Today is World IBD Day. This day unites people wor Today is World IBD Day. This day unites people worldwide  in their fight against Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). ⁣I was diagnosed with IBD, specifically UC at age 15, and it has been quite the journey for the past 25 years. ⁣
⁣
In November of 2022, I was diagnosed with early stage colorectal cancer. I am so grateful to have had my routine colonoscopy which detected the cancer early. Soon after, I underwent a total proctocolectomy which cured my IBD, and ultimately saved my life. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣
I cannot express how grateful I am for all of my followers, my supporters, and for the IBD community. These individuals are warriors who, despite their suffering, still have the will to fight and share their story with the world. You are and have always been an inspiration to me.  And although I no longer have a colon, I will always be a proud IBD warrior and advocate for invisible and digestive diseases.  I will continue to share my story and be united with you in this journey. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A purple ribbon is used a symbol to raise awareness for IBD. Show your support today by tagging a friend and commenting with a Purple Heart 💜 ⁣⁣

Whether you or someone you know is coping with an autoimmune disease, reach out and offer that person the love and support they need to rise above and continue fighting. ⁣

Hello friends!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It's Easter weekend, a Hello friends!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's Easter weekend, and it's been so long since I've created a new recipe. Recovering from my surgery has left me with lots of time to scroll, and when I came across Adriana's (@fortheloveoffoodandlife ) no bake coconut lime mascarpone cheesecake, I was inspired to create a gluten free, lactose/dairy free version to bring to Easter lunch tomorrow. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For the base, I subbed regular graham cracker crumbs with gluten free, and the butter with Earth Balance dairy free spread. Then I subbed the mascarpone cheese with Tofutti dairy free cream cheese combined with plain Bufala yogurt to make the creamy, cheesecake-like filling.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Check out the recipe below☺️⁣
⁣⁣
Base:⁣⁣
⁣
1.5 cups @kinnikinnickgf Gluten Free graham cracker crumbs⁣⁣
0.5 cups @earthbalance dairy free spread, melted⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Filling:⁣⁣
⁣
16oz @tofuttibrands dairy free cream cheese⁣⁣
400g @bufalayogurt plain yogurt, strained⁣⁣
1.25 cup sugar⁣⁣
3 tsp coconut extract⁣⁣
1 tsp vanilla extract⁣⁣
Juice and zest of 1 lime⁣⁣
⁣
Topping:⁣⁣
⁣
0.5 cups shredded coconut, toasted⁣⁣
Mini eggs (optional)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Prep:⁣⁣
⁣
Place the yogurt in a cheese cloth, then over a strainer to drain any extra liquid from the yogurt. **This step should be done 3 hours prior to making your dessert⁣**⁣
⁣⁣
1. Prepare the base by combining the diary free butter with the graham cracker crumbs and press in to an 8-inch glass pan. Freeze for 10-15 mins⁣⁣
2. Add all filling ingredients, except for the strained yogurt, to a bowl and mix until well combined (I used my KitchenAid stand mixer)⁣⁣
3. Fold in the strained yogurt by hand until the mixture is smooth⁣⁣
4. Pour the mixture over the base⁣⁣
5. Top with toasted coconut and mini eggs (if using)⁣⁣
6. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight⁣⁣
⁣
Enjoy and wishing you all a blessed Easter 💜xo⁣

The month of March is Colon Cancer awareness month The month of March is Colon Cancer awareness month, and March 3 is Dress in Blue Day in support of advancing education and awareness of this disease. ⁣
⁣
As someone who was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer, today I am dressed in blue to raise awareness, to continue to share my personal experience, and to support those who have been recently diagnosed, currently fighting, currently thriving, currently caregiving and for those who have lost their battle to colon cancer. ⁣
⁣
💙A person is never “too young” to get colon cancer ⁣
💙Men and women can get colon cancer ⁣
💙Colon cancer often has few/no symptoms ⁣
💙Talk to your physician about getting screened..it could save your life ⁣

Together, we are stronger 💪🏻🙏🏻⁣

Hello Everyone⁣ ⁣ February 4th is World Cancer Hello Everyone⁣
⁣
February 4th is World Cancer Day, and it is 3 months from when I first received my colorectal cancer diagnosis. ⁣
⁣
Although colorectal cancer tends to have a good prognosis, I remember feeling overwhelmed, frightened, in complete shock, and powerless. I am grateful to have had life changing surgery that saved my life a few weeks ago 🙏🏻 💜⁣
⁣
Today, I would like to acknowledge the warriors that are newly diagnosed, those who are in treatment, those supporting and treating people with cancer, those living and thriving post cancer, and all of those missing and grieving loved ones they have lost to this horrible disease. ⁣
⁣
Since my diagnosis, I am happy to share this journey and raise awareness via my @gutsygirldiaries account. Together we are stronger 💜💪🏻⁣
