Regarding Crimson Knight's personal digression: Have you considered that you likely have food allergies? After decades of misdiagnoses of IBD, acute colitis, pre-Khrons, CUC, etc, and many many failed "medical" treatments, I was finally diagnosed correctly as having allergies to corn, dairy, soy, and wheat. After 1 year on a Paleo diet, simply eating only fresh fruits, meats, and selected non-cereal grain vegetables, (excluding the foods I was allergic to), the previous 2 decades of bleeding from the bowel and the narrowed rigid section of my bowel completely and permanently resolved.
Eating a paleo diet of fresh meats, sweet potatoes, yams, squash, and fruits, that approximately matches what we ate for the previous 3 million years, (no cereal grains, no legumes, no soy products, no beans, no peanuts, no potato, no dairy, no shrimp shellfish or lobster, no cane sugar, no grape sugar, (etc) and no tomato products), for just 4 days gives your system a chance to eliminate the antigens related to common food allergies. On the morning of the fifth day, you eat a big breakfast of a single food that you would like to add back into your diet. Rice is a good start. Eat nothing more until after 4:00 that afternoon, to create an isolated bolus of the food you are testing. Pay attention to any symptoms you have for the next 24 hours. Symptoms can include GI distress, rashes, urticaria, joint swelling, asthma, nasal rhinitis, coughing, etc. Pay special attention to any symptoms that happen in the middle of the night, when typical GI motility moves the bolus into the section of your GI tract with the most immune sites, the colon.
If you have any unusual symptoms during that day 5 test - then you are likely a likely allergic to that food, and you should exclude it from your diet for 2 - 3 months. If you have any unusual symptoms, then go back to eating an exclusive paleo diet for 4 more days to allow those antigens to leave your system. On that next day 5, eat a breakfast of the next food you think you would like to have back in your diet.
What's the tie in to the evolution of monkeys, chimps, and why we treat them as our analogue: It is a reasonable bet that during the last 3 - 5 million years before agriculture, the period when our immune system was formed, based on our trash heaps (including those found in cave floors), we and primates appear to have eaten very similar diets (except for proto-human cultures that developed near the sea, eating lots of mollusks and other easy to gather shell fish).
