From severe irritable bowel disease misery…to three years without a single symptom!

Case study: Jessica Martin

I suffered painful, never-ending irritable bowel disease for 14 miserable years. 

There was barely a day when it didn’t cause me some sort of bloating, bleeding, discomfort or worry.   

Like so many sufferers of IBD, part of my life was built around avoiding the symptoms I could avoid… while struggling to cope with the ones I couldn’t.  

And like so many sufferers, after years of meds, diet plans and well-meaning advice – always ending in disappointment –  I believed I’d be ill for life. 

Happily, I was very wrong about that. Turns out that irritable bowel disease doesn’t have to be a life sentence, if you don’t want it to be. 

I’ve been in remission for 3 years now. And by ‘remission’ I mean I’ve not experienced a single symptom, not one flare-up. Not even a tummy grumble. My specialist confirms inflammation is non-existent and the ulcers are gone. 

I’ve been well for so long now I can’t remember what irritable bowel disease even feels like. The uncomfortable bowel movements, bloating, the ulcers I ended up with….are just a bad dream.

If you have irritable bowel disease in any form – including any version of Ulcerative Colitis or any of the 5 types of Crohn’s Disease  – then, believe me, I know your pain.  

Because whatever they call your IBD, the causes are the same and the effects on you and your life are lousy: 

Pain, cramps and bloating, bloody stools, multiple trips to the bathroom that never seem to get the job done… the anxiety when eating with friends or family. And rarely ever feeling quite right. 

I was often tired and my skin took a beating simply because I was anxious and under-nourished. 

After 10 years of failed remedies, off-the shelf diets and meds that sometimes made my illness worse… I went to my specialist who shook his head, smiled sympathetically, and told me,  

‘Your IBD is what we call non-responsive’. 

Which meant my illness was so severe that all known treatments would be ineffective for me.

Today I know that’s nonsense. My IBD did respond – magnificently. It’s just that it wasn’t my gastroenterologist’s treatment that it responded to – it was something much, much better. 

And if you currently suffer from IBD this is the key point. It’s not that the illness can’t be treated – it can.  

But it depends on how you’re treating it. Standard medications might give some relief… but the underlying illness itself doesn’t go away. 

Because these treatments aren’t designed to get rid of the illness. They simply try to suppress the symptoms. Underneath, we’re as ill as ever – and, often, getting gradually worse.

What makes IBd so difficult is that we find ourselves following this diet and that diet, taking this med and that med…. and we can do this for the rest of our lives and never get to the point where we don’t have IBD. 

However well-meaning these approaches may be they fail for two reasons: 

First, they generalize about IBD. They don’t recognise how personal this illness is. Your IBD and mine are similar, yes. But they’re not the same. You and I won’t recover if all we get is the same, off-the-shelf advice.  

Second, they act as if IBD has a single cause. It doesn’t. But if you only tackle one of its causes.. the others are left in place to continue doing their damage. We need to work at all three levels to get well again. 

The reason people have life-long miserable irritable bowel syndrome is not because it’s ‘unresponsive’. It’s because it’s being handled wrong.  

I dealt with the illness by addressing its real, underlying causes and, suddenly, my world changed. I didn’t need meds, doctor visits or any devices, apps or gizmos. 

If you’re prepared to take some simple measures, follow some clear guidance and give things a little time – a few weeks usually – you can not only uncover what is causing your version of IBD…  

but you can then know exactly how to minimize – or stop – those flare-ups from occurring in the first place.

What I found out – and what I then proved to myself with my own illness – is that tackling IBD boils down to very simple but very powerful principles.  

They seem so obvious. Yet they work so well. 

First, understand exactly what causes your own, personal version of IBD. What specifically in your life is making IBD happen? 

Second, knowing this means you can now give your inflamed, damaged digestive tract the space to fully repair itself. That repair phase is a huge step towards remission.

Finally, follow your newly discovered insights to make a plan for life that ensures IBD doesn’t happen to you again. At this stage, you’ve become an expert on your own IBD so can control it almost like an on/off switch. 

These principles started working for me in about 3 days. They changed my life in about 6 weeks.  

By uncovering exactly what was causing my own version of IBD in the first place meant I knew 100% what to do to ‘uncause’ it.  

Which means I knew how to give my gut time and space to repair and then restore itself to wellness.  

And I know what to do – and what not to do – to ensure I don’t experience the pain, anxiety and embarrassment of IBD ever again.

This isn’t some miracle remedy by the way. It’s been quietly working for some of the worst cases of IBD for three decades. It’s proven and involves no drugs, no strange procedures and no devices or apps. 

Here’s how it works.

I’d come across the work of Lyrae Willis some years ago on an internet forum. She’s a scientist – but also a life-long sufferer of the worst version of irritable bowel disease I’d ever heard of.  

I always believed I had it bad. I mean, mine’s bad enough that doctors say they can’t treat it. Yet Lyrae had next-level awful IBD. 

In chronic pain, malnourished to the point of semi-starvation (I mean, her ribs were showing…) – and either sensitive or allergic to just about anything the doctors gave her – she’d been told her next step – her only step – was a colostomy. 

That is, remove part of the colon, cut a hole in her stomach and feed the poop out of her body to a bag strapped to her side. 

IBD is never nice. But Lyrae’s IBD was so severe she couldn’t even take the immunosuppressive drugs doctors thought might reduce her symptoms.  

So relied totally on diet and stress relief to handle her illness. 

And this became her breakthrough.  

Lyrae’s end result was almost complete control over IBD, keeping it at bay for very long periods and quickly  pushing it back into remission if it reared its head.

When I read her story I realized her success with such severe irritable bowel disease gave me real hope. My own illness was severe – unresponsive, so far as my specialist was concerned.  

But if IBD on a near life-threatening scale could be treated then mine surely could be. 

And indeed it has been. Now at the 3-year mark without a single symptom I regard myself as an ex-sufferer.

As a scientist Lyrae was used to things making sense. There’s a cause-and-effect explanation for everything. If your car won’t start, if it snows out of season, if dinner is over-cooked… there is a reason. Something caused it. It doesn’t just happen. 

Why didn’t the same apply to irritable bowel disease? Why did that seem to have no cause? 

Why did doctors keep trying to suppress the illness – with limited or no success – only to conclude, ‘You’re stuck with it’?  Or, worse, surgical options? 

Driven by the overpowering desire to be well she began her own efforts to work out why she got ill in the first place. When you understand the causes of your IBD, you can, finally, do something dramatic about it. 

And, in the end, she found out.

Irritable bowel disease isn’t one illness – it’s a combination of three.  

Whether you have Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s or any other exotic version – there are three very distinctive strands to the IBD problem.  

Address these properly and the results can be staggering.

1. Food sensitivities, intolerances, allergies 

Certain foods ruin the digestive tract, causing inflammation, ulcers, swelling, tearing, blood and pain within the digestive tract. We go online for advice about what to eat less of, what to avoid altogether and what’s safe.  

But I quickly found that food reactions don’t work like that. They never have. You can’t handle them with an off-the-shelf list! 

No two people’s response to food is exactly the same. So generalized advice will never be quite right.  

Don’t under-estimate how serious this is. Advice on what to eat is contradictory – and some of it is just dangerous.  

For some sufferers even the healthiest of foods can scrape and scour our GI tract, inflaming and worsening the damaged areas, making it impossible for your body to ever repair them.  

I needed to know what those foods were so I could – temporarily – reduce or stop consuming them. Our body can’t fix the IBD problem while we’re unknowingly making it worse. 

If I hadn’t identified my own specific food triggers I’d still have IBD – and I’d have it for life.  

2. A compromised gut microbiome  

Your gut microbiome is the community of helpful, essential bacteria that live in our guts. Those helpful fellows produce vital hormones, they turn certain foods into the vitamins our bodies rely on. They regulate our immune system, metabolism and other body and brain processes. They don’t just keep us healthy, they keep us alive. 

They’re also delicate and they can be destroyed by not enough of the right food, too much of the wrong food – and the western world’s biggest killer: stress. 

Doctors are finally catching up with 20 years of scientific research that shows that, if you’re ill, it’s likely that your compromised gut microbiome is part of the cause.  

In fact, multiple studies have confirmed that people with IBD have a significantly different gut microbiome than  healthy people. Restoring and renewing our gut bacteria is turning out to be western medicine’s biggest health opportunity ever.  

3. Stress 

This one threw me a bit because I always thought I was a laid-back sort of person. Turns out I carried more stress than I knew. It’s funny, but it’s only when I got rid of it that I properly realized I even had it. I could really feel the difference. 

What are the common sources of stress for ordinary people? It’s the usual stuff: places you’ve got to be, your endless To Do list, relationship or health worries, lack of sleep, endless busy-ness… All of it provokes stress. 

How important is stress – even low-level stress – if you suffer from IBD? 

It’s life-changing.  

Scientists have long-known there’s a three-way connection between your brain, nervous system and GI tract (the gut, basically).  

This ‘brain-gut’ connection has major effects on IBD sufferers because stress activates the brain-gut axis – meaning when we feel stress in our brain, our gut feels it too.  

Which in turn means even mild, background stress either contributes to or directly causes a flare-up of IBD. 

No matter how well you handle your food sensitivities and intolerances… if there’s a level of ongoing stress in the background your gut will be constantly provoked and activated. Which means the chances of ever getting well are slim to none.

So we need to handle all of the above. It sounds like a lot but it turns out to be remarkably straightforward. 

Lyrae’s 30 years of working with IBD – and helping hundreds of sufferers become ex-sufferers – has produced a tried and tested method for treating our own illness, at home, without drugs or medications. 

The results of her work mean people like me and you can go years without so much as stomach gas. Let alone the rest of what comes with the illness.  

Here’s how she does it.

Lyrae’s program is a simple step-through process. She outlines what to do first then what to do next. You apply her guidance to your own illness and, gradually, it becomes clear what’s making you ill – and how to handle it.  

There’s no vagueness here. I just did as she said, took note of how my body was responding, adjusted accordingly and I’ve been symptom-free for three years. 

As you walk through the steps you automatically address the three strands that give us irritable bowel disease in the first place: 

Step 1. Treating inflammation and damage of the digestive tract caused by specific foods or ingredients 

• identify the specific foods and ingredients that create your illness – your personal ‘recipe’ for illness

   

• know how to temporarily reduce your trigger foods – and how to identify when you can safely eat them again

   

• learn how to give your digestive tract vital time and space to repair inflamed and ulcerated tissues

   

• create your personalized safe/unsafe ingredients lists so you’re never in doubt how to remain in great health

   

• uncover your personalized ‘go to’ if you get a flare-up and want it gone – quickly
  

Step 2. Undo damage to the friendly gut bacteria we rely on for our health 

• identify foods that are the best source of super bacteria – but which don’t inflame your stomach. Be especially aware that the best sources aren’t always what’s recommended online. For example, sauerkraut and kimchi may be the worst thing for your gut bacteria. We need to get this right, first time.

   

• learn which foods feed the good bacteria and starve the bad ones, giving you a gut brimming with effective, life-giving bacterial helpers

   

• understand how you can maintain a vibrant gut microbiome for life – helping it keep you healthy and energized in all areas
  

Step 3. Undoing the effects of low-level, ongoing stress on our digestive processes 

• understand how stress directly makes us ill – even when we don’t actually feel stressed

   

• practice simple, quick stress ‘resets’ that change mood, outlook, mindset in seconds or minutes. Fortunately you can forget the long, impractical meditation sessions we find for free online; Lyrae’s resets do the job quickly and simply as you go about your day
  

• nurture a sense of ease and wellbeing throughout even tense, hectic days
  

Lyrae addresses these three essential strands of IBD head-on so that, once dealt with, the causes of IBD no longer exist. And if the causes cease to exist… so does the illness.

On the day I received the program I was ill, passing blood, in quite a bit of pain – and becoming increasingly depressed. 

There’s a ‘Quick Start’ section in the program for when you’re in that situation. As the name suggests, if you’re feeling awful right now this is your quickest route to relief. I skipped everything else and went straight for that. 

I followed the guidance there… and settled my whole gut and digestive upset by the next day. That quick fix was temporary. But I felt so bad at the time that for that welcome relief alone I was very grateful.

Having got myself feeling human again I went to the 8-week plan. Note that very severe cases might take longer than 8 weeks to resolve. Less severe cases may well be in full remission in fewer weeks. I know of ‘average’ cases of IBD going into remission – and staying there – in 10 days. 

But, whatever the caveats, the short story for me was: this is the main section of her program. I got started and things felt better almost immediately.  

Some of that would have been psychological of course.  

I realized I was, for the first time in my life, going to get to grips with my IBD once and for all. And that lifted my spirits no end. 

Turns out I was right to feel optimistic about this. I started pinpointing the triggers and causes of my IBD in just a couple of days. I can’t tell you how encouraging that was for me. 

Lyrae’s guidance here is game-changing. I spent 14 years trying to get well and I’d never experienced anything like this. She works through the three strands of the disease – food sensitivities, gut microbiome and stress, carefully but thoroughly.  

After working for years with people who have all variations of IBD she’s able to share insights I’d never come across before.  

She pointed out many common pitfalls that I now knew how to avoid, gave me plenty of direct information that made an immediate difference – and which I could act on there and then to help my body repair and restore.

It took about 5 days to feel I had a fighting chance to beat this illness and another 10 to realise I was actually beating it.  

After 4 weeks I was pretty much an expert on my own irritable bowel disease.  

I wasn’t yet completely out of the woods. But my stomach was settled. Going to the toilet actually emptied my digestive tract – I felt light and empty. I’d stopped bleeding. Cramps were less intense – and far less frequent. 

Everything was improved, everything felt better. My confidence was sky-high.  

6 weeks into the program I honestly didn’t feel like I had an illness anymore. I went to see my specialist for a pre-scheduled appointment for an endoscopy. 

My baffled, dis-believing doctor confirmed what I already suspected: inflammation was now non-existent. It had simply disappeared.  

And while there were still signs of physical damage he saw there would be zero bleeding. Smaller ulcers had started to disappear. Everything was repairing. I was starting to look like new again.

I’ve gone from being kicked around by this illness to finally defeating it.  

Because I learned specifically what caused my own, personal IBD I was able to do the things that un-caused it.  

It’s a simple but very powerful difference when it comes to tackling irritable bowel disease. No generalized diets, no wandering around in the dark hoping to stumble on a remedy. Just a personalized plan to be rid of pain.  

I found my new normal. I got healthy, rediscovered my love of life, stopped even thinking about my gut and, really, I have become an ex-sufferer.  

I was never going to get this any other way than from following this program.

We already know some prescription drugs have unpleasant side-effects.  

But are there side effects of this program? You bet. 

Apart from putting my irritable bowel disease into a 3 years (and still counting) remission I feel great, my skin cleared, I sleep long and peacefully, I look like I’m healthy and I have energy – sometimes too much energy – all day long.  

My doctor suggests my lifestyle is directly protecting me against most inflammatory diseases – all the killers, including heart conditions, blood pressure, blood sugar disorders, obesity. You name it, he says I probably won’t suffer from it.  

But, day to day, I just love being healthy. I wouldn’t swap it for anything.

Lyrae’s program is based on solid scientific research. But it’s also tested, amended and proven by years of working with people like me and you. It’s fact-based, real-life and confirmed with actual sufferers. 

Irritable bowel disease – in all its forms – is a miserable illness. We all reach a point where continuing life with our IBD just isn’t feasible any more. 

If you’ve reached that point then this is how you can deal with it once and for all. 

You can have the same program I followed in about 90 seconds from now.

Remember that the medical industry doesn’t try to get rid of IBD. It doesn’t know how to. 

So it tries to suppress its worst symptoms instead. But that approach still leaves the illness intact… working in the background, ruining your digestive tract and storing up worse health problems for later.  

People like me have been able to uncover the real-world, actual cause of our illness. And knowing what causes our IBD means we know – finally – exactly how to control it. 

It’s not complicated. I’ve had zero IBD symptoms for three years. If you’d like to be able to say the same then Lyrae’s program is how we do it.  

Order it here and it’ll be with you in a minute and a half.

If I’d found this program earlier it would have saved me from years of drugs, meds, tests, experiments, doctor visits… and endless, frustrating suffering and disappointment. 

Still, given that IBD continues to degrade the gut, tearing and ulcerating its layers I’m glad I’ve potentially saved myself from surgery.  

I was especially scared of having to undergo a colostomy.  

This operation cuts away part of your colon and then diverts your stools out of your bowel, through an opening in the tummy and into a bag that you carry around with you. 

Can you imagine? 

I avoided that humiliation. See exactly how I – and hundreds of others – did it.
