Living pain-free through SCD helps me enjoy life.

Living pain-free through SCD helps me enjoy life.
Do you believe in the power of food and following your gut? So do I.
I went for years with doctors telling me there was nothing wrong with my gut despite my being in pain. In 2008 I began to feel better by following a gluten-free diet, but I still had a lot to learn. Finally, in 2009, with the help of The University of Chicago Celiac Center, I learned that I have non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).
Before feeling better, I was in so much discomfort I could barely walk, and doing something as simple as shaking a person's hand caused pain. On top of the neuropathy, there was stomach pain, brain fog, fatigue, skin lesions and mouth sores, diarrhea (oh the stories I could tell you), restless leg syndrome, and a type of crankiness that is hard to explain—a brooding, micro managerial witch comes pretty close to describing it!
Because of all this, I follow a strict gluten-free diet—not because I want to. Because I have to.
Yet, while eating gluten-free helped me, it wasn't enough. I kept suffering from gut issues—diverticulitis (including two hospitalizations), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), systemic bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and more.
I also live with multiple autoimmune disorders, including Sjogren's Disease.
I tried many diet protocols to feel better. After much trial and error, I found that The Specific Carbohydrate Diet is what works best for me.
In addition to SCD, I am a fan of intermittent fasting (IF). I find that when I use IF along with SCD, it makes my gut even happier, and it helps me manage Sjogren's.
I love family, friends, pets, writing, reading, cooking, baking, traveling, EATING, and having fun.
And now, I love being here with you!
