Rachael's Story: "Discovering JUVIA helped speed my recovery smoothly and tastily!"
"In my forties I developed Inflammatory Bowel Disease, had all the tests and investigations and was diagnosed with Proctitis. The symptoms made my day to day life super challenging and at times I wouldn't dare to leave the house unless I was going somewhere with a loo nearby. If I did risk it then I wouldn't dare to eat beforehand as this would make frequent loo trips even more urgent. I'd been quite well for most of my adulthood but in my early 20's had been diagnosed with IBS...
I ended up being hospitalised with pancreatitis and then seemed to recover quite well by being super careful with my food choices and natural medicine. I later trained and qualified as a homeopath and so when the IBD flared up I was confident it could be treated naturally and declined the prescription medications offered by the consultant. Progress was quite slow but encouraging. One of the biggest turnarounds resulted from a conversation with a colleague when she questioned whether I might be in need of some digestive enzyme support - information that was entirely new to me.
Discovering JUVIA helped speed my recovery smoothly and tastily! I now use it whenever I have a flare-up of symptoms and it helps me return to a happy equilibrium. I'm still careful to eat only the foods that I can tolerate and I now feel strong and healthy 95% of the time.
Thank you JUVIA - you made a big difference!"
