All these conditions, IBS- Colitis-UC-Crohn’s, are not diseases.  They are not syndromes you cannot “catch” them– they are not caused by stress, poor diet or nsaids. They are not auto-immune diseases, where the immune system just decides to attack us. Why would it decide to do that now only in the last 40 years or so.  Nobody had IBD’s before then! All of the above is such shallow thinking.

A quick note about genetics. You do not inherit IBD directly, let me explain. What some people do inherit is a tendency to a weakness in some bodily system—think diabetes.  Now those weaknesses, in most cases will lie dormant until some “stressor” influences them to become active. In the case of diabetes obesity and poor diet equals stress on the pancreas. In the case of any IBD, the stressor is the use of antibiotics that impacts the mucosal lining exposing the GI membrane wall to your digestive acids and fibrous foods  irritating and eroding the tissue causing symptoms like diarrhea. If left unattended this will eventually manifest with rectal bleeding and mucus in the stool. As for genetics, this explains why your neighbor takes antibiotics and at least initially seems no worse for the wear and as for you, you are in the bathroom all day.

Bottom line, your genetic weakness would have never shown up without the “stressor” antibiotics. Another example, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin. The aspirin can only irritate the GI tissue if it can make direct contact with it-which can only happen if you don’t have sufficient mucosal lining which can only happen if you bumped into something anti-bacterial– get it? INFLAMMATORY BOWEL (NOT) DISEASE (IBND) IS MANMADE! And guess what—it can be man “unmade.” Just “reverse engineer” it. That’s how I figured this out— followed the trail all the way back to the mammalian breast and the nursing process.  Don’t take my word for it -go out into the woods and talk to some squirrels or raccoons and ask if any of them have IBS ect. They will tell you- “hell no–that stuff is manmade! We don’t need any forest pharmacies– we are all breast fed!”
