YouTubeA fascinating interview showcasing relief from Ulcerative Colitis (UC) (diarrhea, blood in stools, cramping → medicines → multi-week episodes) through adoption of Whole Food Plant-Based guidelines. Brought up on meat, potatoes n beans. After diagnosis, removed processed foods and shifted to more yogurt; afraid of fruits and veggies - she was afraid the fiber would rip apart her already damaged guts! In 2015 angry with her sickness, angry with her body, angry that no diet had worked for her. In 2017, diagnosed with heart problems. Somebody pointed her to Dr Esselstyn's book on heart disease & WFPB. She realized that she had tried all diets except a plant-based diet. She jumped into it 100% immediately. Within 4 days, she felt no cramping due to GI issues. No flare up either; never a flare up since! Within 4 days - she says, this was "crazy, crazy!" Later, chest discomfort & shortness of breath - gone! Her heart beat skips vanished. No problems in bike riding or exercise. On no medications any more.
