Re: Anyone tried Jordan Rubin's Guts and Glory Program?

I have been following the G&G program for nearly 6 weeks???
I am comfortably in phase 3....not following to a T partially due to finances...been out of work 2 months from first crohns flare...and couldn't find everything in the book, so using what I think are similar supplements...
I have to say that no western med professional gave me anything better to try....
I am still on prednisone...weaning 5mg per week from 40....this being my first week on 35...so I can't say for sure BUT I believe that the G&G program has been key for me getting my strength back, my stools are mostly free of blood and less frequent...and what would be clinically considered normal a lot of the time.
I lost 30 lbs from my flare in a very short period of time....was never so weak and sick in all my life....I was on morphine but have been completely off for 2 1/2 weeks. I still get what I call little episodes but they pass quickly....and are mostly relieved with a visit to the bathroom....if not just passing gas.... I forget what it was like before my first flare....my little episodes are likely what was normal for me before....I feel ultra aware and sensitive to my digestive system anymore....but I have to say...I am healing...I notice it with each day...
All I can say is read the book and follow the G&GP as BEST as you can and you will witness healing that I don't think just comes from prednisone or other drugs. Give yourself a chance to really HEAL and allow you body to do it's job.
About the yogurt....I tried REdwood HIlls and I'm sure it's fine....
Don't worry about the gas from BRasco broth....get the toxins out...notice how your gas becomes less foul...you are healing...
my energy level in stage 1 was very low, but grew stronger!
My symptoms improved as the book said it would...but everyone is different...stay on a stage til you match what the book says...
Have faith in your bodies ability to heal with your help and the G&GP....I AM A BELIEVER...and I plan to follow it as they suggest...for 6-12 mos in stage 3.......The Best I Can....
Good Luck Tweet
