Introduction

Hello my name is Allison and I am a daughter of a person living with Crohns Disease. I also have been diagnosed to have Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS). My uncle has Celiac Sprue and my aunt has Diverticulitis. Recently my cousin has been diagnosed to have both Crohns and Celiac. As a family we have gone through many diets and have tried to find recipes that we can cook and share. It is amazing how difficult it can be to come up with a menu when you have a list of what you can not eat, and are unsure of what you can eat. I am not a doctor and I am not a dietitian, but my goal is to provide some recipes or ideas of what you can have. Remember, you should follow the diet that your doctor or dietitian has set forth for you. I am just hoping to help you find a starting point, so you don't find yourself over whelmed as we had or find yourself feeling a sense of hopelessness when there is hope. The other goal of this blog is to provide you with foods that can replace the ones you are not able to have in your favorite recipes that you currently enjoy. It is my belief that some of these recipes can also be used to help those with food allergies. If you are unsure that a recipe here will or will not work for you please ask your Doctor or Dietitian about it prior to trying it out.
