Gut Feeling Shannon Eavenson

As she watched her fifteen-year-old son, Charlie, suffer the wracking agony of Crohn's disease, Shannon Eavenson just wanted to make the pain go away. Having experienced a serious gastrointestinal disorder herself, she hoped to spare Charlie a lifetime of medication and possibly surgery. Her family had a choice to make:

Should they go with established medical treatments or seek a less invasive approach?

Eavenson and her family chose the holistic path, leading them on a long journey through medical research into Crohn's disease, autoimmune disorders, and diet.

Eventually, Eavenson discovered the potent connection between gut health, diet, and lifestyle habits. Most importantly, she learned about the power of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to heal and even cure the gut in people with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and other intestinal disorders.

Along the way, Eavenson collected healthful recipes and food lists, learned which oils and herbs quieted inflammation, and compiled useful resources. Now she has gathered her hard-earned knowledge into an important pocket guide to holistic treatment of bowel diseases and ailments: Gut Feeling: Gut Healing.

Eavenson's book is both an empowering self-help guide to achieving gut health and an inspiring story of family love and support.
