Just got back from the gastroenteritis yesterday and I have a colitis. He gave me some pednesoline and another medicine.
While I was at the pharmacy the pharmacist told me about non gmo food. She gave me some examples of food with gmo in it but, I was wondering if it’s the same thing as Leto or low carb? Would I have to buy the food labeled “organic” to be on a non gmo diet? Been trying to read online about this. If there is a possibility of reversing this problem then I’m all about it. Any help would be appreciated. |

No non GMO means it is non genetically altered food (or also known as natural) and it is not necessarily noncarb food. Maybe ask your doctor or a dietitian for best type of meal plan or diet for colitis. A recent type of diet FODMAP diet is good for persons with IBS and Crohns. Good luck.

GMO- Genetically Modified Organism
i think tomatoes were the first hit on the list and started in the 80s, a majority of our food today has been genetically modified. scary concept. i topic i go a little crazy on. Fish are also now taking a hit i thing the latest i read were farmed Salmon, but the abstract was the risk of them being able to get loose, and the argument they already are.. ugh the FODMAP idea is a very good one, and elimination of the things that hurt your insides. i have IBS and ongoing things with my guts with upcoming tests which may set the stage for more drastic changes for me as well. Edit: Organic generally is non gmo, usually this means not treated with chemical fertilizers/pesticides. many containers you see today will have the non-gmo certified little pic on it, its quite tiny with a green check mark and a small orange butterfly. __________________ Im not crazy, my reality is just different than yours. |
