Food in the Making brings together more than 20 years of lived experience, practical food guidance, and thoughtful approaches to help you explore a way forward.
I know how isolating digestive problems can become, especially when the people around you don't understand what you're going through.
That's why I created Food in the Making.
I want this to be a place where you feel heard, where your experiences matter, and where you can find practical guidance, encouragement, and resources to help you move forward.
You don't need to have my diagnosis or follow the same path I did. Your starting point, your needs, and your goals are your own.
You just have to be willing to take that first step.
And wherever you're starting from, I hope what you find here helps you feel more confident about the possibilities ahead.
Feel Better. Eat With Confidence. Live More Fully.

YOUR FOOD PATHWAY
OANNI is the food progression I developed through more than 20 years of living with digestive disease. It begins with a thoughtful foundation of foods and makes room for what you learn about your own body along the way.
There are two ways to explore it: a step-by-step Progression and a more direct Reset.
A FIRST LOOK AT OANNI
When you're unsure what to eat, even an ordinary meal can feel complicated. This free guide is being revised to offer practical food ideas and a starting point for exploring OANNI.

A thoughtful, step-by-step approach.
For those navigating more challenging digestive issues, the OANNI Progression provides a structured way to begin with foundational foods and gradually explore additional foods as you discover what your body consistently tolerates.
A fresh start with a more direct approach.
The OANNI Reset offers a different way to explore the same food foundation, bringing together practical guidance, recipes, and everyday strategies to help you make meaningful changes.
PRACTICAL NEEDS FOR THE DAYS YOU NEED IT
Bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and trapped air can affect far more than meals. I've created articles and free trackers or checklists to help you notice patterns and find practical ways to navigate everyday life.
