Oh my gosh…I am so glad you’re okay! How incredibly scary, I can’t even imagine! I am so glad you’ve made nutrition and health your passion…when you have a story like yours, “passion” is so much deeper!

My friends think that I am CRAZY for always checking to make sure the food I am eating has not expired or that dairy products are properly cooled. I am so happy that everything turned out alright for you :)

Terrible experience, but a wonderful writer.
… “and the preciousness of life will prevail!”
I heard that so much throughout high school from an English teacher. It made me think of what you had to say as well.

I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through this, but I am glad that this made you so much more aware of the food that you put in your body and I am sure it will make a stronger and healthier person for the future!!

Thanks for sharing that! I had E.Coli last year, the week before my wedding. Everyone thought it was nerves, but I figured when I couldn’t eat anything, and was still in the bathroom constantly, something was up. I had never felt that bad before. I could barely move. I was in the hospital twice in the week – the first time to try and figure out what had happened, and the second time I was hooked up to an IV because I was so dehydrated. It was a horrible experience.

Luckily a few days before the wedding I started to feel better – I could keep food down at least! And then I ate and ate on my honeymoon, happy to not be eating and then throwing up crackers.

Since then I think I’ve figured out what caused it and I’m so thankful to have my health now and I try to be extra cautious when I’m preparing food.

Wow…This is a great post that I hope more people read. After watching Food Inc, I have become more aware of where my food comes from.

You got a second chance and I’m glad you are helping others be aware through your blog.

I’ll never forget watching you being wheeled into the ICU and hooked up to multiple lines. You were sooo brave – and sooo scared.
We in your family are so very proud of you.

That was a very scary time… I remember it well.
