My son Tom, now aged sixteen, had suffered from ulcerative colitis for almost three years.
I often looked for advice and help on the internet, once it became apparent that the gastroenterologist’s standard medicines, azothioprine and steroids, were not helping Tom.
We were actually told by the specialist that diet made no difference!!!
As I watched Tom grow taller and thinner by the month, we tried the specific carbohydrate diet. This did not help.
I next took him to a naturopath, who prescribed slippery elm, which worked well for three months, then back to square one he went.
Then I found the book, written by an American doctor, who himself had suffered from colitis, and had researched it, using all his scientific skills and understanding, until he found a solution.
It was simply to remove from the diet all sugar, fruit and milk.
This is an easy diet to shop and cook for. Basically, Tom can eat anything savoury. We never did buy junk food – he only eats freshly prepared meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, potatoes, rice, pasta, etc.
Within days, as it says in the book, Tom felt better. The damaged gut began to heal.
After three months, he was well enough to take some exams, and after spending three years in his room, misssing school and friends, he is now leading a normal life again!
It feels like a miracle, and it is now six months since he started the diet. We are all meticulous about Tom’s food. My daughter and I no longer eat sweets, cake or biscuits – well a little chocolate maybe, to help and support Tom in his recovery.
Friends and family prayed for him, but it still feels like a wonderful miracle.
Tom himself confessed to me that he thought he would never recover.

Dr. Gibbons is a genius. Nowhere else have I seen such concise information on Colitis. He has written everything you need to know about the condition and how various foods impact it. He tells which foods are the villians to avoid. He advises which foods are OK. My sister who is a dietitian thinks he’s brillant. Dr. Gibbons also mentions the “Colitis Conspiracy” in his summary. The doctor suffered from the condition himself and this is the reason he wrote this excellent book. Buy this book and get your illness under control!

This book has the answers you won’t hear many other places! Its not stress! It’s in the food you eat, it’s called “Fructose Intolerance”. Dr. Gibbons tells you what to do to regain a normal life. Along with the University of Iowa website support for DFI (dietary fructose intolerance), you will have the answers you need.

This book really worked for me. It’s small, and to the point, but as simple as it is, I couldn’t find the same information anywhere else!
It’s written by a doctor who had to deal with UC himself. The theory is still on the fringes, and you won’t hear about sugar intollerances and sugar, fructose problems anywhere. However, they are a key factor in getting well in a number of illnesses.
I would definitely recommend this book for a read and to try out if you are dealing with chronic illnesses from unexplained origins.. such as UC, CD etc.
God bless the author.
PS- I’ve noted some further info, not included in the book. To properly avoid ALL fructose foods, also add to the list (besides those in the book and all fruits); corn, corn syrup, beets, carrots, tomato, peas, eggplant, and sweet potato. I’ve also noticed it is helpful to just avoid any form of “glucose syrup”.
