myself… I’d still have it

What makes IBd so dizcult is that we |nd ourselves

following this diet and that diet, taking this med and

that med…. and we can do this for the rest of our lives

and never get to the point where we don’t have IBD.

However well-meaning these approaches may be

they fail for two reasons:

First, they generalize about IBD. They don’t recognise

how personal this illness is. Your IBD and mine are

similar, yes. But they’re not the same. You and I won’t

recover if all we get is the same, oy-the-shelf advice.

Second, they act as if IBD has a single cause. It

doesn’t. But if you only tackle one of its causes.. the

others are left in place to continue doing their

damage. We need to work at all three levels to get

well again.

The reason people have life-long miserable irritable

bowel syndrome is not because it’s ‘unresponsive’. It’s

because it’s being handled wrong.

I dealt with the illness by addressing its real,

underlying causes and, suddenly, my world changed.
