Abigail received her Associates in Culinary Arts and a Bachelors in Food Service Management from Johnson & Wales University in 2016. She was diagnosed with left-sided moderate/severe ulcerative colitis in 2014 shortly after a bad car accident. She has worked in several high-volume restaurants, one as a Sous Chef, and now works in food service for Novant Hospital, preparing food for the patients and guests. After much trial and error, Abigail started looking to include nutritional therapy in her IBD management in 2020. Being disappointed by most of the recipes she tried, she started her blog, Abigail Marie the Chef with IBD to create and share better IBD recipes. She has also incorporated a focus on lifestyle, new scientific research for IBD, new and emerging medications, as well as IBD awareness and sharing others journeys on her website. She has found that a multifaceted approach works best to manage her UC. This includes diet, lifestyle, stress management, movement, and medication. On top of that, advocating for your needs, and listening to your body are some of the most important things you can do besides finding your community for support. Abigails passion for helping provide recipes and resources for those with IBD can be seen in her work. In her spare time she enjoys baking, gardening, and developing and photographing new recipes for her blog.
Come on this crazy amazing journey with Abigail to managing chronic illness together!
