A Heartfelt Thank You

"I wanted to take a moment to send a big thank you to Robin Yount and this community. Robin, your protocol and group truly saved me. A few days ago, I celebrated 2 years flare/infection free.

On December 1, 2021, I ended up in the ER expecting they were going to diagnose me with excessive gas. Instead, I was left with a diverticulitis diagnosis. I was in so much pain, but never did it occur to me I was dealing with diverticulitis. I knew about diverticulitis from my college studies and remember when we learned about it thinking, "Boy I hope I never have to deal with that!" Well, here I am, dealing with it.

But today I am thriving in ways I did not think possible. I now understand that a lifetime of trauma, stress, anxiety, and more recent grief is what contributed to developing this disease. I also struggled with various GI issues and have rheumatoid arthritis. When I left that hospital I felt so deeply depressed and hopeless. I know most of you in this group know exactly what I am talking about.


Finding Hope and Support

Before I found this group, I was unintentionally in Stage 1 for far too long. I did not know any better and developed such a fear of food. I was a member of many other diver groups, and they left me feeling even more helpless and scared. I found this group 12 days after my diagnosis and noticed how consistent the information was. I found myself drawn to the structure of Robin's protocol and really clung to the stories of success I was reading within the group.

It took me nearly 4 weeks to feel confident enough to try the stages for myself, and I am not going to lie, it was very challenging for me. I had smoldering diverticulitis, and my steps forward were very slow going. So very slow.

In February 2022, Robin offered a “Diverticulitis Rescue Yourself 30 Day Group Challenge,” and I was really curious about it. I had never tried a holistic or natural route before, so I will admit I was on the fence. I really was. I had always trusted what my medical professionals taught me, and so it was really hard to put my trust elsewhere. I had a lot of fear. The fact that surgery for this disease was on the table is so very real, and I knew that was something I wanted to avoid.


Life-Changing Results

So, with some encouragement from family, I signed up for Robin's challenge, and that is really when things started to turn around for me. I gave my all in the challenge and participated in everything Robin offered within the challenge. Robin was so supporting and encouraging along the way. She helped me identify patterns and triggers, and since I had smoldering diverticulitis, I adopted a low FODMAP diet for a short period of time and slowly built up to the high FODMAP foods. I tracked it all! Finally, I was starting to see some results and was beginning to move forward without so many setbacks.

At my blood draw back in November 2021, just a month before my diverticulitis infection, my inflammation markers were very high. My rheumatologist wanted to start me on immunosuppressant medication to control the inflammation. However, when I went in for labs in August 2022, all of my inflammation markers were normal! I was so happy, and I had discussed Robin's protocol with my doctor, and she was on board. She was impressed, and so was I. I had proof that the diet and lifestyle changes I had made were working.


Words of Encouragement

Overall it was a long, slow process for me, and I remember that after I was diagnosed, I felt so depressed over the fact that I would not get to celebrate like everyone else for Christmas and New Year’s. It took me many months to get where I am today, and I had to turn down so many invitations to food gatherings. But looking back now, it was so worth it. Hard yes, but worth it to be sitting here today in the best health I have ever been in.

I have all the tools that I need to manage this disease holistically and naturally. I have put myself in remission from rheumatoid arthritis. I was on 4 different daily medications for GERD/reflux and was also able to get off of every single one of them by using the protocol and supplements Robin recommends. It has been life-changing.


I seriously did not think I would ever get to this side of it, but here I am. It is possible, and believe me, I know how hard it can be to see that when everything seems so bleak. But hang in there, work the protocol, reach out for extra support if you need it.

I joined as a moderator earlier this year because I fully support this group and Robin's protocol. I know how much it has changed me and helped me, and I just want to share my story in hopes to inspire someone else.

As I sit here, reflecting, I cannot help but think back to those dark days. I am so glad that I am no longer back there and have a way forward. Thank you, Robin, and thank you to all of you who are part of this group. I learn something new every day from all of you!

Now, I am going to get back to my nice soothing Golden Milk. 😊
