UC + LDN Update, Tips for Sticking With Anti-Candida Diet, Staying on Track While Traveling, Plant-Based Protein Powder

Hey guys! Welcome to this next edition of CNC Instagram Live. I have a great group of questions for you today, so if you’d like to hear them, stay tuned and listen in!     LDN and UC Update I received a few variations of this question and am happy to talk about it because I’ve got a lot to tell! LDN (knock on wood) has potentially kicked in, though it’s hard to know for certain because I started it about 5-7 days before I started the anti-candida diet . Something is definitely working, though, because I am feeling better – maybe the combination of the two?  I’m not 100% yet, but I have reached the point where I’m speaking with my GI doctor about getting off of Entivyo. Of course, I need to be at a stable place and my CRP (an inflammation marker) is still kind of high.

Friday Night In We toyed with the idea of doing a Family Fun Friday night out to dinner, but Thomas and I agreed that it sounded a lot more relaxing to stay home so Birch could crawl around on our semi-clean floors.
