The Microscopic Colitis Diet Book - Persky, Wayne

. .

Résumé :
This book describes the microscopic colitis diet, why so many people find it to be a safe and effective way to control the disease, and why the diet helps to restore long-term health for microscopic colitis patients. The microscopic colitis diet is a naturally safe way to control the disease with or without the use of any medications. In contrast with the temporary control offered by expensive medications alone, a properly selected, carefully followed diet will usually provide control of this disease for a lifetime, for most microscopic colitis patients, so that the side effects of medications can be avoided.

Biographie:
Wayne Persky was born, grew up, and currently lives in Central Texas. He is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, College of Engineering, with postgraduate studies in mechanical engineering, mathematics, and computer science. He has teaching experience in engineering, and business experience in farming and agribusiness. After the onset of severe digestive system and general health problems in the late 1990s, he went through extensive clinical testing, but the GI specialist failed to take biopsies during a colonoscopy exam, and even failed to test for celiac disease. Afterward, not surprisingly, he was told by his gastroenterologist that there was nothing wrong with him. Unable to find a medical solution, he was forced to use his research skills to discover innovative ways to resolve his health issues. After extensive study, he identified the likely source of the problem as food sensitivities. It took a year and a half of avoiding all traces of gluten, plus trial and error experimentation with other foods, and careful record-keeping, to track down all of the food issues. But once he eliminated all of them from his diet, he got his life back. He currently administrates an online microscopic colitis discussion and support forum, while continuing to research medical issues that are not adequately addressed by mainstream medicine. He is also the founder and president of the Microscopic Colitis Foundation.
