Three things I wish I knew when I was diagnosed with Crohns disease

Three things I wish I knew when I was diagnosed with Crohns disease
In June 2010 I was officially diagnosed with Crohns disease. I was sick for 7 months before I couldn't keep water down and knew something was seriously wrong.
Crohns is an autoimmune disease. That means I will never be free of this disease, but that does NOT mean it defines me.
I often think "If I only knew xyz then maybe my disease would not have progressed so fast.
Perhaps you know someone that has dealt with an autoimmune disease or maybe you deal with an autoimmune disease.
I have created a list of 3 things I wish I knew when I first got sick so maybe, just maybe- you can avoid the years of damage I have.

1.. 80 % of our immune system is controlled in our gut. If you have your gut under control, you will have a good immune system.
2. Daily food diary would help me figure out my triggers
3. Medicine has a purpose. So does your food. Let your medicine take care of your body.

Are you surprised by any of these?
I was surprised so much of my immune system is controlled by my got. I bet if you were able to get even one of these figured out NOW it will save you so many issues

As the leader of “Mom-ual: Manual for Moms”, I take great pride in being able to provide a safe and supportive platform for all mothers out there, be it first-time moms, experienced ones or single moms, working or stay-at-home. 

Our goal is to create a sense of community where mothers can come together, share resources, and guide each other through the joys and struggles of motherhood. We understand that raising a child is both wonderful and challenging, and it takes a village to handle it all. 

As an experienced parent myself since 2013, I truly understand firsthand how overwhelming motherhood can be, and that is why I created this community. 
My mission is to provide a place where overwhelmed mothers can receive the encouragement and support they need to thrive in their roles as parents. 

Proverbs 31:28 – “Her children arise up, and call her blessed”.
