Glimpsing a nourishing life; with a baked treat and a good book
I love tea. Thank the Food Intolerance Gods for letting me still be able to drink tea!! I keep mindful around fruit teas (monitoring for FODMAPs), but to be honest, fruit teas don’t do it for me as much as other teas do! I also watch the caffeine content because as we all know, this […] Read more…
During the evening of Tuesday April 16th, Mum and I went to a two hour seminar held at the Hilton Hotel by Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat. The topic of the talk was the concept of using movement to be healthy. The main message of the evening was perhaps an obvious one, but very overlooked due to our […] Read more…
I have been playing the waiting game for the past few weeks, so have not posted about my personal health progress lately. I have been monitoring to see if the new medication would assist me. It has been six weeks since I started it so it is still a little too early to tell, but it is possible […] Read more…
We need to stop waking up like this; waking to news from overseas of something horrible happening. I woke this morning to the sound of my parents’ phone ringing. It was missed, and then it rang again. I heard Dad get up and answer it, and say hello to my aunt. Then after a little […] Read more…

Having food intolerances can be debilitating and disheartening. I have had symptoms for the past 10 years, but went misdiagnosed til 2 years ago. I have been hospitalised. I have had days and days off work. I have had so much pain that I have been told I will be prepared for child birth when that day […] Read more…
When I first saw the naturopath at the clinic where I get regular acupuncture and massage, I had an assessment done. She noticed that on the left side of my stomach, close to my belly button, there is a firm, sometimes raised area. I have been aware of this for years. She explained that this was a […] Read more…
I have gained such a good hold on my strict diet these days that I don’t often get issues resulting from food now. This makes it all worth it! It is a very strict diet, but for the most part I enjoy it now, and don’t want for other foods very often (apart from the […] Read more…
