Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

Let's talk about ulcerative colitis, a very nasty condition where you have inflammation

in your colon, which is the last part of your digestive tract and the rectum with ulcers,

and the problem is there's only really two solutions medically.

One is surgery and the other one is steroids.

So, I don't like these two solutions because as soon as you do the steroids,

you might feel better, but then the next time you do it, you need more and more and more and more

until the point where you become resistant to steroids.

And it has a lot of side effects as well, and of course, surgery is not the ultimate solution

because the purpose of the colon is to absorb water and electrolytes.

So, if you're not able to reabsorb water and recycle water,

you're going to be dehydrated, not to mention the importance of electrolytes as well on the heart.

Also, the colon houses most of your microbiome, so if you don't have that flora there to help you make vitamins,

help your immune system, you're going to have a lot of issues and a lot of skin issues as well.

So, I want to give you some other things to do naturally to help if you have ulcerative colitis.

It's an autoimmune condition, which means your own immune system is creating a constant irritation and inflammation to the colon, creating ulcers.

So, the most important thing, if you're new to my channel, maybe this is a new thing to you if you're not,

this is what you need to do fasting.

Fasting is the most important thing.

When you eat six meals a day, this is very, very bad for ulcerative colitis because you never give a chance to heal.
