About Me
When I have five years old I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease and at the time I was the youngest patient at Hasbro Children's Hospital to be diagnosed. The biggest influence of this blog was seeing patients struggle to maintain remission when going in for regular checkups. From my experience of being diagnosed I discovered that in order to make a difference I would create a blog of recipes and diet plans. I found that there was a significant opportunity for patients to be helped in a way outside of being treated by doctors, and that there was a lack of action being taken to do this.
