Peter Cartwright, author, on coping with Crohn's and Colitis

'If you have colitis, the billions of bacteria that live in your gut play an important part in the continuation of your illness. There's growing evidence that by changing the bacteria (microflora) through the use of probiotics (products containing beneficial bacteria), it is possible to reduce symptoms and prolong periods of remission.'
Peter Cartwright, author of Coping Successfully with Ulcerative Colitis, and former assistant director of the National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease
