In 2016 I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I knew very little about the disease and was confident in the medics suggestion that it could be controlled by medication. After a round of steroids and Asacol, it subsided for 12 months. My second flare-up was much worse and I continued to flare up every 6 months with my medication being increased each time. Eventually, I was put on Remicade and then Entivio. My antibodies rejected the Entivio and by December 2019, I ended up in the hospital. At this stage, I was passing a lot of blood and needing the toilet 40+ times. They couldn’t complete that colonoscopy due to the inflammation, even with morphine.

I was advised by the Gastro specialist that I would have no choice but to remove most of my colon and have a colostomy bag put into my body. I asked the specialist nurse if diet would help and she said absolutely not. The best thing I could do was go home and eat as much meat as possible to make me strong enough for surgery. She also suggested I have irreversible surgery because there was no coming back with my health. You can imagine how frustrated this made me feel. I knew there were other options and I was adamant I would exhaust trying these before I gave into surgery and life-changing surgery at that.

While in hospital I revisited the Whole Food Plant-based Diet (I had attempted trying this in July without understanding it fully and I failed) and watched all of the HCH testimonials that I could fit in. I decided to take the plunge and contacted HCH in January to start the programme. In the meantime, I had worked with a well known Bioenergy specialist who definitely helped bridge the gap. I began on my healing through diet, exercise, hydrating correctly, sleeping correctly and looking at all the positivities in life. After speaking with both Shamiz and Shukul, I realised that this could have a really successful outcome for me if I was fully committed.

Within a few weeks of the programme, I could already see huge improvements. I had two detoxes - the first one was easy and I thought that I was healed. The second one hit and removed all the toxins in the body that had built up over the years through food and medication. When I got out the other side of the second detox, I felt like I was running towards the finish line. Everything improved. My body started to rebuild itself by putting on healthy weight again, I had more energy than I ever had in my life before and I was only using the toilet 2/3 times a day with no urgency or symptoms of UC. I am now feeling better than I have ever felt in all my years.

I am so grateful to High Carb Health that they worked with me in reversing UC and have given me a better life than I ever had, even before the diagnosis. I now look forward to living a healthy and happy life where I can do all the normal things that we all take for granted until we become ill. Most of all, I am free of medication and all of the horrible side effects that come with it.
