If you have read my blog post “Chaga medicinal mushrooms for Crohn’s disease and colitis”, you already know the numerous benefits of chaga mushrooms!
My doctor first told me about this secret weapon and its benefits for ulcerative colitis (which I was suffering from) during one of my doctor’s visits. He mentioned that new studies have shown that it can induce remission in UC patients and help cure other IBD/bowel diseases. It was a game changer for me and I’m so excited to share my experience with you!
What are some of the benefits of Chaga?

If you are interested in learning more about Chaga, I highly recommend reading my blog post! In it, I discuss what exactly chaga is, its numerous health benefits (did I mention it does wonders for the immune system?), and the different ways to consume it. Personally, I like to use it to make tea, but if you have a sweet tooth, you will LOVE this recipe created by Jini: Manuka Chaga Chocolate Goddess Discs.

Thank you for being here with me today, and as always – happy recovery and remember to always listen to your gut!
**Always consult your doctor, naturopath or healthcare professional before starting any new dietary supplement. Medications that slow blood clotting (anticoagulants/antiplatelets) may interact with chaga. Taking chaga with medications that also slow blood clotting may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. Chaga mushrooms can also lower blood sugar, which can be dangerous for people taking insulin or other blood sugar-lowering medications.
