In 2019 I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis. I had the full gamut of digestive symptoms, and it was difficult to manage and very unpleasant. I was prescribed one medication which had no effect and then another which made the symptoms worse. Not knowing where else to turn, I spoke to Kate a few months later and she suggested that I eliminate inflammatory foods since my condition was inflammation-based. After a week or two I started to feel great, and eventually was able to reintroduce some of the old foods once my gut had healed a bit.
Kate advised me that fermented foods may also be helpful, and she also taught me various strategies to slow down my eating - it made such a difference to my digestion! I also had trouble sleeping at night, so Kate suggested I try meditation, especially since there is often a link with stress and digestive symptoms. I did this for many months and if I was experiencing this helped me to relax and sleep better. We’re now introducing probiotics and I have already felt the benefits.
