to align with some of the things that people report clinically on a carnivore diet like remission of inflammatory bowel disease which is obviously of interest to me so since that point in time i've been delving into it as a topic a little bit with respect to you know writing case series we had one on a carnivore diet for anorexia because that's obviously very controversial one for a carnivore diet for inflammatory bowel disease where we're like you know we did full medical histories we had lab reports colonoscopy reports

And we interviewed, I interviewed like 10 patients and to hear their stories, people saying like, you know, that they had had Crohn's or colitis for a couple of decades, been through a litany of immunosuppressants, been through surgeries. And this was the first thing that really like brought them back to life and gave them a new life. Like you can't ignore that. No.

especially when it's dozens of people. 10 were reported, but there are many more. And then you square that up with physiology that actually makes a lot of sense, like carnivore is usually keto, ketones in the gut reduce inflammation, higher ketone levels in the gut associated with lower IBD activity,

There's even literature showing how fiber elimination can have a therapeutic effect via changing called mucosporilium, I think, a pathobiont on the gut that can put pediatric Crohn's disease into remission. I didn't know before studying it, but actually fiber-free liquid diets are quite commonly prescribed for refractory pediatric.

And it's like 60 to 85% of cases respond. They don't teach you that in medical school because it's like, you know, I guess heresy against the beneficial effects of fiber. But say for that particular use case, I was seeing so many stories. And when I say stories, I do mean like with medical histories, lab reports, colonoscopy reports that are just overwhelming along with interesting physiology.

And it comes back to this question of, or the topic of absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Like nobody's done, the $3 to $5 million randomized control trial of a strict carnivore diet versus a vegan diet for IBD. I have my hypotheses about how it might turn out. I'd like to see it done.
