Living with Ulcerative Colitis for Half a Lifetime
When Noah was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at just 19 years old, he couldn’t have imagined the lifelong impact it would have. Nearly two decades later, he’s turning 38—and the reality of living with inflammatory bowel disease has shaped almost every aspect of his daily life.
“If you have ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s, you know the impact on your life is astronomical,” Noah says. “You’re either not leaving the house, or if you are, you’re mapping out every bathroom on the way. You know exactly where you can stop to go. It really, really impacts your quality of life.”
But as Noah points out, it’s not just about the bathroom trips. “It’s the pain, the fatigue, the weakness, having to watch everything you eat—it’s everything,” he explains.
When Conventional Treatment Fell Short
Noah had always leaned toward naturopathic and holistic care, hoping to manage his symptoms naturally. But after years of cycling through flare-ups, he eventually began taking mesalamine, a standard anti-inflammatory medication used in IBD management.
Despite his efforts, things worsened.
“I had a colonoscopy two or three years ago that was really bad. They told me that my descending-colon colitis had turned into pancolitis—my entire colon. I was devastated.”
Doctors told him he would either need surgery or start biologic therapy, but neither option sat right with him. “We don’t know what the long-term side effects are or if you can ever stop taking them,” he says. “That just wasn’t a risk I was willing to take.”
So Noah made a decision: no surgery, no biologics—he’d find another way.
Discovering Evinature by Chance
Scrolling online one day, Noah came across an Evinature ad—something that felt, as he puts it, “meant to find me.”
“I’ve looked at a lot of natural remedies for colitis before. Some helped, but it was always temporary. What stood out with Evinature was that they had clinical studies right there on the website—real, peer-reviewed medical journal studies I could read.”
After reading the research, Noah took Evinature’s online assessment, which matched him to a CurQD® Protocol formulated specifically for active IBD symptoms.
“That didn’t surprise me,” he laughs. “I was in the middle of a flare-up, and my flares usually lasted months—sometimes years. Even while on mesalamine, nothing was changing.”
A Turning Point
Noah began the Red Protocol while still in a severe flare.
“After two and a half weeks, the urgency went away. By three and a half weeks, all of the symptoms were gone.”
He completed the protocol and, feeling great, stopped there—without moving to a maintenance level.
“That was February 2023. A year later, in February 2024, symptoms started coming back again. I took the quiz again, got matched to the Yellow Protocol this time, and after two weeks, all symptoms were gone again. It’s now almost June—and I’m still completely symptom-free.”
Seeing Results and Sharing Hope
Noah says what truly convinced him wasn’t just how he felt—it was what his next colonoscopy revealed.
“I had another colonoscopy about six months after the first protocol, and there was nothing—no trace of colitis in my colon. My doctor even moved me from yearly scopes to a three-year schedule. I was thrilled.”
And it’s not just his story that gives him hope.
“If you look online, you’ll see so many reviews from people having incredible success with it. It won’t work for everyone—I know that—but for the vast majority, it seems to make a real difference.”
A Message to Others Living with IBD
“If you’re newly diagnosed, or you’ve been struggling for a long time and haven’t tried this, I highly recommend checking it out. Take the quiz on their site, look at the studies, talk to your doctor. That’s what I did.”
Today, Noah says he finally feels like himself again—without the constant fear, pain, or urgency that once controlled his life.
“There are so few things in the IBD community that actually help most people. I just felt compelled to share because this has been life-changing for me.”
