     My story is a long one, but I will try to keep it pretty short.
  
     Basically, I have been bed ridden for 3 years in horrific pain.  I went to the doctor with stomach pains and they put me through all these tests.  MRI, Cat-Scan, X-Rays, Endoscopy, Colonoscopy and Ultra Sounds.  I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.  But because of all these very invasive tests that they put my body through, I became bed ridden and much, much worse.  If I had not gone to the doctor and had all these tests done (which cost a fortune and killed my immune system even further) I would probably be better off today. 
 
     But this is my journey and I have learned so much about Gut Flora and how it effects every illness out there.  All illnesses are one, even though we give every illness different names, it has much to do with the inner eco system of our colon and stomach and the bacteria, virus, fungi, parasites, etc..living in harmony and balance. 
 
     So, I lost my job (of which I truly loved) and continued to get worse.  I got down to 80 lbs and I think I was dying.  I prayed and prayed and kept asking God to just take me, and get it over with, but he knows that I really do not want to die, I want to live!!!  I really do love life!!  I have an amazing husband who is my soul mate.  I am sure we have had many lives together already.  He has stayed by my side.  In this I am blessed and this is a Gift from God.  He did not leave me as most do with illnesses. 
 
     I found the GAPS diet for healing the gut around Mid-January. So I have been doing mostly bone broth soups, blended pasture eggs and grass fed meats, liver with the Cod Liver oil, coconut oil, grass fed butter,etc.  It has been 6 months of this and I have gained most of the weight back with a little muscle but I am still in horrific pain.  I heard about Fecal Transplants and started to research it extensively.  I really feel like I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, trying this method to restore harmony inside.  This is already getting too long.  I have no choice but to "Never Give Up" as my miracle could be right around the corner.  This is what I pray for extensively night and day.  God has a plan for me and all that have suffered like this. 
 
     Thank you all for any help you could give in this trying and painful time.  I never knew before how much pain the body and mind could endure, day in and day out without relief.  It truly is a test.  But my plan is to Trust in GOD, and to never, ever, ever, ever GIVE UP!!
Hugs & Blessings to you all, and any help you could give!
XOXO
