Y our program has CURED my ulcerative colitis. I said CURED. Prior to beginning your program I had diarrhea that evolved slowly over a period of years from a few times a day to up to 15 times daily for close to a year. I had tried Pepto Bismol, Lomotil, Imodium AD, and then traditional doctors prescriptions, each of which worked somewhat initially, but then failed. I went to gastrointestinal specialists, did the colonoscopy thing, including removal of a polyp. Nothing worked. I was desperate as my life revolved around the toilet, and left me weak and tired. I searched the internet for answers.

I ran across your program on an internet search. I read your material that seemed to make sense, and decided to try it. Within a couple of WEEKS of the strict diet and faithfully taking the recommended supplements, my diarrhea was gone. (After YEARS of suffering.)

Taking your emailed advice, I continued on the entire program for three months, remaining diarrhea-free. I began eating a limited amount of gluten without a problem. After about 3 months of normal bowel movements I decided that prior to adding other foods on the restricted list, I would try going off the supplements to try to eliminate and isolate the possibility that the types of foods could only be eaten if the supplements were continued. I continued on the supplement-free with some gluten scenario for about a month, and then began ingesting small amounts of dairy, such as in the label ingredients on some prepared foods.

I was still symptom-free, so after about another month, I began eating all foods except peanuts, again with no problems. It is now about 8 months since I began the program, a good 6 months since my diarrhea stopped, 4 months since I stopped taking the supplements, and three months since I began a normal diet. I now eat whatever I want, including peanuts, and am COMPLETELY CURED of the ulcerative colitis. I gave my internist doctor a copy of your program. I dont know what use he has made of it, since I havent seen him for some time now.

D ear Dr. Dahlman,

I dont know how to thank you for your commitment to making a difference in peoples lives. Your research and program and how youre put everything together has changed my life in a week. I have never been able to eat solid food more than once a day and couldnt go to the bathroom even with once a day without using an aloe vera laxative.

It has been one week since Ive followed everything youve told me to do and the swelling and pain is gone and today for the first time in years, I had a normal, solid bowel movement without any pain. I am able to eat a little bit at breakfast and lunch along with the supplements you prescribed and I can see that I am beginning to tolerate them better each day.

I have called everyone I know that either treats patients with colitis and Crohns or people who are currently on medication for this. I am referring everyone I know to you, including people who have arthritis because your report is so thorough, its like a roadmap from the beginning of the problem to where we have all wound up.

They say each one of us should leave the world in a better place than we found it, I can certainly say that you have definitely done that by helping me and so many others. You are really making a difference in the world, God bless you Dr. Dahlman.

Sincerely,

Jan

J ust a note for your files:

2 years ago I read your IBS protocol because true to form I had tried a heck of a lot of things to help myself.I was advanced with holistic modalities but was becoming unable to travel even by car because of the unpredictable GI problems

I am now 90% predictable and that is good enough for me to travel againI was able to do this with your outlineI am an O blood type so simply eliminating DAIRY 100% and taking various supplements at the beginning of the protocol put me in good steed.

Because I DID NOT follow your outline to a T it took me 1 year to get hereI KNOW that had I done what you said exactly I would have had complete resolution in just a few months

I have gained 25lbs. That is a mixed blessing I suppose. However when I was younger, all I ever wanted to do was not LOOSE an ounce and I was usually scared that If I ate the wrong thing I would loose a few pounds by the next day and for an IBS kid that was FRIGHTNING!! WE know what that feels like and WE know what that means!!!!!!!!!! No one else does.

Sincerely,

H ello Dr. Dahlman,

I just wanted to thank you and all of your hard work on your research. Your diet has turned my life around. I can go out and not worry about having to find a bathroom or have constant pain in my side anymore. I still refer back to your information and am glad it is there.

Thank you,

Melanie
