.

These are so easy to make and require only three ingredients: chocolate, coconut oil and of course, strawberries! .
.
I especially love using @equalexchange chocolate chips because they are allergen-friendly: soy-free and dairy-free plus organic and fair trade (not to mention immensely delicious)! Bonus: this recipe is both Paleo and vegan (I.e. sure to please just about everyone). ❤️

These delicious treats are about as allergen-friendly as it gets — nut-free, grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free, coconut-free, and refined sugar-free. But you’d never know it because they’re super yummy! They’re always a hit with all my non-Paleo friends and family. .

The Many Faces of Crohn’s: it’s #CrohnsandColi The Many Faces of Crohn’s: it’s #CrohnsandColitisAwarenessWeek which makes it a good time to talk about living with Crohn’s disease. .
.
From the prednisone “moon” face to being thin and gaunt to everything in between, there is no one way that we patients “wear” our disease. In fact, much of the time, we probably look perfectly “normal” or healthy on the outside. We learn to smile even when we’re in pain, weak, or terribly fatigued. We push through each day, trying to hide most of the symptoms that plague us. Crohn’s is an invisible illness that can reach far beyond digestive symptoms. Some of us also battle joint pain (and other types of pain), skin issues, extreme fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, anemia, anxiety, and depression.
.
.
For almost 18 years, I’ve been a #Crohnie. When conventional meds started to fail me years ago, I started to explore the healing power of nutrition. While not a cure, it’s helped me when meds couldn’t. I’ve endured numerous hospitalizations and surgeries, including two partial colectomies, one seton placement, and a total colectomy/ileostomy with a proctectomy to follow. In between, I’ve had obstructions, infections, abscesses, fistula, and some devastating and even life-threatening side effects to meds like Remicade, Humira, prednisone, and mercaptopurine (6MP).
.
.
Today, I manage my illness with nutrition and other lifestyle modifications. (I still take medication, just no IBD specific meds...I can’t tolerate them and they don’t work for me).
.
.
Every patient handles IBD differently. There is no one-size-fits-all medication or diet. And our needs often change as time goes on. But if there’s anything that IBD patients tend to have in common, it’s strength, tenacity, and compassion for others. Even though it’s a fight everyday, I’m proud to be a part of this community! 💪
