At the age of nineteen, author Tracie Dalessandro was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and eventually Crohns disease. After years of trying to heal, Dalessandro realized the power of using diet in conjunction with traditional medicine to control her inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rather than allowing it to control her. Nutrition became the link between feeling sick and feeling well.
