Two and half years ago I was diagnosed with two chronic illnesses. I was terrified at what this meant for my future, but also grateful to finally have concrete answers after seeing forty-five healthcare practitioners over the course of seven years. I was so sick at that point, and could only tolerate 5 foods. As the months passed, I began to heal and slowly added foods back to my diet. I got creative in the kitchen, and fell in love with cooking all over again. Happy to say I can now eat everything, but I follow the 80/20 rule to keep my gut healthy.
