Colitis & Me: A Story of Recovery

With thousands of us who are now well, thanks to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, bravo to Raman for telling his story! If you are sick and tired of the day in, day out struggle of living with inflammatory bowel disease, you owe it to yourself to read this exciting book of recovery.

Whew! This book brought back many memories. I was also diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's) in my late teenage years. Being sick has led me down many paths (alternative medicine, bad docs, etc) and caused years of mental anguish. Medication and diet changes have kept me fairly even the last few years. But hearing someone else's experience in detail has helped me let go of some bad memories. I also spent an entire day reading it cover to cover and walked away feeling hopeful . . . thank you

I'm not much for personal stories but this was a page turner. In addition, the veil is drawn back a bit further regarding the state of medicine in this country. The facts at the end were quite good--pulling from many sources to discuss the method the author used to get better--a method discussed in a Nov 11, 2002 Wall Street Journal health article.I'm re-working my fridge this weekend and getting my health back. Cheers!
