Hello Friends and Happy Friday! ⁣ ⁣ Today is s

Hello Friends and Happy Friday! ⁣
⁣
Today is such a beautiful day, the sun is shining…but I’m definitely in my feelings today. ⁣
⁣
One year ago today, I had my last ever colonoscopy. And from this day last year, my whole world turned upside down for a little while. It is crazy to think how much my mind and body have changed in the past year, and it has very much been a grieving process. ⁣
⁣
As someone with a chronic illness for most of her life, I was no stranger to going to doctor’s offices, having tests (bloodwork, colonoscopies, bone scans, CTs/MRIs) and feeling unwell more days than not. It is sometimes still hard for me to say that I don’t have IBD anymore because it was so much a part of my identity. ⁣
⁣
Today, I choose to feel my feelings, grieve my past self, and use my journey, experience, and knowledge to hopefully reach others who are in the same boat and who may be struggling. ⁣
⁣
Check out my latest stories/ “My Cancer Journey” highlight for a recap of my last colonoscopy ever …September 29, 2022. ⁣

Much love 💜xo ⁣

It’s Sugo Sundays here at home and I am making o

It’s Sugo Sundays here at home and I am making one our family’s favourite pasta dishes: Tortellini Bolognese. This pasta recipe is literally comfort in a bowl. I often make this dish during the week too because it comes together in 20 minutes thanks to my Instant Pot. ⁣
⁣
Check out the recipe below, I know you’re going to love it! ⁣
⁣
Ingredients: ⁣
⁣
•450g ground meat (I used ground bison) ⁣
•2 carrots, chopped ⁣
•½ red onion, chopped ⁣
•2 celery stalks, chopped ⁣
•3 cloves garlic, minced ⁣
•1 bay leaf ⁣
•32oz tomato sauce (I used homemade) ⁣
•½ cup beef broth ⁣
•700g fresh tortellini ⁣
•Salt to taste ⁣
•Parmiggiano Reggiano for topping ⁣
⁣
⁣
Directions: ⁣
⁣
1. Using the Saute function on your Instant Pot, brown your ground meat until no longer pink ⁣
⁣
2. Add the carrot, onion, celery and garlic and mix to incorporate ⁣
⁣
3. Add tortellini and mix again ⁣
⁣
4.Add the tomato sauce, beef broth, bay leaf and season with salt. Stir gently to combine. ⁣
⁣
5. Turn off the Saute function and place the lid on your Instant Pot ensuring the knob is turned to “sealing” ⁣
⁣
6. Using the Manual function on the Instant Pot, set your timer to 15 min ⁣
⁣
7. Once the 15 minutes have passed, you can either release the pressure from your Instant Pot all at once, or allow for a slow release ⁣
⁣
8.Top your pasta with freshly grated parmiggiano Reggiano (or even some hot chilis if you’re feeling spicy) and…. ⁣
⁣
Enjoy!! ⁣

Good morning friends 💜⁣ ⁣ I am feeling supe

Good morning friends 💜⁣
⁣
I am feeling super nostalgic right now…⁣
⁣
One year ago, today I had the opportunity to travel to Saint-Sauveur, Québec to advocate for IBD. It was such an amazing experience. I got to meet so many people, and I was able to share my IBD journey with over 200 people who work directly in the IBD community. ⁣
⁣
The experience was so humbling, and the overall vibe was compassionate, supportive, uplifting, and positive. Raising awareness and advocating in support of the IBD community is something that I will forever be involved in and passionate about.⁣
⁣
One year later, I no longer have a colon, but IBD will always be a part of me and my life journey. By starting Gutsy Girl Diaries, I chose to embrace this path, break the stigma, and empower others with the disease as well as those diagnosed with colorectal cancer and/or living with an ileostomy. ⁣
⁣
As always, a huge thank you to everyone who has been with me on this journey. I am so grateful to have your support, empathy, compassion, and care.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Much love 💜xo⁣⁣

Over the weekend, the kids and I made these fluffy pumpkin pancakes, and they did not disappoint. ⁣
⁣
Packed full of fall flavour with pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, these gluten free pancakes will become a breakfast staple in our household. ⁣
⁣
Here’s what you need: ⁣

⁣
½ cup pumpkin puree ⁣
½ cup milk of choice (dairy or non dairy will work) ⁣
2 eggs ⁣

¼ cup brown sugar ⁣
1 tablespoon baking powder ⁣
¼ tsp nutmeg ⁣
¼ tsp ginger ⁣
¼ tsp allspice ⁣
½ tsp cinnamon ⁣
Pinch of salt ⁣
Avocado oil for cooking ⁣

Once the edges are sizzling and golden brown, flip and cook the pancake on the other side ⁣

Since having my ostomy surgery in January 2023, I

Since having my ostomy surgery in January 2023, I am always on the hunt for quick and easy meals that I can digest. Chicken and rice cakes are two foods that are ileostomy friendly, so I find that I have them both quite often. ⁣
⁣
Today for lunch, I made this simple chicken salad on rice cakes. For the chicken, I used Kirkand canned seasoned chicken breast. I like to keep this in my pantry for when I am in a pinch, and need to make a healthy, high protein meal in minutes. The other ingredients are totally customizable to your taste, I chose these ones because I really like them and are not considered high risk blockage foods for my ileostomy. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Ingredients: ⁣
⁣
100g chicken breast, flaked (canned or freshly cooked) ⁣
2 wedges Laughing Cow cheese ⁣
2 tablespoons Longo’s Muffuletta spread ⁣
2 Quaker Rice Cakes (I used the white cheddar ones for some extra flavour) ⁣
⁣
⁣
Directions: ⁣
⁣
Place the chicken and cheese to a bowl and mix until combined ⁣
Add the Muffuletta spread and stir ⁣
Top each rice cake with an equal amount of the chicken mixture….and ⁣
⁣

Change Day!⁣ ⁣ Good morning friends! ⁣ I wea

Change Day!⁣
⁣
Good morning friends!
⁣
I wear a two piece Coloplast appliance, the Sensura Mio, and I change my full appliance every 6-7 days. In hospital, I was using another line of the Coloplast 2 piece system, Assura, which I liked but I just prefer the feel and design of the Sensura Mio. ⁣
⁣
The two piece appliance system consists of a baseplate/flange and then the ostomy pouch that clips onto the bag. I usually change my ostomy pouch every other day by unlocking it, then detaching it from the flange and putting on a new one. I remember in hospital I couldn’t get the bag to click on and I was so overwhelmed! But I got the hang of it pretty quickly, just takes practice :)⁣
⁣
Other Coloplast products I use are: ⁣
⁣
Coloplast Ostomy Scissor: this is used to cut the opening of baseplate/flange to fit the stoma. There is also a measuring guide included in each box of ostomy pouches as the size of the stoma can change significantly in the first 6 weeks post surgery ⁣
⁣
Brava Protective Ring: This is placed on the flange for extra protection against leaks⁣
Adhesive Remover Wipes: to help remove the flange and protective ring from my skin ⁣
⁣
Brava Skin Barrier Wipes: to protect the skin from irritation caused by leaks or adhesives ⁣
⁣
Brava Stoma Powder: absorbs any left over moisture and helps to keep the skin dry ⁣
⁣
Brava Lubricating Deodorant: I put this into my pouch at the end of an appliance change and also after each time I empty as it neutralizes odour and also lubricates so any thicker output and move down the pouch easily ⁣
⁣
Over the last months, I’ve learned so much about living with an ostomy. Everyone has their own routine, products, changing schedule, etc. Before my surgery, I watched a ton of ostomy bag change videos and after surgery, and they were so helpful! I learned to not compare my routine to others. The process and learning to live with an ileostomy is beyond overwhelming…you have to do what is right and comfortable for you 🙏🏻⁣
⁣
Much love and Happy Sunday! 💜xo⁣
