But now I question that and think that maybe the break that it gave me was putting me in a situation scary enough to get me to open my eyes all on my own. So did life give me disease or did it give me health? Whichever it was I am thankful. They are just two sides of one thing and there are definitely blessings in both.

Today I watched this video and went to check the website and my package. My package states the following: non-genetically engineered soybeans and wheat. Either way, I will no longer buy this product for other reasons, it really makes me feel like I ate food with MSG after eating it.

I was "flare-free" from Crohn's for almost 10 years when a new flare began, and I am still in the process of healing. Like Sondi, I am grateful, because the time I took off of work gave me the opportunity to really reflect on my life and even though I thought I was healthy, I have learned so much more and have made even more positive changes in my life. I am so excited by all the new things in my life! Without this recent flare I never would have met Meghan, from whom I have learned and keep learning, so much! Who knew that there IS life after sugar and ice cream! Great post and I couldn’t agree more.

Thank you for sharing! My own life changed completely when I got Lyme Disease. In the process of healing (which is still ongoing) I changed not only my diet and my habits, but also my friends, my relationships, and my spiritual practice. It's been lonely and scary at times, but I've somehow become a kinder, more grateful, more peaceful person and everyone in my family noticed. Not to mention that my new (is it new after three years?) eating habits would keep a fully healthy person living to 100, so I figure I have a pretty good shot at it. Like Shannon up above, I probably never would have given up soda and sugar had I not gotten ill. The blessing of illness and disease can sometimes be difficult to feel when things are really hard, but allowing the process to transform us and soften us rather than calcify and paralyze us is one of the greatest gifts in this world.
