This book helped me gain control of my Crohn’s disease and stay off of my medication. It provided a step by step approach to healing and being more in tune with my gut.

I originally started reading this book due to the fact that both my daughters have Crohn’s disease -And as I read, I realized that this book is really beneficial for anyone that has ever had any tummy issues. I really liked how the book was broken up and that you can easily find a natural cure for any type of gastrointestinal distress by looking in the index. The hardbound book is now $300 on Amazon - for good reason. It is a book that I will keep in my library for the rest of my days.

This is a book most people hope they never have a reason to read. I found Jini Patel's website when one of my children experienced severe health problems and immediately read her books in hopes of finding healing.

We were able to heal my son at the bleeding stage using the common-sense methods in this book. Our primary care physician has been amazed and believes it is because we were proactive rather than waiting for the doctors to figure it out. The recent colonoscopy and biopsy are normal (6 months after hospital visit). There are no indicators of Crohn's, Colitis, or IBD type issues. We did not use any prescription medications, just the elemental diet along with probiotics, mucosa calm supplement and increased multivitamins (powder or liquid for better absorption). We did the liquid diet, then tapered back to a normal diet gradually, as recommended.

I do not usually endorse products or medical information, but after our experience would strongly encourage anybody with GI issue to read Jini's book and consider her common-sense approach to gut health. It is a tragedy that most healthcare providers are unaware of these methods or unable to share this information with patients.

Interesting book with interesting suggestions that I am unfortunately not in a position to try due to the complete blockage of my stomach due to crohns inflammation. I would certainly like to have tried these suggestions before submitting to surgery but since I am literally unable to eat or survive much longer without medical intervention I am forced to go with what the doctors suggest. I will be using Jini's suggestions after I am out of hospital and moving forward to keep crohns (hopefully) at bay.
