Well I’m a day late, but Happy #WorldOstomyDay! It’s been a little over two years since my ileostomy, and I’m so grateful for this handy little contraption which helped save my life! 🙌 .

So, nothing went as planned.
.
.
I’d planned to document and share my whole surgical/hospital journey as it unfolded. Didn’t happen.
.
.
I’d planned to bounce back from surgery quickly this time. Didn’t happen.
.
.
I’d planned to be relatively self-sufficient this time around and not need the urgent help of family and friends to come to my “rescue.” Didn’t happen.
.
.
I’d planned to jump right back into an anti-inflammatory, protein-rich Paleo-ish diet to encourage faster healing. Didn’t happen.
.
.
I’d planned to build on the much-needed weight I’d finally gained during the last two years, and definitely not lose any additional weight from this experience. Didn’t happen. (All that weight gain gone in a week and half. 😥)
.
.
While my surgery was successful and I am grateful for that (🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻), my digestion has had a very rough time getting back on track, culminating into an intestinal blockage and a second hospital stay immediately following my post-surgery hospital release. The pain and nausea were unbearable, and I’ve spent the last week and a half in a lot of suffering. So, unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.
.
.
You’d think that after living with Crohn’s disease for over 17 years now, I’d know how unpredictable it is! But I guess I was due for another lesson. 🤦🏻‍♀️ .
.
While Crohn’s is as unpredictable as ever, one thing I always can rely on is my network of family and friends. Once again, they rallied around to help get me through, and I don’t know what I would have done otherwise. I’m home now but still not out of the woods (stuck on a liquid diet for the time being 😩), but I want to thank all my loved ones (and also the nurses, doctors, and medical staff) for all the support during a time when I felt (and still sort of feel) quite helpless. .
.
I’m looking forward to moving past this, healing, and hopefully getting well again soon. (Although right now, I’d settle for a simple cheeseburger. 🍔😉😩)

What’s everyone making for their Labor Day barbecue celebrations this weekend? If you’re looking for quick, easy side dishes or condiments to add to your feast, my AIP-friendly salsas are refreshing options.
.
.
My Peach Salsa and Cucumber Apple Salsa recipes are both nightshade-free (no tomatoes or peppers, for those who are sensitive or intolerant!). They can be paired with any grilled entree for a splash of summer on your plate. ☀️ 🍑🥒🍎

To my #ostomy friends: I’m out and about handling some final medical appointments before my #protectomy next week. And I’m starting to get nervous! Does anyone have any advice for me with regard to this surgery? I’ve already had a total colectomy and ileostomy, but this surgery is new to me and I’m not sure what to expect! Any advice from my #barbiebutt insta friends? 🍑

#FBF - from a few weeks ago when we got to enjoy this late night snack: gluten-free pizza at @bleeckerstreetpizza. Yum! 🍕
.
.
While it’s not a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, they do offer gluten-free options for those who don’t have to be too strict about possible cross contamination. I just take a couple extra capsules of my @enzymedica GlutenEase enzymes and I’m good to go!

#FBF: thinking about this incredible meal at @risotteriamelottinyc from a few weeks ago. All the food was amazing but the risotto was *exceptional* (pictured here is the Pollo, Bacon, Asparagi risotto 😍).
.
.
This family owned business uses rice grown on their own farm in Italy, cultivated with spring water and organic soils. And you can taste the difference in their wholesome and fresh ingredients!
.
.
The entire menu is gluten-free, and there were so many items I wish I could have tasted. I can’t wait to go back to try more delectable dishes from their menu!

As much as I indulged while I was in NYC (ummm, can we say pasta and dessert overload?), I also made sure to get in some super healthy meals. @thevillageden was one of my favorite spots for casual, healthy, tasty eating. I enjoyed the Greenwich Breakfast Bowl 🙌 (although I requested hard boiled eggs instead of poached, and I couldn’t eat the greens because raw greens lead to blockages for me 😩).
.
.
@thevillageden doesn’t cook with gluten, soy, red meat, processed sugars, seed oils, or fryers. So everything is gluten-free, and there are options for #paleo, #keto, and #vegan eaters. Everything was fresh and tasty, and I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the West Village! 🌱
