I was dealt a bad medical hand at the age of eighteen and had to 'shuffle the deck' in my favour. In time, I discovered actions that led to a life free of medication. It's highly unusual to hear of someone who has defeated severe Crohn's disease and wrote a book about their experience - not that one should brag about their bowel habits or any other ritual that involves a toilet. Years of trial and error led to six simple principles that apply to crushing Crohn's and reaching your goals. This book shares my journey with the reader, from symptoms, diagnosis, experimentation, to remission. It's time to turn the tide and wake up to our inflammatory world. A change is coming, and it all starts with what we put in our mouths.
