“Based on my meeting with you I have taken your advice on diet changes and I’ve noticed…changes in how I feel when it comes to the symptoms of my colitis…I have noticed wonderful results from the supplements that you recommended to me. They feel soothing on my insides and comforting.
I have taken your advice on eliminating gluten and dairy…still have traces here and there but I have GREATLY cut back. No more cold cereal. I start every morning with a fruit smoothie with my protein powder and oils, and milled flax seed. I snack on nuts and fruit. I keep a close watch on how much fiber I am getting so I do not upset my symptoms any worse. I also pay close attention to how foods affect me; if they make me tired I don’t eat them. If I feel good from them I add them more often. I have cut sugar out and that is actually the greatest change for me. I know that is does nothing positive for me, it make this disease worse, it will make me fat, and I hate the low I get so quickly after the high. I am eating to live, not living to eat.
Having Ulcerative Colitis has made me so thankful for every single day that I feel good, and it makes me pray harder on the days I don’t. I know that God is the ultimate Healer, but I also know that he has led me to the people that are making a positive effort to keep me well. Thank you for all you’ve done for me!” J.S.
