Colitis

My story is from just over the past year and a half, which started with having to have a colonoscopy done.  The result of that test was a diagnosis of Collagenous Colitis.  Which is the inflammation of the colon and large intestines.  As a result, I was an expert at knowing where all the bathrooms were, no matter where I went, or, I just didnt go out much.  The doctor gave me asocol for this condition, and acid reflux meds as needed.  All in all, sometimes it seemed to help, but mostly not.  I still had "flare-ups."  So the problem was not under control.  I missed 8 days of work from the last "flare-up," not being able to get far from the bathroom and along with that the discomfort.  And trying to get in touch with the doctor, who wasn't to be found, I had to resort to calling my family doctor who prescribed a course of two different antibiotics which was not good and made the condition worse, and then the next prescription was prednisone for ten days.  Which got me well enough to go back to work, but still wasn't feeling well from that med.  Tired of feeling sick and tired, a friend gave me a book to read, "The Maker's Diet," which after reading, prompted me to stop in and talk to Calvin and Paula.    After talking with them I felt for the first time there was a possibility I was going to get better.  They put me on Ultra InflmaX, which they said was going to make me better, which is something the doctors couldn't say about the medication they had prescribed me.  Yes, it was like a "miracle cure," it did help with no side effects like a prescription medication has.   IT MADE ME WELL.  And, because I had switched to a different gastro Doctor he had wanted to do another scope (I didn't tell the gastro doctor I had been to the Wellness Center).  And a year and a half later, and after the Ultra InflamX, the result of the second scope came back with no sign of inflammation!!!  No suprise to me, as I was already feeling better, thanks to Calvin and Paula.  Now, they are helping me to learn, which foods are not good for me.  I'll tell everyone i know how they have helped me and there are other answers to medical problems without having to take prescription medications.  Thank You Calvin and Paula.    -D.B.  July 2012
