Expert Protocol Series:
The Definitive Natural Protocol for Ulcerative Colitis
Overview
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation and ulcers in the mucous membrane lining of the colon, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, pain, gas, and altered stool consistency. This condition, classified as an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is often exacerbated by factors like overuse of antibiotics, poor eating habits, food sensitivities, excessive stress, constipation, and an imbalance in gut bacteria. The following protocol supports healing and aims to reduce inflammation while promoting a healthy intestinal environment.
Protocol for Ulcerative Colitis
1. LauricidinĀ® for Bacterial Overgrowth and Gut Support
- Oral Dosage: Start with small amounts, working up to 3 grams daily to combat bacterial and candida overgrowth.
- Additional Support: Use with herbal teas such as dandelion, red clover, and pau dāarco for enhanced bacterial balancing effects.
2. Digestive Support
- Digestive Enzymes: Take enzymes before and after meals to improve nutrient absorption and reduce digestive strain.
- L-Glutamine: 2-3 grams, twice daily, between meals, to repair intestinal lining.
- Chlorophyll: Use in liquid or capsule form to support cleansing.
- Aloe Vera Pulp: 1 tablespoon of fresh aloe inner pulp to soothe inflammation.
3. Nutritional Supplements
- Essential Fatty Acids: 1-2 grams per day with food for anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Vitamin A: Use fat- and water-soluble forms for mucosal healing.
- B-Complex Vitamins: 50 mg, twice daily, to address deficiencies caused by dysbiosis.
- Vitamin C: Warm liquids with 1,000 mg of Vitamin C can provide soothing properties and immune support.
- Herbal Teas: Drink warm teas, like dandelion or red clover, to support cleansing and inflammation reduction.
4. Dietary Recommendations
- Remove Constipating Foods: Avoid cheese, bread, pasta, crackers, fried foods, and nightshades like tomatoes.
- Cooked Vegetables: Eat cooked vegetables rather than raw to reduce plant compound irritation (e.g., lectins).
- Low-Refined Carbohydrate Diet: Exclude refined carbs, fried foods, chips, and sugary snacks.
- Soups and Stews: Incorporate bone broth, chicken, and fish prepared in soups or stews rather than grilled or roasted.
- Milk Alternatives: Opt for almond, coconut, or rice milk instead of cowās milk. If needed, use organic goat milk or whey.
- Fruits: Avoid sour fruits like citrus, pineapples, and grapefruits. Eat fruits after breakfast and separately from other meals.
5. Lifestyle Modifications
- Hydration: Drink spring or distilled water with added electrolytes. Avoid water with high iron content.
- Exercise: Engage in light walking or mild activity to promote gut motility. Avoid excessive exercise.
- Warm Liquids: Drink warm soups and teas rather than cold liquids to soothe the digestive tract.
6. Long-Term Gut Health Practices
- Identify Food Sensitivities: Remove foods that irritate the intestines to allow for faster recovery.
- Fermented Foods: Introduce homemade fermented foods to replenish good bacteria.
