Inspiration and recipes for squeaky clean eating
Our journey began with a diagnosis of Early Onset Crohn’s Disease, or what we like to call a "special belly". We decided to manage the disease with the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD). We quickly learned that eating mostly fresh, unprocessed food is not restrictive or boring. Instead, whole food tastes amazing and is beneficial to everyone. We are on a mission to provide resources and recipes that make squeaky clean eating easier and exciting for all of our Special Bellies!
