But, Danielles symptoms didnt go away.

In fact, flare ups caused her to lose a lot of weight and she required frequent hospitalizations.

She decided she had to save herself.

She started by changing her diet one small step at a time.

Her diet limitations left her feeling like she couldnt enjoy tasty meals anymore.

So she set out to create recipes that tasted good while still allowing her to stick to her diet.

She discovered other people were interested in her recipes so she started sharing her recipes.

The popularity of her blog led to a cookbook, and ultimately, she became a bestselling author.

But, she was willing to try anyway.

She knew changing her diet couldnt hurt.

Danielle is mentally strong because she didnt give up on herself.

She was willing to conduct experiments on her diet to help her discover what worked best for her.

And now, shes sharing her knowledge with other people.
