Love the podcast…wish I didn’t have UC.

J is truly a warrior who offers a wealth of information, delivered with candor and a sense of humor. I have had UC for decades and have learned more in the past 2 years than I have in all in the previous years combined. I find it to be a refreshing, unique approach. Priceless!

J India does a great job sharing and uncut version of what it is like to have UC. I have learned a ton. Thanks!!

Great resource for those with ulcerative colitis and is a great support when going through a flare

So glad I found J’s podcast . Love the topics, guests and of course J’s humor , real transparency and support💕

J India’s wry humor, exquisitely brutal honesty and vulnerability are displayed openly as she navigates the seas of ulcerative colitis. Following a holistic approach, albeit with eyes askance at western medicine, her insights and gut intuition (pun intended) offer a landline for fellow sufferers and survivors of UC.

I’m new to this podcast and I love your real, raw approach! You are amazing and I am so happy to walk along side of you in your healing journey! UC is definitely not a pretty topic, but your approach is fantastic 😁 I wish you and all of your listeners a “green heart day!” 💚 Blessing & Good Health, Jessica

I found this podcast after my sister suggested I look for something to listen to about UC and dealing with it. The episode have been very helpful to feel connected to other people dealing with the similar s!;t.

I was searching for a UC support and learning podcast and hit the jackpot here. I also have UC and my current flare started the same time as J’s so it’s interesting to follow and compare journeys. I’m also into both western and natural medicine and really appreciate her honest assessment and embrace of both.

I never imagined that when I typed “Ulcerative Colitis” into the search bar of my podcast app, that I would find something as relatable, and openly honest as this. All I expected to find were podcasts that had maybe an episode or two about the science and medicine. I would have appreciated them, but finding THIS podcast was a welcomed surprise. It’s the podcast I did not know I was looking for. Having been recently diagnosed in July after an awful first flare, I had been researching like crazy. I am also an avid podcast fan and when it occurred to me that there might be a podcast about this issue, I went in search of, and here I am. I am astounded that the post dates of the podcasts align so closely with the weeks and months I was experiencing my horrible flare. All of the pain, long nights, incapacitated hours spent. We all have our own journey, and my story is different of course, but the physical pain and awful symptoms are so similar. So grateful I found this podcast when I did. I hope it helps many people. Most appreciative of the definitions, the descriptions of various treatments and tests, and the details on both holistic and traditional scientific/medical treatments. Thank you, J India, for sharing your story in such a public forum in the hopes of reaching and helping us all.

Great podcast! So thankful i found it!

Diagnosed in 2017…I didn’t know what to expect. Just what I googled and what the Dr told me. This is a finally found and welcomed podcast …..,down to Earth podcast by a real down to Earth human. Thank you.

I haven’t had an official diagnosis, but I have the signs and symptoms of UC. I am a self employed, 55 year old male, divorced, raising two kids in to emotionally healthy adults. I have managed my symptoms primarily with the carnivore diet. By the way, Shawn Baker’s medical license was reinstated February 2019. I always thought that dairy didn’t agree with me. However, I feel great consuming raw: kefir, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, whey. I was strict carnivore for three consecutive weeks and there was no blood in my stool. However, I was sleeping terribly. I think the lack of exogenous carbohydrates was causing cortisol to release at night. I recently reintroduced berries, bananas, and honey. I am now sleeping better (not perfect), and there is minimal blood in my stool. Thank you again for helping us 🙏🏾❤️.

*Long review warning* I wish I had found episode 6 before my colonoscopy because it was scheduled on a Monday LOL. Over a month ago I had my very first colonoscopy appointment at an outpatient facility. Everything had been set up and ready to go two months prior to my big day. So I prepped, was hungry, dehydrated and all. As I checked in, the busy but kind receptionist told me that I was not on file to be in that day, or at all, and that my insurance was out of range for that particular facility. She told me that it would be around 7K to preform the colonoscopy without coverage. An absolute nightmare. I guess the doctor had been trying to contact me on the Thursday prior to my appointment, but I did not see it. Mind you I am a 20 year old student, and dog mom. Between work and school I am full time BUSY and did not know they were trying to reach me at the last minute. I nearly cried in the office, I told the receptionist “I cannot do this any longer, I already prepped, I need someone, anyone to see me today.” My only option for that day was to be seen at my local hospital IF they had an opening for me, and IF anaesthesia would be covered in my insurance. I sat in the outpatient facility with my father back and fourth on phone calls between my hospital, and our insurance for 3 hours until they assured me that I could be taken in at the end of the day. So the Monday appointment that was supposed to happen at 12 pm, didn’t happen until 6 pm. It was horrendous. Although, I am extremely grateful to the doctors who squeezed me in, and were extremely patient/accommodating with me despite the crazy day I had, and the amount of people they had to do before me. Nonetheless, I got my diagnosis of UC, after 12 years of symptoms. And that’s how I found you. I am so grateful to you for being so raw and vulnerable about your story. It has been validating, relatable and truly made me think outside of the box when it comes to the origin of my IBD. I have had severe OCD and anxiety since I was a little girl— I was in a home where my parents fought tumultuously until they eventually got divorced. The child in me carried her sadness, trauma, her rumination and bad memories in her gut. I remember nights of my parents fighting where I would wake up and RUN to the toilet which eventually turned into flaring and bleeding. My journey has just begun, I have finally started to prioritize my mental and physical well-being, and I have a long way ahead. I resonate with your story, and the hopelessness you felt for so long. It spoke to my inner child who wasn’t validated, or taken seriously. Thank you SO much for sharing your story with us, it touched me and so many other people, I have been sharing this podcast with my UC friends and I hope you know how much of a difference you are making on this topic.

This show has been such an inspiration for someone like me that deals with UC. It’s hard to think that someone else out there understands. After listening to this podcast it has seriously opened up a tunnel at the end of the dark road. I can’t thank J India enough for all that she is doing!

Love how this podcast details ulcerative colitis, so I don’t feel alone. The audio is exceptional as is the host’s voice. Thank you for your bravery and honesty!

Amazing podcast. The best I have found on Ulcerative Colitis. Thank you so much.
