Finally! A nutritionist that cares and actually has a track record of living with Ulcerative Colitis. The world needs people like you Kenny!

This is how people should be if they really cared about helping other people. Not holding information behind a paywall but instead putting it out there and then offering coaching if you need further assistance. Kenny, thanks for doing what you do. No one deserves to suffer or risk death because they can’t afford medical information. P.s. You should have a donate button.

Imagine having a terrible illness and fully overcomming it and start helping others with it what a Power Move

"Check with your Doctor". But ones local Doctor do not know anything about Microbiome, they only hand out dangerous drugs that have horrendous side effects.

Never stop making videos dude. You're really helping people out. My mother and I are beginning to feel better because of your work

I can't believe this amazing guy is giving out all this logical and sensible and informative information, for free. Thanks so much

It's been 8 months roaming in internet for solution for IBD , I swear no one explained as perfect as u did !!Great job ....Lots of love from India

I am so grateful to you! I have newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis that put me in the hospital for 6 days. Not one Healthcare professional has given me the info you have. I have been studying this disease the last few days and have made clumsy attempts to eat correctly. The left lower abdominal pain comes and goes, but the diarrhea and weakness are relentless. I saw this particular video you put out and learned so much, because you understand! I just wanted to thank and encourage you for making me more aware and less frightened of all the changes necessary to keep the inflammation at bay.

Found your channel last week and cried of happiness in the middle of the street. Ordered reversed osmosis system and started boiling water for now. Started with blueberry shake, probiotics and fermented foods. Reporting 3 days of soft poops after 18 months of Hell. Still have a long way to go but feeling confident and optimistic. God bless you, Kenny, for doing these videos. You rock.

Yeah! I’m so happy you are back making videos! I’m newly diagnosed with UC and when I was hospitalized I Binge watched your videos! They have been sooooo helpful! Keep up the great work! God has a calling on your life!

Hey Man, I have been watching you for awhile. Congrats on continuing your education and also keeping us up to date. I have a flare a couple times a year and use yours and mikes protocol to get back on track. Thank you for caring. Love and hugs brother💙

As usual you're the man. Really appreciate all your effort into producing the most accurate honest information and your willingness to admit where you might have been wrong in the past. God's already using you for some amazing things and I know this is just the beginning.

Thank you so much for this video. My mom suffers from Crohns and Colitis and I've been watching all your videos and taking notes in hopes to help her heal just like you did. Seriously thank you.

You are an unsung hero, my friend, thank you for educating me of this curse I've lived with for so long. Kefir definitely helps! And getting in an hour of exercise is a must.

I was just diagnosed with IBD and I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos, research, education, and information. Thanks so much, this encourages me to not give up!

I love what you are doing here. I love the thick content of your vid. It nourishes my soul as I have been suffering from IBS for 24 years now. I am finally onto seeing how people who had so called more serious gut diseases healed as my hyper irritable gut..I just want to be like you and have a success story too. This means so much to me. Thank you

I was diagnosed with UC literally yesterday :( I know a couple family members with it but they do not lead healthy lives and I don’t want to end up like that. I don’t know much about UC and I’m scared tbh, but I am so glad that people like you exist. Thank you so much for sharing your story and tips on KZfaq for people like me to find!

Congrats on becoming a nutritionist and thank you for these videos!

I'm so happy you made another video. All the best , u give us hope

Thanks for making this super detailed video, it’s the best communicated approach I’ve seen to date. Thank you!!

Thanks Kenny your KZfaq videos have GREATLY contributed to the healing of my gut! Although I wouldn’t say that I am fully in remission. I know by watching your new videos it will get me there! It has been your research that has brought me to the healing that I am experiencing today. Solid well formed bowel movement’s.

Very excited I found your video. I’ve recently been diagnosed with UC after I had my first flare (praying my last). Before then I never had any issues with my digestive system so I thought. I was able to eat anything with out irrigation or diarrhea. I didn’t have diarrhea ever before my flare. Anyway, I’m currently on Humira and all though it’s working my goal is to really be off of it. I’m going to try to follow all your advice 🙏🏽

Dude, you are such a blessing to watch, so many people charge for the information you give and the fact you do not means you help so many people who may not have had the opportunity to do so, dude thank you!!!

God bless you man for such an authentic transparent, respectful video. Thank you, much appreciated!

In my experience, your updates to your protocol make it more accurate!

Kenny thanks 🙏🏼 we all really appreciate the videos and your hard work, dedication to share this great knowledge with us which is lifesaving. Because you’re someone who we all can look up to and push ourselves through hard times and inshallah completely heal ourselves 🙏🏼.

I love the introduction of a process map. this is gold!

What a beautiful work you are doing Thanks for taking much of the guess work out for many of us and making it easy for anyone to follow.

You just blew my mind, Kenny. I had no idea about soluble and insoluble fibre. I’ve been shooting myself in the foot this whole time! Thank you for this knowledge. Life changing!

This is really interesting, thank you. I retired yesterday from teaching psychology and have begun to incorporate you protocols in my diet after having had a nasty flare up and didnt know what it was. I come from a generation where high fibre was king in the UK-I have since realised that despite me wanting it to- it didnt suit me at all, so I have adapted. A journey to health is as important as the heros journey in any culture, so well done for taking that inspirational journey and thank you. Have you ever thought about the effect of emotion and stress on flare ups?

Thank you so much for this information your videos are just great. The first one i came across was such a big encouragement and got me out of a depressed state

Your videos are the best thanks Kenny. I keep coming back to them as such great advice.

You’re a god sent saviour for the IBD community.. keep up the good work bro.. God Bless you.

You experienced and you cared and thus shared. Not like others who lure you to buy their online remedies. God bless❤️

. This might be the most high quality content I have ever seen in YT No kidding I can’t speak English very well and you make this easy to understand specially with graphic and Video . And all these info is free wt a legend !

Finally, a plain and simple, but thorough video. It was difficult to understand, if I need to eat a lot of fiber, or not. Now it's clear. Thank you!

You da man Kenny. I’m currently in the last phase of my own healing journey and the info put forth by you and Mike has been the major catalyst to help me get there. Hope to do a video with you someday! Big ups

Great video!! So happy that you are doing well. I have been following you since my son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 3 years. I believe you have a recipe for the fermented veggies & for the kefir?

Love your vids Kenny! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Sincere content creator! Thank u so much for these very useful info

Whoooo!!! 👏 thank you for all your help Kenny!!

Bro you have me my life back thank you from the bottom of my heart

I just want to say I really found a lot of help with these videos. I was recently diagnosed with early onset Crohn’s disease and I feel debilitated and heartbroken. But videos like this give me faith that with time I can get better. Thank you

Hello Kenny! REALLY thank you SO MUCh for all the videos!!! It´s so awesome you give out every knowledge that you have just in the videos for everyone! You never stopped to stay upon your goal, which is" I just want to help people" from the very beginning in 2017 until now! Thank you! Sadly I couldn´t find any clean raw milk nor the bulk of blueberries...so I couldn´t really follow your bootcamp and went through a new bad flare up for three months...but your vids give me hope. There must be out there something I can do......I WILL find a way...thank you.

Kenny Honnas, can you make a video on detox symptoms that typically occur when changing diet? For example, how to tell the difference between a detox symptom versus a food intolerance? How long does detox symptoms typically last? Etc.

Kenny, you're a great guy...I really appreciate you spreading your message and knowledge to help others...and myself! Hopefully there is a lot more to come from you! let the healing begin! x

Kenny Thanks for helping out so many in need.

This sounds like just the video I need to watch. Wow no medication either? That's amazing. Awesome man.

Thanks for the incredible info . How much time to start to see a bit of improvement to make sure we are on the right track ? Thank you

What a legend

This actually all works for me!! I am in an active flare up and trying to mend. It's comforting to know that your formula for healing will get me back to health soon.

I can't thank you enough for this video. I don't long youtube videos but you got my attention from the title. So I watched all the way through. I live in Ghana and I have been diagnosed with eczema. But I have always believed that the root cause is a leaky gut. So I will implement your points . Thanks sooo much

Thank you so much for you're videos, I'm from Germany I don't understand every single word hahaha. But I know what you mean in general and I'm very thankful that there is some Like you, you motivate me and are someone who does everything without these unnecessary medications that's what I like so much I like to watch your videos. Now I o follow everything but with this video I got even more clarity you're the best you take time different help. I wish you the best in living and an eternal health brother

Thank you for this video! Mostly everything i've been doing matches up with what you advise! I definitely agree with the water, I healed an ulcer last year mainly with cabbage juice and bone broth, incorporated some fermented veggies and avoided gluten and dairy and healed myself. When I thought I was in the clear I stopped eating fermented veggies - got cheap and was drinking fountain water from work...BIG mistake, I also started to eat bagels with cream cheese, which gave me a lovely ulcer in my intestines again! Ugh. At least I knew what to do to heal it, but mad at myself for not keeping up with the healthy lifestyle. Another thing I stumbled upon is Blood Type Diet, i'm an O+ and it said that my blood type is prone to ulcers...this made a lot of sense since it also said that I should be avoiding wheat and dairy and mostly eating meat and veggies. Since I was a vegetarian most of my life - I clearly messed myself up. Now i'm eating grass fed Beef, wild caught Salmon and more fermented veggies while drinking filtered water (FIJI's my fave) and am starting to feel SO much better, not only with my ulcer but mentally as well. Food is medicine! (Or poison) 😝

My gut is so wrecked. I'm glad I found your channel. I'll start your method hopefully soon.

Thank you for this video Kenny. You are a life saver. Literally.

Thank you for this. I'm starting my healing journey now after 10 years of having pan colitis.

Thank you! You’re helping so many people!❤️

Thanks for breaking down all this Kenny. Somehow some of these is what I tend to eat when feeling inflamed, as if my body knew. But I didn't have all this research data, the key elements to GM like Kefir, the difference between the fibers, etc. You are a genius!

Bro..I know it is hard to heal but i firmly believe that everyone can heal it require dedication, self believe and precise protocol to optimize gut microbiome Pray for recovery of all who are suffering from awfull disease 🙏🙏 AWESOME WORK KENNY HONNUS ITS APPRECIABLE 👍 Keep GOING on 🗽👍👍

Hey Kenny! in your video you said to not move onto phase 2 if you are still experiencing inflammation (flaring), so does that mean I shouldn't have the smoothie with bananas, blueberries, and avocados? Thank you for the help!

Congratulations on graduating!!!! Thanks for all the information provided

Great video such a blessing to have someone like you that shares his stories in order to help others with this disease ...much respect to you . I do have a couple questions. Do you recommend buying kefir milk (like greek kefir) or pro and prebiotics capsules the store?

You're a life saver mate, was close to giving up until I stumbled across you. Still in early stages of putting together my own dietary change, unfortunately in Aus we're unable to legally buy Raw Milk ... so I'm looking for a good substitute. But mentally, I'm seeing life alot clearer now than I had since being diagnosed with U.C in 2017.

Great stuff man thanks!

Fair play. Your optimism is inspiring. Thank you

You are amazing! I am ready to start again!

Hi Kenny great video man!!! Couple things though: turmeric's awesome anti-inflammatory properties need to be accompanied by black pepper. I think just adding a little bit to the rice will greatly enhance the absorption of it's properties. Also, the rice would be better washed and soaked before cooking as it greatly reduces the excessive starch content. Our saliva breaks down this starch and most people I know don't chew their rice properly and thus cause excessive undigested starch to enter the gut! Thanks for all the free info bro love what you are doing.

Another inspiring and interesting video Kenny, thank you. What are your thoughts on including high quality eggs in the healing phase?

Thanks for posting this. I am excited to listen through! I have had intermittent and various digestive issues since taking anti-fungals in 2015. I do not know what triggered it otherwise (maybe cumulative factors). I have had mostly upper GI issues + constipation (diarrhea - & Severe gas pain was 2016 only). But I am realizing that what I did know is not being applied properly if its not helping me. I started cabbage juice due to GERD & chronic stomach pain and I feel SO much better after 10 days. (Thanks to your videos). Its def debloated my lower GI, too. I know that I have to be careful for the long run, so here begins my research. P.s. Exercise (especially engaging and then stretching diaphragm) has been helpful. My core/posture was weak which def contributed to indigestion.

Kenny - Thank you so much for this long lost Boot Camp ep. 10! I was quite excited when I saw the notification come though. I've been following much of your protocol for a few months now in preparation to ween off the meds for my UC. I've also looked at some of the things Mike (HYGG) and Jordan Rubin have put out there. You guys overlap in many areas, but I was curious about your stance on potatoes and white rice regarding their starch content. I know Jordan Rubin is very against starches. In your view, are the prebiotic properties in the potatoes and rice outweighing the issues with starch? I ask because I've really been enjoying the potatoes and rice. I'm looking for a few more food options and was wondering what your thoughts were on beans (specifically kidney, lima, chickpeas, and green peas), steel cut oats, and asparagus. I've read they all have great prebiotic qualities, but are they okay for those for those with IBD? Thank you again for all of these videos. Your channel is the first place I turned when I decided to heal my UC though diet. They've been so helpful.

You provide so much helpful theoretic and practical information, thank you from Germany!!! Is there any reason why you do not include eggs as an easily digestiable source of animal protein?

Thank you for another helpful video Kenny, legend! Funnily enough I've just cooked some Turmeric Rice for the first time before watching this video, one thing I read about was cooling the rice in the fridge & re-heating before eating to increase resistant starch content, which it was said to be beneficial for UC. Do you have any experience or knowledge on this subject? Cheers

Hi Kenny, thank you for posting another terrific video. Extremely informative, useful and honest. I am wondering if a future video topic for you may look into how specific food types should be prioritised when trying to heal from IBD based on their specific molecular properties. For example, there are a number of studies which show the consumption of walnuts reduce colon cancer recurrence by ~40%, this is largely down to the production of butyrate. Additionally, compounds called elligitanins found in berries and pomegranate have been found to be highly bioactive against inflammation. This is specifically useful for IBD as these molecules are poorly absorbed meaning they act primarily in the GI tract. Let me know your thoughts on this and I’m happy to point you in the direction of a number of studies if of interest. Thanks, David

Hi Kenny. Thank you for what you’ve done with this channel. Very selfless of you. It is appreciated! I’m wondering what is considered high quality meat? What should one look for/avoid?

Excellent! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! I have a question though. Store bought kefir will that be sufficient? I am unsure of the pastuisation(?) process of such a milk. Thanks again!!

Amazing! 👏🏼 you are helping me so much right now. I’m going to be trying kefir. My naturopathic doctor only put me on probiotic supplements and they just aren’t doing enough.

I listen to this when going to sleep regularly. Gives me hope and positive info while I dream about a healthy gut. Helps me relax and drift off. I’ve got a long way to go. Progress is slow

Did you know your videos don’t come up when I search on KZfaq “healing ulcerative colitis” or any other variation? They used to. I wonder why they don’t now. Anyway, thanks for all the info. I’m dealing with something a little different but your suggestions have helped!

Kenny do you recommend eliminating smoothies in a flare? And have you done any research on Chinese herbs that stopped bleeding? My natural path doctor recommends that I try one.

Great videos man! Puts many things into perspective for suffered and people seeking better health. Only thing that concerns me is the food combination. Milk should be consumed alone and not mixed with other foods. Starches/carbs and protein shouldn’t be mixed in a meal either.

Your diet examples are very much appreciated

Thanks for the shout outs Kenny! Congrats on becoming a nutritionist! There are different types of fiber... some are like bark... and others are much much easier to digest. A lot of people think Im carnivore or keto but we have people try to bring back carbs into their diet as fast as possible. Usually in a week or 2. Fiber is funny because I think the soothing gel of flaxseeds is considering fiber and is very soothing to the gut even in the worst stages.

Hi Kenny, I got UC in 2018 and last year I tried your recommended diet, it worked for 2-3 months but then my symptoms returned and my health got more worse than before. I found some KZfaq videos of "carnivore diet" and started following it. haven't faced any issue after that. solid poop with no blood. and I feel more energetic now 🙂

Thank you for this. Very, very helpful. God bless you Kenny

Nobody explained like you 🙏🙏🙏 You are awesome

Have you ever made a list of approved foods and unapproved foods when flared up?

You are legendary💣💥

Thank you for this video ! Appreciate your work !

Congrats on your degree ! I’m also studying for my Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Therapy! Love the video 😃 I still cannot tolerate too much fibre 😢

I just fell over (matter over mind) when I saw your first video, because it was just like my way to recovery from having a active aggressive UC diagnosis in 2012, clean food from scratch, fresh produce fruits and veggies, purified water, probiotics, probiotics and hard training, and refusing to accept the disease, (mind over matter)

Thank you Kenny. Can’t wait to start my healing.

Please don’t stop making videos you give us so much hop

I just started my first smoothie . I only added 6 oz of Keifer just incase I might need to get non dairy . I’m excited for lunch and also for the appointment I made with you this Monday . Thank you

I was curious on what your thoughts are about the hypothesis that starchy carbohydrates (Like rice & potatoes) help feed pathogenic & inflammatory bacteria in the gut microbiome. I know many diets tailored to IBD focus on limiting the more complex polysaccharides and focus more on directly eating glucose and fructose from prebiotic fruits and vegetables.

Hey Kenny, do you make your kefir or do you buy it from the store. Thanks

Thanks Kenny for sharing this with us!

Good video. Questions and Considerations: 1. Food combining: eg, proteins with dairy, fruit with vegetables. Fruit should be consumed on an empty stomach, especially apples, before a meal, not after. Water should be drunk before meals, not after. 2. Kefir: not if you're dairy intolerant. What do you suggest as the/an alternative, eg. water for shakes, ? 3. Animal protein: organic. Must consider what the animal was eating, eg. grains, antibiotics 4. Coconut oil: what if you're allergic to nuts? What do you suggest as an alternative? 5. White rice: good for diarrhea, but what if the problem is blockage/constipation (Crohn's)? Do you then suggest brown rice?
