💟Happy Sunday y’all! I had the last of the turkey leftovers last night at our family outing. Even if you’re surrounded by food that looks and smells delish you can always take your own delicious food along. You don’t need to alienate yourself from a good outing, as long as you’re surrounded by positive people who understand that you’re doing this for your health. If you want the recipe for this delish #paleo turkey salad sandwich, see below⬇️ . . Paleo Turkey Salad Sandwich🥪 * 1 cup of shredded turkey breast * 2 TBSP @primalkitchenfoods mayo * A handful of apple juice-sweetened cranberries from @naturalgrocers * 1/4 cup of crushed pecans. * 6 green olives from @traderjoes brand chopped. * @bethswholesomekitchen cranberry sauce to spread. * salt and pepper to taste. * 1/4 tsp ground sage. *1 spear of @yeehawpickles No Frills Dills * 1 toasted original English Muffin from @mikeys * Preparation *place all ingredients EXCEPT for the English Muffin in a bowl and combine well. * Spread cranberry sauce on the English muffin and top with turkey salad. * Eat with a pickle spear *. *. Hope y’all like it! Peace and blessings. -L ☮️💜

💟Happy Wednesday y’all! I wanted to share with you some facts about my #ibd as part of Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week. I initially started seeing symptoms of IBD up to 2 years prior to diagnosis, however, they were what I now consider minor symptoms of a flare. It wasn’t until I was in a severe flare when I got diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. It took the doctors in the city I used to live in 3 months to give me a referral to see a specialist because they insisted that I only had an internal hemorrhoid (which was actually ulceration of my rectum and ENTIRE colon, termed pancolitis). I even went to the hospital and they told me I had nothing life threatening and discharged me WITHOUT TREATMENT. at this point I was weak, lost 20 pounds in a month, skin was grey, hair falling out, in excruciating abdominal pain, using the bathroom 35 times per day, a bad case of eczema on my hands, unable to move much, and thinking I was going to die any day since I could not hold down any food or water. It wasn’t until my mom reached out to a gastroenterologist that my uncle referred her to who was 2.5 hours away from my city that I was finally able to get diagnosed via colonoscopy and treated. My Gastroenterologist has been an angel and I have so much respect for him. I will go into more detail about my experience on IG stories and my blog post. Hope y’all have a lovely Wednesday! Peace and blessings. -L ☮️💜

💟Happy Monday friends! This week is Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness Week. I wanted to share my full story with you especially with my 2 year Diagnosis Date Anniversary coming up on December 5th. I will be posting on my blog so keep your eyes peeled for that. On IG though I will be posting about my life with Ulcerative Colitis and how I’ve had to make progressive changes in order to deal with my disease. This is a picture of me getting my beloved #Remicade infusion. My body has become dependent on steroids to combat the inflammation in my colon. The pills and enemas alone did not work. I was in EXCRUCIATING ABDOMINAL PAIN ✂️📌⚔️⛏🗡🏹🌵and felt like I needed to use the bathroom UP TO 35 TIMES per day (not counting bathroom trips just to urinate). Even a sip of water would cause at least 4 trips to the bathroom. 😱#Remicade is my lifeline and my connection to living as close to a normal life as possible. Conventional medicine is worth it for me because the side effects are worth the price of #remission 💟 Alrighty y’all. Hope you have a wonderful week. Stay kind and healthy. Peace and blessings. -L ☮️💜#ibdvisible #ibdawareness #ibdwarrior #invisibleillness #crohnsandcolitisawarenessweek #uclife

Who says you can’t indulge in a nice chewy chocolatey brownie whenever you have a craving? 🤤You can, as long as you bake one that has more nutritious ingredients like this one! This recipe is egg-free, refined sugar-free, grain-free, and lactose-free. 🍫I added walnuts and @fourthandheart Chocti Ghee because it tastes like chocolate frosting that is sweetened with dates. This recipe is from @bethswholesomekitchen and IS MY ABSOLUTE FAAAAVORITE!!! Indulge, but remember to control yourself. Hahaha! Happy Wednesday friends! Peace and blessings. -L ☮️💜
