My son is 12 with colitis. Bin told to avoid red meat. And take medication for the rest of is life. Does anyone no any other methods

I can’t say for sure that a carnivore diet would heal your son but I can say that a carnivore diet healed my Crohn’s disease and it cured Bob’s ulcerative colitis.

It has healed many people in the carnivore community who had bowel issues. If it were my son I’d definitely put him on an all meat diet.

When I was going to a gastroenterologist for my Crohn’s the doctor had me on a no meat, nearly all grain diet and it was killing me. Once I switched over to a high fat, moderate protein diet (carnivore) my symptoms cleared up in 30 days. My gastroenterologist was mad at me when I told her I cured my Crohn’s with an all meat diet. lol.

No personal experience but I had read Geezy and Bob's experiences sometime back. My son's best friend has had colitis issues since he was about 12-13. He has been in and out of hospitals throughout middle and high school. He has been to the point where a colostomy bag was looking like the next step.

At 29 he recently had a really bad bout that left him hospitalized for a couple-three days. I didn't preach carnivore to him but I did tell him if he didn't do all out carnivore to cut out everything processed, fast foods, soft drinks, sugary type foods, eat mostly meat and do the fruits and vegetables sparingly.

He says he feels better after a month or so and hadn't had any issues. I think, one it takes time for it to work, but it also takes time to see if it is working as the issues can sort of come and go.

Good luck, Thoughts and prayers for your kid and your family. Tough deal for most anyone, even more so for a 12-year-old.

What is the medication?

I was told I could eat anything I wanted as long as I took the medication. I was prescribed Dipentum, a brand name for mesalamine. I started talking it around 2009-2010 and yes, it calmed my gut down and fixed my bowel issues. However, it also tanked my kidneys. I never got any bloodwork until 2019 and suddenly found out I have stage 4 CKD. So research the medication and possible side effects, and stay on top of your sons bloodlabs at least annually or more often.

I made a video about how I got rid of UC.

It started by giving up coffee, which was a trigger/irritant for me personally. I was able to get off meds but the biopsy done during my colonoscopy in 2021 or 2022 still tested positive for UC. But I started carnivore in May 2023 and when I had my last colonoscopy in the summer of 2024 the biopsy came back negative.

Why coffee?

It wasn't the caffeine as I still consume that. I was a pot a day drinker, so quantity could have been at play. Coffee is acidic and full of other compounds like polyphenols and other plant toxins that may have been irritating my already-senstive gut lining.

Just look up Kent carnivore on YouTube.

Remember this..... Dr's aren't curing but managing ( putting a bandaid) on the problem.

Unlike the stuff that is man made, red meat doesn't need to be dosed to each person.

Unless for some unforseen reason your child is allergic to red meat then what's the harm in giving them a proper diet 🤔

We need to take control and responsibility over our health and stop trusting whitecoats because of their misinformation education.
