I was first Diagnosed with Colitis in 2018, just after my grandmother had past away.  I was going through a life changing and stressful time, so it make sense that I would flare up. I had mild symptoms for 6 months, and then it go really bad, and so I get rushed to emergency! They made an appointment for me to meet with a doctor, and he said that I should get a colonoscopy. It was very scary, but I got through it.  It was right after I woke up from the anesthesia that he told me that I had Ulcerative colitis. All we were told was to eat junk food and we were given a scary pamphlet that basically said that I would be in pain for the rest of my life, would get cancer, and never have kids. Turns out those things are not true! I did not just have to be on the "Junk food only" diet, and I also think I will be able to have kids! I am now finally in remission after many hospital visits, and many painful months! -Gutsy Girly

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to be talking more about my health... I was in the ER a few weeks ago with 10/10 pain (that's really bad because I have a terribly high pain tolerance)  My iron was very low and I no longer found joy in food, which was making me sad.  Me and my mom made a decision to go off of the SCD diet, because it was what was best in that time for my mental health. I am still eating only whole foods, and staying away from most sugars.  I am making  conscientious choices with what I am eating but now I am much more happy and excited to wake up in the monring for breakfast.  This does not mean that I will stop blogging, it just means that the theme of the blog with move away from SCD and focus on some different things! So far so good! Thanks for reading and supporting me on my journey! -Gusty girly

Hi and welcome back to my blog! Isn't weight so confusing?  I have battled with being underweight my entire life. It was just how I was born.  for some reason, people really seem to hate bodies!?  If your overweight, people body shame you. If you are underweight, people body shame you. If you are the "normal" weight, people body shame you.  ( "'s because no one is the "normal weight" there is no such thing as the perfect anything) Why? Everybody is perfect the way they are. The way they were born. Even if nobody hates on us, we hate on ourselves.  Because I am underweight, people have said the rudest things to me like: "Where does all of your food go."  "Do you even eat?" "You look anorexic"  "You look like a toothpick"  "It must be nice to be so thin" "Your skinny, so I bet you never have to worry about what you eat."  (haha yeah right) "Your so un-Curvey." And many more hurtful thin...

Hi there everyone! I realize that recently, I have not been posting many new recipes or posts, but I have an explanation! I have been not feeling well ☹️ Don't worry, I will try to post more often once I am feeling better, but for now I am taking a bit of a break. I have been very nauseous, and faint, with hardly any energy, and pain in my stomach.  I am pretty sure that I am not flaring, but I will keep my fingers crossed.  I feel as though this time is stressful, which could definitely be elevating the situation, but I also feel that something deeper is definitely going on.  I have restarted on the SCD entry deit, and I am loving it so far. I have found that Apple cider popcicles and Jello really help with nausea, but that may just be me!  I have also been loving eating chicken soup, and I just introduced beef patties and eggs (hard boiled is what I am craving right now) and a small amount of avacado!  I hope to start feeling better soon. Just remember, that i...
