Testimonial written by: Eva
Dear Robb,
In the summer of 2012 I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. My health had been declining for years and I had been trying all sorts of things to get healthier again, but nothing seemed to work.
After my diagnosis I bought a copy of your book The Paleo Solution and started the paleo diet immediately after reading it. A month and a half later I started on the GAPS protocol to help heal my colitis. I guess it helped, but it wasn’t enough to really get the UC in remission. The flares returned very regularly, a few weeks getting better and then getting worse again.
Because I was doing GAPS I was still eating dairy. Almost three months ago I decided to try the Autoimmune Protocol you wrote about, so I cut dairy and eggs from my diet. Those were the last two things because I already didn’t eat seeds/nuts/nightshades/etc.
After two days (TWO DAYS!!) my UC symptoms completely cleared and they haven’t returned in the following three months. I still have a long way to go because I had been ill for years, so it’s going to take me a while to get in shape again, but I’m working on it slowly but steadily 🙂
I wanted to thank you for helping me find my way back to health again. I’m truly optimistic that I now have found a lifestyle that will help me become healthy again. I can’t thank you enough!
Kind regards,
Eva

Thank you Debra! I’m still working on it, but I’ll get there. Good luck to you too!

Hi Robb! That letter from Eva certainly sounded inspiring and very optimistic. I have a friend who suffers from Colitis. Am no medical expert and am not sure whether we might be talking about the same condition. what I’ve done though is to simply call up this friend and referred him to your website blog. If Your work has been able to help Eva, why not my friend?
