Autoimmune disorder & extreme ulcerative colitis.
My name is Tessa and in May of 2018 I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease, ulcerative colitis. Up until then I felt like everything was fine, and then boom. I wasn’t fine anymore. I couldn’t keep weight on. I struggled to do daily tasks, or even play with my kids. I had no energy. Everything was turned upside down. I was on and off medication that didn’t work for me. I was told by 3 doctors that diet wouldn’t help me. Fast forward to the end of 2019 I was at an all time low. I was at 96 pounds, I struggle to even get out of bed, and I wasn’t even really living at all. That’s when I started working with Becka. She helped me in more ways than I one. I was so sick at that point that diet alone wouldn’t help me. I ended up in the hospital, but she was there for support every step of the way, which to me is worth it’s weight in gold. After finding the right medication things started to look better, but I found out quickly that nothing will work if I’m not feeding my body the right foods to heal, and doing exercises/meditation to manage stress. Becka helped me learn about the foods that my body needs to repair itself, and also which foods I need to avoid. My specific trigger foods, because everyone is different. I’m still learning and healing, but now I am at a healthy weight. I have more energy. My kids have their mom back, and I have an amazing support system and friend. Yes U can too!
