Summary of Transcript:
In this video, the speaker talks about nutrient deficiencies in people with irritable bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. The most common fault is iron due to bleeding and inflammation that prevents absorption. The second most common deficiency is vitamin D, which is needed for calcium absorption and to regenerate and repair the small intestine’s lining. B12 and folate deficiencies are common due to an altered gut microbiome. Finally, vitamin K1 and K2 deficiencies affect clotting and bone health. The speaker recommends getting these nutrients from real foods and supplements and encourages viewers to share their success stories on his website.

Common Nutrient Deficiencies in IBD: Explained
Introduction: The most common nutrient deficiency in IBD
In this video, Dr. Eric Berg discusses the most common nutrient deficiencies in irritable bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a condition that causes inflammation and an overreaction of the immune system in the gut, leading to nutrient absorption issues. The most common nutrient deficiencies in IBD are iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12/folate, and vitamins K1 and K2. Dr. Berg discusses why these nutrient deficiencies occur and how to replenish them.
What is IBD?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a condition that causes inflammation in the gut and affects the digestive tract. The two most common forms of IBD are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
#1 – Iron deficiency and IBD
Iron deficiency is a common nutrient deficiency among those with IBD. It occurs due to blood loss and decreased iron absorption caused by inflammation in the gut. 80% of those with IBD are iron deficient. Iron is essential for energy, and anemia can occur if iron drops too low. The best sources of iron are animal products like beef, organ meats, and spirulina. Dr. Berg advises getting iron from food sources rather than supplements, as it can be easy to build too much iron with accessories.
#2 – Vitamin D deficiency and IBD
70% of those with IBD have vitamin D deficiency. IBD-related inflammation blocks the absorption of dietary vitamin D, and factors like age, weight, skin tone, and location can also affect vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, small intestine lining repair, and reducing inflammation. Dr. Berg advises taking 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily for normal vitamin D levels.
#3 – Vitamin B12/folate deficiency and IBD
Gut inflammation caused by IBD can limit the ability to produce and absorb B vitamins like vitamin B12 and folate, leading to deficiencies. Low vitamin B12 and folate levels can cause fatigue, anemia, and other health issues. These vitamins come from healthy foods and gut microbes. Dr. Berg advises replenishing these nutrients by consuming a healthy diet with foods rich in these vitamins.
#4 – Vitamin K1 and K2 deficiency and IBD
Unhealthy guts can decrease vitamin K1 and K2 levels, essential for blood clotting and bone health. Vitamin K2 also helps keep calcium out of arteries and joints. Gut microbes produce these vitamins, and son healthy gut can lead to a deficiency. Dr. Berg advises replenishing these vitamins by consuming fermented foods like sauerkraut.

Conclusion
Those with IBD often experience nutrient deficiencies due to gut inflammation and absorption issues. The most common nutrient deficiencies in IBD are iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12/folate, and vitamins K1 and K2. It’s essential to replenish these nutrients to avoid health complications. Dr. Berg advises consuming a healthy diet with foods rich in these nutrients and taking supplements if necessary.

In these conditions, you have massive inflammation and an overreaction of the immune system. Gut inflammation reduces the absorption of nutrients.
The most common nutrient deficiencies in those with IBD are:
#1 – Iron deficiency
Iron deficiency occurs in those with IBD because of blood loss and decreased iron absorption due to inflammation. You can develop anemia if your iron drops too low. The best sources of iron are animal products (especially beef and organ meats) and spirulina. Always get your iron from the foods you eat, not supplements. It can be easy to build up too much iron with accessories. 80% of those with IBD are iron deficient.
#2 – Vitamin D deficiency
70% of those with IBD have vitamin D deficiency because IBD-related inflammation blocks the absorption of dietary vitamin D. Additionally, your age, weight, skin tone, and location can affect your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption, small intestine lining repair, and reducing inflammation. 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily is ideal for normal vitamin D levels.
#3 – Vitamin B12 and B9 (folate)
Vitamin B12 and B9 come from your healthy foods and gut microbes. When you have gut inflammation, your microbiome often lacks important bacteria. This can limit your ability to produce and absorb B vitamins. Low vitamin B12 and B9 can cause fatigue, anemia, and many other issues.
#4 – Vitamin K1 and K2
Your microbes also make vitamins K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 helps prevent bleeding by causing your blood to clot, and vitamin K2 supports the strength of your bones and helps keep calcium out of your arteries and joints. An unhealthy gut can decrease your levels of these two nutrients.
If you have IBD, make sure you replenish these nutrients.
