Posted on January 4, 2019 Leave a Comment
It’s the start of a new year and everybody is thinking about setting goals and resolutions. As I mentioned in a previous blog instead of resolutions, I like to think of healthy habits that I want to cultivate in the coming year and work out ways to make them happen. I was quite happy with myself […]
My Post Operation Experience – recuperating at home and what life is like now
Posted on December 19, 2018 2 Comments
I can’t believe it has taken me so long to write this blog. The last year has just whizzed by in the blink of an eye. I had thought I had already written and posted this blog until somebody got in touch to ask if I could write about my post-operative experience. If you haven’t […]
Staying Gluten Free and Dairy Free in Italy
Posted on November 1, 2017 Leave a Comment
When people think of Italy one of the first things they probably think of (after Rome, Venice, Florence etc) is the food. If you are like me and have to be mindful of what you eat (especially gluten and dairy) you might be a bit apprehensive about travelling to and eating out in Italy – […]
How I’ve Been Managing Stress During A Very Busy Year
Posted on August 18, 2017 Leave a Comment
It’s been a pretty busy (and somewhat stressful) few months for me with getting over major surgery, working full time, studying part-time, doing exams and planning a wedding! I’m a stresser/worrier by nature anyway so having everything come at once has been at times overwhelming. But I know that stress can be inflammatory and I […]
My Surgery Experience: Small Bowel Resection
Posted on July 28, 2017 7 Comments
Warning: This is a long blog post but I wanted to give an account of my surgery experience. Before going in for surgery I didn’t find much on people’s experiences on the internet so I thought posting this might help someone who was facing their first bowel resection surgery and doesn’t know what to […]

Wow, it’s been a while since I wrote a post and a lot has happened in the last few months including bowel resection surgery for my Crohn’s. I wanted to do a post about why I chose to have the surgery as it definitely wasn’t an easy decision to make. Last year I wrote about […]

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, […]

Normally I have meat or fish and veggies for breakfast these days but with the change of season I found myself craving warming oaty porridge. I used to love porridge and could easily have had it morning, noon and night (I kid you not!!) with lashings of milk and spoons of sugar (I was a […]

A little of what I was loving in October HEALTHY Loving Earth Raw Chocolate I don’t eat chocolate too often these days (I like it, it unfortunately doesn’t like me much). I can seem to get away with a little taster here and there but if I have too much or too often, my stomach […]
Make Halloween a Little Healthier
Posted on October 21, 2016 Leave a Comment
Halloween has changed a lot since I was a kid. Back in the day everybody made their own costumes (normally from a black plastic sack), there were no decorations, you asked neighbours to ‘help the Halloween party’ rather than saying ‘trick or treat’ and you usually came back from doing the rounds with a bag […]
