Robin's Thoughts...

Erin and I have been working on NoMoreCrohns since clear back in 2007 when she built the original site, with my help on the recipes. We built it because, ever since her amazing recovery from Crohn's through following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, people had been asking us for information about the diet she was on! Even though I'm not on the diet myself, I have been her support person, so I'm just as sold on it as she is! We decided to write down everything we know about the diet in one place - and that's how NoMoreCrohns happened! It has only grown from there.

Why Do We Do NoMoreCrohns?
​
​We recently had the pleasure of meeting some of you who have been helped by NoMoreCrohns when we went to the SCDROCKS conference.  Meeting you helped us realize you might be interested in knowing who does what at NoMoreCrohns, and why we even do it, so we're going to give you the inside scoop!

While some people coach their kid’s soccer teams or volunteer at their local drama group, we choose to put a lot of our extra energy into helping more people find out about and successfully follow the SCD! It’s so rewarding and we love helping people. Erin gets to share her experience on the diet and I get to use my interests in cooking and graphic design. We both love to write and we use this skill in many ways. Since we live in two different states, Erin and I enjoy having this project to work on together. We are motivated to help, serve and create, and NoMoreCrohns is the result!

What Does Erin Do?
​Erin is the face of NoMoreCrohns and without her amazing health after being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease then following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, the website wouldn’t exist. She created the original website and is a busy mom who is homeschooling her three boys, doing most of the family cooking and just living a normal busy life. She uses time in the evenings and weekends to write her “MyThrivingKitchen” blog, post on Instagram, keep up with our Facebook presence and answer people’s questions through consultations. Erin enjoys working as a liaison with companies who have products that would be of interest to people on the SCD. She also sometimes prepares, evaluates and photographs new recipes for our publications. Erin is highly motivated to help people get through the learning curve and rough patches as they head for success on the diet.

What Does Robin Do?
​I have always been motivated by helping my daughter Erin with the diet, and that desire has naturally spread to helping everyone who wants to be successful on the diet by providing yummy recipes that are pretty easy and making the website useful and beautiful. I enjoy cooking and creating in the kitchen as well as on the computer, so NoMoreCrohns as it is today is a result of my creative graphic design and web design skills. I like to do big projects, so that was the power behind developing and photographing the website recipes, six magazines in 2009, all the booklets in 2011, Favorite Chicken Recipes in 2012, rebuilding the website in 2012, The Flavor First Cookbook in 2015 and the 24 Easy Weekly Menus with Erin in 2017. I continue to update and maintain the website and am working on cookbook projects for 2019, including our "Food With Friends" cookbook, out in May, 2019!
