		<description>Dear Tyler,
Please do not give up hope on your gut healing and your life. I created  Colitis Healing Program for patients just like you who are &quot;tired of feeling sick and tired&quot; as you say and tried everything to get well but nothing worked. By using my unique system of gut healing  (it took me 25 years to develop this program)  you will take back control of your life, you will heal your gut and you will eliminates pain and discomfort and you will start enjoying life full of sports and social gathering with friends like you used to before you got sick.
Here is the testimonial from one of my patients who experienced the effects of Colitis Healing Program (he also lives like you in UK)
Galina

&quot;After being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis 10 years ago and subsequently spending lots of time in hospitals and consultants rooms taking various medications, I was eager to find an alternative to managing this debilitating condition. Over the years, I learnt a lot, improved somewhat and was able to maintain a better level of health overall. However, I still required hospitalization for my symptoms at various intervals and at the least had 2-3 flare ups per year requiring prednisone and sometimes stronger drugs. It was two years ago that I came across your site and your program and immediately booked a consultation. Two years later I owe my health to you Galina and your program - I feel the best I&#039;ve felt ever, full of energy, at a healthy weight, confident for the future and stable in my health. Moreover, you have taught me so much that I know will allow me to stay healthy into the future and manage this condition well. After years I&#039;ve spent researching this condition and how to manage it and the countless hours, days, and months experimenting with different treatments, I made more progress under your program (and your care and guidance) than with anything else. Your knowledge is second to none, your manner comforting, and your advice and treatment plan spot on!

Thank you Galina!

		<description>Artificial sweeteners cannot be used by bacteria for nutrients any more than you can use them for nutrients. Consuming artificial sweeteners like sucralose (splenda) should decrease your bacterial load.  The sweetener sorbitol should be avoided in UC patients as it causes an osmotic diarrhea. 

The mechanism of natural on gut immunity is far more complex than any web documents will explain.  Some bacteria suppress the local immune response, some bacteria prime the immune system against their competitors.  One thing that is certain is that if you have a deficiency in natural gut bacteria (a major deficiency caused by taking antibiotics), you are at risk for invasion by non-friendly flora for complex reasons that go beyond simple competition - most notoriously clostridium diff.  UC patients should be leery of taking antibiotics courses because they could lead to a flare.</description>
