My colectomy and IRA surgery. - Gutsy A colectomy is a surgery to remove the colon from the body. IRA stands for ileorectal anastomosis. The plan is to take down the stoma, remove my colon, and then attach the small intestine to my re**um. Yes it is possible to live without a colon and I am living proof. Here is the story …

Living with an ileostomy - Gutsy I want to give a warning about this post. It does have pictures of my stomach, stoma, and p**p. These pictures are meant to give you perspective and explain different terms I use. After my ileostomy surgery in May to fix my colonic inertia, life started to get better, MUCH better. It’s hard to exp...

Part 1: Colonic Inertia - Gutsy The only way is through it. Breath after breath. Day after day. I told myself I would eventually get through the depths of pain.

New update. http://www.mygutsy.com/show-up/

Show up - Gutsy Every time the thought pops up that I should write more about my story, I push it aside. I do this often now, daily actually. Partly because I do not feel like this season of my life is going to speak life or its even worthy of sharing. But when something is redundant in my …

Coconut Oil Benefits 🥥 Coconut oil is a “superfood” containing MCFAs medium-chain fatty acids (Caprylic acid, Lauric acid and Capric acid). 🥥MCFA are easily absorbed through the intestines and processed by the liver to be used as energy, instead of stored as fat. 🥥Increases the body’s metabolism and helps weight management. 🥥Cold pressed coconut oil works as an anti inflammatory all over the body in various organs and tissues. 🥥The medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are readily absorbed in the body, without the use of insulin. So the brain cells can efficiently access this energy, which improves memory. 🥥Use it for oil pulling to detox the mouth, and keep gums/teeth healthy. 🥥The Lauric acid (monolaurin) acts as an antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal in the body. 🥥 Specifically targets Staphylococcus Aureus and the yeast Candida Albicans. 🥥Helps naturally balance hormones and estrogen levels. 🥥

A new song in my heart - Gutsy It’s been a few months since my last post. I have honestly not had much motivation to write, but I think its time I see what I can come up with (because there is always something!) Lets go back to my hospital stay. That was hard, and even with the amount of support I had, …

Is there a middle ground for parents deciding on vaccines? What is a good book or research to help mainstream medicine parents make informed consent? Thanks!!

My post is up and hopefully the end of these infections. Praying for a new year full of life. http://www.mygutsy.com/blessed-is-she-who-has-believed/

Blessed is she who has believed - Gutsy Blessed. It has been on my heart to write. To get out the jumbled words, the fierce memory of pain, the rawness of life. This sort of pain only comes with a tear half fallen. The kind that wants to hold back, but can’t, because life needs to go on. Only hope can swaddle this …

The Unmolded me - Gutsy Pushing through perfectionism: Slowly but surely I made a blink, then another and another. “Why do I feel so strange?” I asked myself as I pulled my wobbly legs up to look at my refection. My lips pale, my hair disheveled, my fingers purple and cold. “Its just another day”, I told myself as I …

Faith is all I need - Gutsy My vision was to write another detailed day-by-day post (like day 1) on my Mayo Clinic journey (which I still may do), but at 5:00am of a terribly restless night, a thought came to me. Maybe I’m supposed to be honest and write from my heart… something harder, something truer, something now. Back up…

Hi Everyone! I am trying to make the effort to start blogging again on Gutsy! Wooh hoo!

I guess I'll just get right back to it! I'm into figuring out the right probiotic strain for my gut. I have loved the Probiota Bifido for over 6 months because its the best one for people with histamine problems... But I'm researching good strains for killing and controlling yeast.

I'm super curious about this Saccharomyces Boulardii! Anyone tried it before?

Essential oils are truly natures medicine!

My current favorites are :

Juniper
celery seed
carrot seed
goldenrod
german camomile
basil

I love putting a drop of each in some coconut oil, mixing it up and rubbing it all over my liver, kidneys, lymph nodes and spine.

Or putting them in the diffuser and letting it run while I sleep.

These oils are some of the best for cleansing the detox organs!

Hi everyone! I first want to thank you for all the prayers! Healing is definitely coming along and Im excited to share my journey and all the things I have learned along the way!

A few topics I am thinking about sharing and wanted to ask what I should focus on first..

-my MCS/ allergy free house and life

- mold detox
- mercury detox
- essential oils

Let me know your thoughts! Thank you again for sticking with me.
