She joined our community whilst suffering from a critical flare in the hospital and after running out of all medical resources, was about to have her colon removed.

In just 3 months, she was not only able to avoid the surgery and save her colon, but also was able to eliminate her symptoms and gain more information and tools than she had learnt in 15 years.

Due to her miraculous results, she discovered a passion to share her story with others who were suffering and in fear – to spread hope and awareness about the possibilities of using natural and functional health therapies; alongside the right strategy.

Kelly Thomas

COMMUNITY SUPPORT SPECIALIST

Kelly joined Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle after 14+ years of living with moderate-severe Crohn’s Disease. After undergoing two bowel resections and running out of traditional medicine options, she ventured into the naturopathic realm for healing results. With only temporary help as the outcome, she finally found the Shield Program to aid in finding her long-term, unique solution. At the end of a 3-year flare (which included extreme weight loss, limited eating, hospital visits, 12+ bowel movements a day, blood in the stool, sleepless nights, etc) the Shield Program gave her immense symptom relief and she is now living the life she never could have imagined was possible.

 

Due to her immense results, and passion/background in teaching others, she has joined the Crohn’s Colitis Lifestyle team as a Community Support Specialist. Her hope is to make others feel understood in their journey, educate people about their natural treatment options, and to walk alongside them as they uncover the possibilities for their health through holistic and functional medicine.
