I typed up a short intro on why gluten is bad for you and what it’s doing to peoples’ bodies. Zonulin is a protein that modulates the permeability of tight junctions between cells in the digestive tract. (See tight junction below.) Tight junctions stop macromolecules from leaking into your body from your gut. They’re supposed …

Birth Control Dangers
Mom told me that the birth control pill made her depressed. My response was “I’m already on antidepressants, who gives a fuck, also as if it can make you that depressed”. Wrong again. It made me very angry and apathetic. I was on it since I was young so I didn’t really know the difference …
What does depression or anxiety feel like? Is what I’m experiencing depression or just life?
Here’s a video I did a while ago before I figured out what was wrong with me. I was on a high dose of antidepressants and looking back, I was not well. But the antidepressants did help. I explain a bit in there, and I’ll explain below. My experience of depression: Whenever I was walking …
Pregnancy woes SOLVED
Turns out I was wrong about all of the following: “So I was beginning to worry that being pregnant was just going to be full of arthritis and depression and skin problems. As soon as I get my health under control, pregnancy arrives and smacks me down. BUT I figured it out. Fuck you world, …
“I’m too busy to eat like this, it’s too expensive,” and other excuses
“I’m too busy” If you’re too busy (and you’re not THAT sick), cut out gluten and dairy. If you live in a big city this is usually fairly easy. If you think that’s too difficult, cut out gluten. But you have to be strict about it. Do it for a month, reintroduce it, and when …

Will This Diet Help You?
People have been emailing me, asking me if I think their certain set of symptoms are food related. Normally I would bet good money that they are, but I usually say “there’s a good chance that they are, try it for a month and see.” Most of the questions I get are regarding mental disorders, …
What do I mean by reaction? Explanation of an immune response/ reaction
Sorry, I was away for a bit. Had another reaction! The pregnancy made me a bit more sensitive, but fortunately that got me to clean up my diet a tiny bit more. I get a lot of questions asking me if certain symptoms are “normal” or people wondering if their certain set of symptoms could …

Pregnancy Struggles
I haven’t had that difficult of a time so far (although I’m only at 15 weeks), but here’s what I’ve experienced so far: (All of the links I’ve posted are pills or things I use and are safe for people with food allergies – gluten, dairy, soy, sulphites, anything else you can think of probably. …
Tammy’s Shepherd’s Pie
My mom came up with this, its great. This lasts two adults about two days. I make it once a week, it’s wonderful, especially in the winter. Add salt and pepper afterwards to your fancy. It’s one of my favourite dishes. You can switch up the ground beef with any cooked meat (chicken, leftover turkey, etc.) …
Growing Up with an Autoimmune Disorder (age 2-10)
What I’d like people to take away is, when I was a kid, having arthritis was much easier psychologically than having arthritis when I was older. It was frustrating, painful, and terrible, but because I didn’t know any different, it didn’t get to me mentally. This is really important to remember if you’re the parent …
