Last summer I was advised that I needed surgery. Instead I went on the remission diet. After a week
the bloating and pain ended and after three weeks I was off all meds. At the end of the 6th week, I had gained back the ten pounds I had lost plus 5 more. For the past seven I was doing fine, then a week ago the bloating and discomfort returned. Today I am returning to the remission diet. However, I am a teacher and it is difficult to mix the drinks while working. (I was off during the summer, which made it easy the first time) I pre-mix them in the morning and bring it in a jug. However, the whole bathroom situation is a problem. I have to admit that this time I'm a bit down and thinking about going ahead with the surgery. Although the thought horrifies me. I'm going to try it for 3 weeks and hope for the best. Do many people have relapses? If so, what is the protocol?

I may have strayed off the diet on Valentine's day. For the most part, I've been eating tuna, salmon, rice, steamed carrots, and steamed squash. Also baked chicken and bananas. What is the WOO protocol? Yes, I take probiotics. Should I add raw milk?

Hi, Jim.

It's not uncommon to have the state of your health have dips and swings on your Healing Journey. Eventually, it does stabilize.

If your symptoms are fairly mild (a relative term...compared to severe diarrhea and colonic hemorrhaging, for instance), the easiest thing to do is to follow Jini's Wild Oregano Protocol and be careful of what you eat, getting enough rest, dealing with stress (EFT is great), etc. It is easier than following the full-scale IBD Remission Diet and will be effective.

The severe symptoms definitely call for the elemental diet.

It took me about 18 months of going back and forth on the various phases of Jini's Wild Oregano Protocol before I was able to successfully finish Phase Three without *any* symptoms coming back and subsequently scale back to a maintenance dose of probiotics, again with no recurrence of symptoms. I continue to take one Healthy Trinity capsule daily.

All the best,
Nicole

Hi,

I just wanted to drop a thought here, SURGERY, is not a solution, it is the beggining of a NEW problem, not to mention the procedure itself, stress, risks and complications-
So keep trying with Jini´s method with your entire gut, you couldn´t be in a better condition to fight back this ailment than without being "invaded" by the surgeons.
I hope this helps you not to think that surgery is somehow a "solution", it is not.
best regards
