Living with IBD

Recently I was diagnosed with IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). So this is my road to not recovery but to understanding and learning to accept that I will have to cope and work with this for the rest of my life. This is a blog of my view, opinions, recent news on IBD and helpful hints if I find any. You will find some of my blogs may be quite witty and they are not meant to offend anyone in anyway. My way of living life is basically laughter is the best medicine but I find I do have my days of totally “losing it” with tons of tears. When the doctors ask me how I am doing, when I jokingly reply “shitty” I literally mean it. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

What is up?

Well, this is what I have been doing. Trying to get healthy and mostly it is composed of healthy living as much as I can. That includes not just the best diet but ones without preservatives and additives. If you have to read ten million ingredients on a package it is too much. Put it back.

 Mostly, it is fresh fruits and vegetables and proteins like meats that I am allowed to have on my FODMAP diet for IBD. What is FODMAP? Go check it out on my other blog http://fodmapliving.blogspot.com/. 

 So my new venture over the past year is trying to refine that diet using as much natural and organic foods as I can. So what did I do? Picked up chicken farming. I have 4 chickens that give me organic eggs every day. 
Two of the chicklets: Buff Orpington and Ameraucana


The great news is you don't need that much room to care for a small flock of chickens and they offer you such wonderful gifts every day!
The gifts. The one on the top is a blue egg laid by my Ameraucana hen.
