I went to Clear Passage with a number of issues – strictures from Crohn’s, lack of periods, low nutritional absorption, SIBO, fatigue, leg ache etc.  My main reason for going though was to avoid major surgery for strictures.  Now that the therapy is over and I’ve been doing the home programme for about six months, […]

Missing Italy today so I recreated one of the dishes I had there but put my twist on it. Zoodles with loads of basil and spinach topped with green olives and bacon (I'd use prosciutto in future). Tried the #glutenfree pasta version of this in Italy but I much prefer my zoodle version (especially as the pasta didn't agree with me 😩). #zoodles #dairyfree #crohns #crohnsdisease #paleo #scd #aip #ibd #healthy #plantbased Prosciutto is delicious but especially when its crispy and topping a fresh chicken salad. A looooong weekend of lectures (after a long week of work) was brightened up by a belated birthday lunch in Zizzi's with the girls yesterday. Thanks so much for the treat 😘 @ruthiemc @michcotter @lynniedoyle . Just a shame we couldn't stay chatting for the afternoon! An hour was way too short - good food (and 🍷) shouldn't be rushed. And thanks to the restaurant for making my salad #glutenfree and #dairyfree too. #dublineats #sundaylunch #healthyfood #salad #paleo #crohns #crohnsdisease Can't believe it's a month since my wedding day already. What an absolutely brilliant day. Can I do it again? Love this photo @gillybowman - so special to have you by my side on the day. Miss having you here 😘. #weddingday #bridesmaids #friendship #bff Back to reality. Got home last night at about 1am and in work this morning 😩. This little sign my colleague left for me on my chair made me smile though when I got into work 👰. And as I had absolutely nothing in the apartment for breakfast this morning I treated myself a matcha latte and banana walnut paleo cake in the local cafe. Let the week begin! #matcha #paleo #crohns #crohnsdisease #marriedlife #dublin #glutenfree #dairyfree My final gelato in Rome before heading black home and it was one of the best - banana, strawberry and mango. Having had gelato and eaten out every day for nearly three weeks I'm gonna roll onto that plane, clothes a bit snugger. I definitely wouldn't have had the great time I did if I had to be super strict with my food (even though I always stuck with gluten free and dairy free). That's thanks to having my surgery earlier this year. I'm so thankful I went for it and it worked out so well. In saying that I'm really looking forward to cooking my own food again and not eating gelato for a while 😂. I'll probably have sugar withdrawal this week! Can't believe the honeymoon is over 😢. It was a fantastic trip. Best time ever. Amazing memories made. Ciao Italy 🇮🇹 it was bellissimo. #italy #honeymoon #rome #gelato #dairyfree #crohns #crohnsdisease #ibd Craving granita today in this heat after having it in Positano yesterday. Like a lemon slushy. I'm sure it was loaded with sugar but it totally quenched my thirst. #sweettreat #granita #italy #positano #honeymoon #dairyfree #glutenfree
