The carnivore diet may be helpful for individuals with colitis or Crohn's disease.

“what we see in the microbiome of carnivorous humans that I have seen in people in the community is that they have alpha diversity meaning and a variety of species in the gut that is better than most people on mixed diets”

“we surely don't see people getting inflammatory bowel disease we see the reverse there are case reports people with Crohn's disease ulcerative colitis resolving”

“yeah I think that that's totally possible there definitely are many anecdotes out there of people doing all sorts of elimination diets and having improvements in inflammatory bowel disease so I would I would strongly consider that I think it could be helpful”

“I've checked my alpha diversity a lot of people in the carnivore community these are anecdotes admittedly have checked alpha diversity and c3 robust alpha diversity”

“in myself and other people who have done testing of the microbiome or at least the diversity with like you biome or other longevity and stuff on a carnivore diet we see some pretty good diversity 85 to 95th percentile diversity scores”

“one of the things we do know anecdotally about carnivores in the community is that they they tend to have pretty high gut microbial diversity as we're measuring i mean 85th 90th percentile so like microbial diversity doesn't seem to be a problem and carnivores don't seem to be developing crohn's or ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease”
