Hello, I am also looking for encouragement. I’ve logged daily for over 4 years. After an 8 year fight for wellness from Lyme disease, I am rising from weighing 88 lbs and being very sensitive to a lot of foods. I have Celiac too. I am trying to gain weight and get strong again. My goal is at least 117, which is my minimum…

Eliminating FODMAPs after trying to figure out celiac issues and so many food sensitivities was the missing piece to my puzzle! Check out the book The Loving Diet by Jessica Flanigan, it covers a lot of FODMAP info in the Food Section.

hello, I've been through more doctors than I can count on one hand and I am in Idaho. the doctors have either told me I am crazy or admitted that they aren't going to test me because they can get fined from the government for having any patients diagnosed with Lyme. the most accurate lab to get tested from is IGeneX in…

I've been following AIP for a healing diet for my endless food allergies and two autoimmune diseases. i was not able to eat anything but bone broth and soft boiled meat for months and I got down to 88 lbs but this diet is beginning to heal my gut !!! I can eat almost what I feel is nearly normal now - I can eat almost all…

I know exactly what you're going through. I was anorexic for about 3 years and got down to 88lbs at 5'5". once my doctor and counselor finally got me on the right track, and after a year of slowly upping my caloric goal 50 cals a week, I was terrified to find myself consuming 3,000+ calories a day and still hungry. my…

my Labrador puppy. playing the piano. horses. yummy food that doesn't make me sick.

Hi Janet, A family member of mind has had severe very chronic lymes for over ten years and we have helped care for him. I am very understanding and sympathetic and know how hard it is to find anything that doesn't cause pain. I myself think I have the beginning stages of lymes as does my dr/nutritionist and hopefully we've…

thanks for the follow!! <3

that sounds so yummy! I'm going to try it. thank you!

@mspunkyone thank you!! it hasn't been easy and I've seemed to plateau at 108 right now. I've had some bad flares so that's probably why. it's ppl like you who make me want to keep going

thank you! I followed you all. @mspunkyone

thank you so much! @DancingMoosie

we don't have sprouts where I live is out in the middle of no where. Walmart is an hour away and it doesn't have gf food. I get most of my groceries from thrive market online which is rlly cheap. or our local little organic grocery store, where it is super expensive!

I know about being careful, I've been celiac for two years and have found out the hard way about spices and sauces and eating out and supposedly GF foods. I eat lots of non dairy ice cream and am trying to add more meat. for some reason avocados make me sick but I LOVE the taste.

thank you so much!!! I appreciate it <3

please anyone feel free to add me. I have Celiacs and appreciate encouraging friends as I cannot gain weight with my malnutritioned, damaged gut and struggle to eat enough food.

I'm trying to gain weight too, I have Celiacs and gaining weight is a constant struggle, I could use the encouragement
