While most customers drop by James Gustason’s Max Muscle Sports Nutrition in Bountiful to find weight-loss and body-building boosters, Yvette Jones visits to help her son conquer Crohn’s disease.
Garrett Jones, now 17 and starting his senior year at Bountiful High School, has struggled with symptoms of the autoimmune disease for four years even though the official diagnosis did not come until early last year."We kept going to doctors" who blamed his intestinal troubles on parasites, Yvette Jones said. "Finally, I’d had enough. The kid looked like a walking skeleton — thin and white like a ghost."
The worried mom booked an appointment with a gastroenterologist. A subsequent colonoscopy detected the disease.
And from that point, Yvette Jones delved into various medical and homeopathic remedies that could assist her son in his day-to-day quest to rebound and thrive.
