    • About Me

      My name is Barbara, I have been diagnosed with fibromalgia/CF/Neurally mediated hypotension. I also deal with on a daily bases with the reality of the rarest forms of Crohn�s Disease. To be precise: Gastroduadnal Crohn�s disease. Which has resulted in my developing Gastroparesis, in other words half my stomach is paralyzed, which means I can�t eat like other people do. As a result, I developed a website designed with recipes in mine for those that suffer from Gastroparesis.
