Just When Things Were Good, Here We Go Again
I don’t think I’m ready for “the” operation yet, and I really don’t wanna try remicade. In my head I feel like prednisones side effects are all I can deal with. Ive tried the others mentioned without pred. and they didn’t do squat but gave me acne and hairloss

"I received your book two days ago and have nearly finished it, I can't put it down! First of all I just want to say 'Thank you' for writing this funny and informative book. With all the books I have read (on IBD) and what I have read on the internet your book has been the only one which has made me feel 'normal', and that I wasn't dealing with this disease on my own. There is so many things I relate to in your book, only things which UC'ers would know about. Regarding your cook book, can't wait to put a few of your recipes to the test! " Narelle Canberra, Australia "I loved both books, am following the diet for my UC( veteran ucer from 1989 to present ) and feeling alot better on it. Very relatable and funny! Showed me I wasn't alone with my feelings" Nicole K. New Jersey USA "Thank you so much. I am here to tell you this is an excellent book. I now have a group that I can reach out to and ask questions. I was diagnosed In July 2012, and I had no earthly idea what to do, who to talk to for advice. I started searching to find answers and Thank God I found your website, book and cookbook. Information about how to handle UC is essential and you have taken the time to share your experiences (which made me smile and laugh) and some actions to take during flare ups. Again I thank you, keep up the excellent work. Thank you" Vernique Maryland USA "I enjoyed the book and I feel like it adds to my list of all the data I am collecting to formulate the best plan to attack this Colitis situation . It's one more step forward, and the book and the feedback with the follow up on emails has lead me into new paths that I would not have found elsewhere, so I am appreciative of this. Thanks" S. Griffiths Belleville Ontario Canada "My husband was diagnosed about 2 1/2 years ago and has been in a constant flareup since. None of the medicines worked, we weren't getting any help from the doctors, etc. Your book gave me insight into how he was feeling and helped me to understand more what he is going though. Thank you! and - I love how witty and honest you are about things! I laughed out loud several times... this book is great!" Anonymous Western New York USATo Order and Learn More: Click Here
