IBD - Inflammatory Bowel Disease... How I Plan To Heal Myself.

Firstly here is a breakdown of my dietary history:

• 20 years vegetarian     - dairy? every day, far too much.
• 3 year’s vegan             - bread? too much, i would crave it.
• 2 month’s raw vegan   - salad? every day, and each time it's different.

As it is early days i am still on my medication for ulcerative colitis, and i would love to be free of that as soon as i possibly can. I know how it was before the meds so I’m a bit wary, but i do have strong feelings that i can get to where i want to be.

These are the aims:

• To be medication free
• Pain/Discomfort free
• Energy Abundant
• Have an improved memory/concentration
• To help others do the same..

It is a work in progress, and I’m recording my progress here online. What i have found is my taste buds have changed. I crave things like carrots and houmous, or cucumbers, or leafy salads with tahini dressings.

I have to say it's a continual learning curve for me as i plan to improve and absorb everything in my path in this area, hopefully I can pass on some good information while I’m at it.

The most inspirational books I’ve read, and by far the best place to start  are these 2:

Paul Nison - Healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which is the book that made me think this was achievable. This set my goals in motion.

Dr. Robert O. Young - The pH Miracle which really goes in depth into what causes disease in the body and what you can do to reverse it

I’m half way through a 10 day cleanse at the minute. Having followed the guidelines in the books I am already seeing results. I’m going to blog again on Monday to record how the time went and what I experienced.
