor’s supervision- but I don’t care- gonna try it myself- Intestinal autoimmune diseases are awful- Sorry you have to go through it-
I just learned about elemental diets literally 5 days ago- been checking it out- I did go on enteral feeding in hospital way back when, which helped a lot-
If you don’t mind the question, Do you suffer fibromyalgia with it too?
