I have a pituitary brain tumour and various other illnesses, not to mention IBS. I&#8217;ve tried so many different health trends over the years\u2014you name it! I have lost count of how many. In fact, I had given up because I hadn\u2019t found something that worked for me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Until recently, when my daughter sent me Dr Megan Rossi&#8217;s books, well&#8230; what can I say? I feel transformed in only a few months.<\/strong> I have made lots of recipes from the books and The Gut Health Doctor website. I have made kefir, sauerkraut, kombucha, etc.; they are surprisingly easy to make. I don\u2019t suffer nearly as much with tummy issues as I used to. I&#8217;ve even lost a few pounds and I&#8217;m thrilled to bits.<\/p>\n<p>My partner, Steve, has had his gallbladder out and has still had problems with indigestion and acid reflux. <strong>I convinced him to try kefir. He thinks it\u2019s amazing.<\/strong> I can&#8217;t believe he eats it on a regular basis; he&#8217;s a Yorkshireman who is more comfortable with a cheese sarnie and is so sceptical about these things! He&#8217;s even taken milk kefir grains to the pub for his friends to try. I have promised scobys to my neighbours too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I tell everyone about Dr Megan. Rossi&#8217;s books. I won\u2019t lend mine out, though. I use them too often!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much. Truly.
