Dr. Klein's Vegan Healing Diet

[Soul_Guy]

Has anybody tried David Klein's vegan healing diet?

He wrote a book called Self Healing Colitis & Crohn's where he advocates for this diet, and there are these guys on YouTube called HighCarbHealth who are heavily influenced by this book.

https://www.amazon.com/Self-Healing-Colitis-Crohns-4th/dp/0971752656/ref=sr_1_3?crid=PDDM6LB5BWX9&keywords=self+healing+colitis&qid=1660361894&sprefix=self+healing+colit%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-3

The basic idea is to do a temporary "healing" diet consisting of mainly fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies, along with a few steamed vegetables and starches (sweet potatoes, squashes, etc.) - he says that since some people with Colitis and Crohn's cannot properly digest fiber they have trouble eating vegetables - but if they are juiced then it's fine. So in the "healing" phase, it's a lot of juices and smoothies - and once the gut is allowed to heal your body will better be able to digest fiber, and you can gradually add in more types of food.

Here's what a typical day might look like in the healing phase diet:

 

Morning juice (apples, celery, lettuce)

Breakfast - fruit smoothie (bananas are highly recommended)

Lunch - fruit smoothie

Before dinner juice (carrots, celery, cucumber, lettuce)

Dinner - steamed vegetables (carrots, sweet potato, potato, pumpkin, squash)

 

I'm thinking of trying out this diet to help heal my gut. Has anybody here tried it?
