Jini Patel Thompson

In 1989, young Jini Patel Thompson was weak, malnourished, and wracked with pain from widespread Crohn's disease. Skeletally thin, she was unable to eat almost anything without suffering intestinal bleeding, pain, and cramping. Despite their best efforts, the medical profession was unable to help her. Jini had been taking 13 pills a day for over 3 years, and her gastroenterolgist told her that she would never be able to work, have children, or live a normal life.

After years of feeling tortured by inflammatory bowel disease, she literally decided to heal herself, or to die trying. Refusing surgery, she began a seven-year mission researching and experimenting with home remedies and natural treatments for gastrointestinal illness.

Jini came from a family of doctors and pharmacists, and was taught to look at things using the scientific method. So when she began exploring natural healing for her inflammatory bowel disease, she conducted multiple controlled trials to determine what worked and what didn't, eventually developing tried-and-tested methods to successfully deal with each phase of her intestinal disease.

After healing herself (she has now been 100% drug and surgery-free for over 25 years), she made her healing methods available to other people with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and SIBO. She published her first book, Listen To Your Gut, in 2000. It is now an international bestseller, sold in 80 different countries worldwide, and Jini Patel Thompson has become an internationally recognized expert on natural healing for digestive diseases. Her health articles have been published in magazines and journals in Canada, the U.S., U.K., and Australia. Jini has appeared on numerous TV, podcast, and radio shows throughout the U.S., giving people hope and guidance for healing their digestive disease using entirely natural methods.

Even if you have tried every bowel and digestive disease treatment available without success, don't give up hope – Jini's natural remedies have helped tens of thousands of people with IBS, SIBO, IBD, diverticulitis, chronic constipation, gut infection, strictures, fissures and hemorrhoids worldwide.

Jini's other books include Listen To Your Colon: The Complete Natural Healing Guide for Constipation, Listen To Your IBS: Your Complete Natural Healing Guide, The IBD Remission Diet, and the Jini's Natural Healing Guide series on common gastrointestinal problems including gut infection, hemorrhoids, pelvic pain, anal stenosis, intestinal and rectal strictures, anal spasm and rectal prolapse. 

Jini has also released a DVD, Baby Fart Aerobics: and Other Natural Treatments for Colicky Babies, and the Murray the Shark series of educational and entertaining children's stories on CDs. 

As well, Jini has formulated a number of top quality products for Imix Nutrition; specifically for people with sensitive gastrointestinal systems, chronic or autoimmune illness, or a digestive disease, including the Absorb Plus elemental diet shake, MucosaCalm, ColonEaze, MultiAbsorb and the QuikPlus line of atom-sized ionic minerals. 

Jini's passion is see people go from being ill to being disease-free, vibrant and energetic. She continues to research and write about natural remedies and treatments for a variety of gastrointestinal and other disorders, both on her listentoyourgut.com website and in her books and eBooks. 

"Listen To Your Gut (LTYG) encapsulates my mission and my passion – the way I live my own life, what I teach my three kids, and what I want every reader of my books to learn. When we are strong, healthy and vibrant, life becomes the wonderful adventure it is supposed to be. We are here to help you to heal yourself, and move beyond just surviving and coping into enjoying the passion and vibrancy of your full potential." - Jini Patel Thompson
