Snack Time

I am leaving tomorrow! NO! I don't want to leave!
I love it here in TN. Life is sweet. Getting these amazing meals made for me, always having a "good" snack around, and help.
Ginny went to the store to get some snacks for our ride home :) ME like snacks! She was going to make me rice crispy's, but they didn't have the right stuff :'( *tear* so she got these really good cereal puffs called puffins. They are delicioso! Escpecially when you add almonds, cashews, and walnuts;) . (keep in mind, don't eat raw nuts, always cook/blanch them) I had that snack today, and now I know my main snack. I also discovered, in our messed up world of ours, Tahini! I put it on my rice cakes, and then I use SUGAR FREE jelly, smuckers doesn't count, and yum.
Well, Keep these in mind. For other GREAT snacks you can buy Ginny's book, I don't know it off the top of my mind, but I guarantee that it is on her website : http://www.youcanheayou.com

The beginning to my HEALING! :D

HI AGAIN!!!!!
Well, I have been at Ginny's house since Monday now. I created this blog actually while I have been here. On Monday, my first day I remember I didn't think I was going to like this diet (its macrobiotics <-- it even sounds nasty), but turns out it was AMAZING! We had rice, barley, and spelt for BREAKFAST, stir fry and lentil soup for LUNCH, and broccoli, lentil loaf(like meatloaf, but less..... meaty), spaghetti squash, udon noodles, and broccoli pickles ALL for DINNER!
Be honest.. how AMAZING does that sound!? Pretty good right? It was!
After dinner I had this small glass of aloe juice and other immune juice (i'll post pictures eventually),surprisingly it tastes like a really good like fruit juice!That night I used an ionized machine on my feet. It pulled out all the bad and nasty stuff out. I even had parasite, and again I will post pictures eventually.
Now that was all Monday. Now time for Tuesday.
Waffles without flour?! Yes. It IS possible, and it is pretty good! I got a ginger compress on my back that day, and the next, you do it for three days in a row, that means my last one is tonight. I am quite excited. You lay on your tummy while watching TV and she puts a HOTTTTT towel on your back and you lay there for about 20 minutes and she(Ginny) is always lifting it up and dipping it in the hot water again.
Well, I don't understand this book we are reading for English, so my mom is going to take me to the movie store and hopefully we find the book, wish us luck!
I hope we don't get lost. Oh goodness.
COMMENT!!!! OR QUESTION!!! !PLEASE! I like reading them!

My First Post

Hi Everyone!
I am Harley,and this is my first blog. EVER. I was diagnosed with crohns at the age of 13, in December 2009. I am now 14, soon to be 15. I have been on stupid NG tube feeds for 13 (and a half) months. Except, THIS WHOLE month, I havent been doin them!!!! YAYY!!!! I have had severe crusty nose, and runny nose, and a crohnic sore throat, so mother dearest let me stop for a while :) .
 I was on Remicade ( which I thought wasn't too bad, other than sitting in the hospital for 6 hours, and having constant upper respiratory issues), but now Remicade doesn't work for me. I am on humira. I have only had 2-3 doses. I don't want to take Humira. I want to try to heal my crohns through diet *(hint to the name of my blog)*
I was hesitant beginng humira, except I HAD to take the first dose, because I was in the hospital, then the second dose never came in the mail. PROBLEM? NOPE (well, not in my case)! I was luvin' it! I was trying a healthier diet. I wanted to keep trying, but I kept sneaking in small snacks that I shouldn't have been having, and of course I kept on getting worse. My mother finally came to me and said that I had to take the (stupid) humira. I agreed (not willingly). I took it, even though it was EXCRUCIATINGLY painful! *(another reason I absolutely HATE humira)*
I have decided that I am not going to sneak in any more little snacks. I am going to try a macrobiotic diet, and I am going to heal, just like my new friend Ginny did (her website listed at bottom). I want to be JUST like her. I want to not be on any meds, until I die,or turn old and HAVE TO go on meds. Anyway, I want to eat well, which as I have been told by my sister is cool, especially before your sweet 16 party.
I hope this diet works out and I will try to post a lot!!! LEAVE COMMENTS!!! !PLEASE!
