Low carbohydrate living for Crohn's disease.
Lowering our consumption of carbohydrates restricts the amount of acidic ash that our bowel has to deal with and, in turn, the level of inflammation in our bowel. ‘As Crohn’s patients avoid acidic ash foods the body begins to recoup its acid-alkali balance. This is the start of the recovery process as the body gradually recovers from the effects of a negative acidic environment.’ Source

Comment
If you decide to limit your carbohydrate intake and move towards a ketogenic diet it can be very disorientating at first. This book helped me make that adjustment and, from all the evidence presented, gave me confidence I was making the correct decision for the long term well being of my body. For me it was essential reading for managing a significant dietary adjustment.
