▼Healing Leaky Gut: A Journey to Wellness
This article explores a personal journey of healing a leaky gut through dietary changes, marking day 24 of a 30-day project. The author shares their experience of increased energy levels, a primary goal of the project, and their plan to continue the journey beyond the initial 30 days, reintroducing foods like eggs, coffee, and chocolate if their body allows. The article includes a delicious recipe for meatballs and squash pasta, a healthier alternative to traditional pasta, and showcases the author's progress and motivation to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
One big difference since I started this project is that I feel much more energetic now. And that was one of my goals when I started. It's good to see a difference, because it really motivates me to continue eating healthier, even in the future!
This project is not meant to end abruptly after 30 days, I see it rather as a test on many levels and that I really give my body a break from everything that could create inflammation and irritation. Continuation will follow even after the first 30 days, when for example eggs, coffee and chocolate will be back in the diet, if my body allows.
Stay tuned! :-)

Instructions
Cut the squash or zucchini into very thin slices. Place on paper towels and salt. Leave for about 60 minutes.
Mix minced meat with salt and fresh herbs. Roll into meatballs. Place in an ovenproof tray, place in the oven at 200 degrees, about 15 minutes.
Fry the bacon until crispy. Leave to cool. Cut into small pieces.

So much tastier than regular pasta and it's really fun to work with colours and new flavours in the kitchen. The kids liked the meatballs, but preferred the regular gluten-free pasta to the squash pasta:-)
