Episode notes
Omega-3s End Inflammation Signals
- Omega-3s are essential pro-resolving signals that help turn inflammation off and stabilize cell membranes.
- Malabsorption, low intake and congested bile/liver raise demand and cause omega-3 deficiency in IBD.
Pick Low-Oxidation Fish Oil And Aid Bile
- Take high-quality fish oil with low TOTOX (ideally <10) or use sardines, anchovies, or cod liver oil.
- Improve bile flow (e.g., ox bile, TUDCA) if absorption is poor before blaming supplements.
Restore Magnesium With Bioavailable Forms
- Use absorbable magnesium forms like glycinate, malate, or threonate rather than citrate if you have GI issues.
- Supplement short-term at therapeutic doses (600–1200 mg) and consider Epsom soaks as adjunctive absorption.
