Top Tips for A Better Sleep

Posted on August 1, 2014     2 Comments

I’ve gone through times over the last number of years when I have suffered from insomnia.  Whether it was because of grief over the death of a loved one, a broken heart, stress from exams or because of medication (in my case steroids), not getting sleep sucked!  It impacted not only my nights (frustration, agitation, […]

All the veggies for lunch today after a trip to the farmers market. There’s a bit of mackerel in there too. Did a blood test a couple of weeks ago and my inflammation was high. Don’t know if it’s the start of a crohn’s flare or if I had a bit of a bug. Either way I’m trying to load up on anti-inflammatory foods before getting retested so I get that inflammation down!!! All the colorful food for the antioxidants and mackerel for the omega 3’s. #eatarainbow🌈 #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #glutenfree #dairyfree #nutrition
Husbands birthday celebration with the family last night. Great night. Restaurant couldn’t have been nicer about accommodating my intolerances. Loads of options on the menu that could be made #glutenfree and #dairyfree. I opted for duck breast and all the veg - carrots, mange tout, asparagus and roasted beets. Jus on the side as always. So good 😊. #crohnsdisease #crohns #ibd #jerf #alltheveggies #dublin
Got to attend the trial weekend of the new @theivydublin for breakfast this morning. Great menu - loads of healthy dishes and #glutenfree and #dairyfree options. Staff were great at answering any questions I had about the menu too. I opted for the gluten free avocado toast with lime, coriander, pomegranate and toasted seeds (which they put on the side for me) and got poached eggs on the side. Can’t wait to go again to try the coconut yogurt with berries and chia and their green juice. #dublinrestaurants #healthybreakfast #healthydublin #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #nutritionist
Still thinking about this lunch yesterday. It’s not every day you get to eat in Irelands only two Michelin star restaurant. I was a little apprehensive due to my many (many) intolerances so I got in touch earlier in the week to chat to them about it. They came up with a delicious menu for me - #glutenfree #grainfree #dairyfree #paleo #AIP #autoimmunepaleo - and I didn’t once feel I was missing out on what my husband and folks-in-law were having. A fantastic experience. Felt like a proper foodie! Being a #restrictedfoodie doesn’t mean deprivation especially if you have good communication with the restaurant ahead of time and are open to suggestions. #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd #dublin #dublinrestaurants
Having a breakfast salad bowl this morning using up what’s in the fridge before restocking at the farmers market tomorrow. All organic (except the carrots) - mixed lettuce, rocket, beetroot, carrots, avocado (under the basil), olives, mince cooked with black olives, spring onion, oregano and basil 😋. . . . . . #saladforbreakfast #plantbased #paleo #aip #crohns #crohnsdisease #glutenfree #dairyfree #ibd #nutritionist
This chocolate chia pudding with raspberries was epic. I’m going to have to try to recreate it at home. Like a dessert for breakfast. 😋 #gluten-free #glutenfree #dairyfree #crohnsdisease #ibd #dublineats #healthy #nutritionist #paleo
