Happy #internationalwomensday! Women are strong, fierce, powerful and brave - and the women we have met through this amazing chronic illness community have been nothing short of that. Our mom has been our biggest advocate and has taught us the importance of advocating for ourselves as well throughout our health journey. We wouldn’t be where we are today with out her and the support of each other 💪🏻💪🏻

I’ve never felt great drinking alcohol but when

I’ve never felt great drinking alcohol but when my mast cell issues rose up, drinking became an instant no-go for me. I would get major flushing, itching and stomach aches anytime I partook. It’s been a lot of trail and error figuring out my histamine issues over the years, but in doing so, I’ve been able to know what does and does not work for me - including alcohols. I’m still by no means a drinker, but I can now have a glass of something if I’m out and I know I’m not going to feel horrendous if I prep in the right way.

⁣I threw together a little chicken pot pie adjacent meal (play off of a @pinchofyum recipe). It’s low histamine (especially if you omit the wine!) and super comforting/easy to throw together. ⠀
⠀
Recipe:⠀
• Couple tablespoons of butter ⠀
• 2 Shallots ⠀
• 1 Teaspoon of thyme ⠀
• 1 Mirepoix mix fromTJs (or equivalent veggies)⠀
• 1/3 cup of flour⠀
• Splash of white wine (omit if you’re being very good about histamine, but it’s just a bit and you burn it off)⠀
• 2 Cups of milk⠀
• 1 1/2 Cups of chicken broth ⠀
• 3-4 Chicken breasts⠀
• 1-1 1/2 cup of peas (I used fresh but frozen works really well)⠀
• 1 package of ready to make biscuits • Salt and pepper to taste⠀
⠀
Cook and shred 3 chicken breasts, then put aside. ⠀
⠀
Sauté the shallots with butter and thyme until they start to turn translucent then add the mirepoix mix. Cook on medium heat until veggies are tender then add in the flour. Give it a stir and add the wine, wait for it all to burn off, then add in the milk and chicken broth. ⠀
⠀
After this just toss in the shredded chicken breasts and peas and bake it in the oven at 350 for 20-25 min. ⠀
⠀
Make the biscuits according to the package and serve with one topped on top of your chicken pot pie mixture and enjoy!

Over a decade into this chronic illness journey and we still get a lot of unsolicited advice. While some suggestions are meant well, it’s important to remember that every patient is on their own health journey. Pushing through, staying positive and trying yoga are (unfortunately) not magic cures. What are you tired of hearing?

I go in and out of waves of consistently using my red light machine and whenever I’m not using it- I’m always frustrated at myself because there’s TOO many benefits from just sitting in front of something to not use it all the time🤦🏻‍♀️
Some of the benefits:
- Increased Collagen production
-Reduce inflammation and pain
-Enhanced wound healing and tissue repair
-Improved mood and reduced symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
-Increased energy levels
Personal fav: It makes that skin glow ✨✨

Safe to say we’ve been a little absent. In hinds

Safe to say we’ve been a little absent. In hindsight we 100% should have alerted you guys to the fact that we were going to be a little MIA (and thank you for those who wrote such sweet messages checking in) but we honestly didn’t even really intentionally plan on it…it just kind of happened. And kept happening. And the longer it happened the easier it was to let it keep happening and the more intimidating it was to go back. Social media sometimes can be mentally draining and feeling like you need to put contact out can take away from that genuine feeling of wanting to share something, and we think that’s where we were at a little bit. But in our unintentional absence, we’ve really missed so much about sharing and taking and being a part of this community. We want to up our presence in a deliberate way and continue to share things we find helpful and keep openly discussing all the things we usually vent to each other about that comes with chronic illnesses. We’re back!
