Stop Blaming Your Last Meal

Making Sense of Diverticulitis Food Fears and Conflicting Advice

You ate yogurt yesterday. Today, you're having a flare. Does that mean the yogurt caused it?

Before you cross another food off your list, you deserve to understand what the evidence actually says. This is the book for the person who is tired of being told to avoid one more thing and wants clear information to make informed decisions.

  • What research says about food, including the difference between long-term risk and blaming yesterday's dinner
  • What to eat when symptoms begin, during a flare, and as you return to normal meals
  • What WBC, GRAN#, and CRP results can tell you, and what they can't
  • Questions to ask about antibiotics, CT scans, and surgery
  • When symptoms need medical attention

Wonderfully Made

Growing Into the Girl God Created You to Be

Growing up can feel like a lot.

Friendships change. Her body is changing. Big feelings can seem to come out of nowhere. And somewhere in the middle of it all, she’s trying to figure out who she is and who she’s becoming.

Wonderfully Made is a faith-filled guided workbook created especially for tween girls ages 9–13. With the warmth of a big sister rather than the voice of a lecture, it gives her a safe place to think, write, pray, ask questions, and grow into the girl God created her to be.

Anchored in Psalm 139:14, Wonderfully Made reminds her of one truth she can carry through every awkward, exciting, confusing part of growing up:

She was created intentionally, wonderfully, and on purpose by a God who does not make mistakes.

Paperback · $29.00

  • How I’m Changing: approaching her changing body with grace instead of shame

  • My Friendships: comparison, conflict, belonging, and changing relationships
  • My Feelings: understanding and processing big emotions
  • My Purpose: discovering her gifts, interests, and dreams
  • My Faith Journey: prayer, doubt, trust, and growing closer to God
  • My Family: the relationships shaping who she is becoming

What’s Inside

Short Scripture-based devotionals are paired with relatable “Real Girls, Real Struggles” stories, guided journal prompts, hands-on activities, weekly challenges, habit trackers, doodle and free-write pages, and closing prayers.

  • 8 guided sections on identity, body, health, friendships, feelings, purpose, faith, and family
  • Scripture throughout using the NIrV translation
  • Guided journal prompts with generous writing space
  • Weekly challenges and habit trackers
  • Doodle and free-write pages
  • A signable Wonderfully Made Pledge
  • A special note to parents

This isn’t a book about becoming prettier, more popular, more confident, or more like everyone else.

It’s about helping her discover that she was never meant to become someone else in the first place.

Written by Danae De Guelle, Certified Health & Wellness Coach, founder of Living Proof Protocols, and author of the Wonderfully Made children’s series and Nourishing the Temple.

Perfect for girls ages 9–13, Wonderfully Made makes a meaningful birthday, Christmas, baptism, or “just because” gift, a mother-daughter devotional companion, or a personal keepsake she can fill with her thoughts, prayers, dreams, and memories as she grows.

Because growing up isn’t about figuring out how to fit in. It’s about discovering who God created you to be.

About the Author

Written From the Inside of It

It started with diverticulitis. The flares, the fear, the feeling that my own body had turned on me. That road led to a colon resection, then a hernia repair, and then the necrotizing MRSA infection that followed it. Seven debridement surgeries to survive that one alone. Nine surgeries in all, and years of learning to trust my body again.

Then the diverticulitis came back. Nobody had told me it could. What I was handed was another round of antibiotics, and then another, a cycle with no end in sight. I knew antibiotics weren't the answer to a problem that kept returning. So I turned to functional medicine, and that's what finally broke the cycle.

Traditional medicine kept me alive.
Functional medicine saved my life.

Every one of these books is written on a single principle: sometimes traditional medicine doesn't have all the answers. I'm living proof of that. What actually brought me back wasn't a pamphlet or a platitude. It was the real, specific, hard-won work of healing, and that's what lives on every page.

Living Proof Publishing exists because that kind of knowledge, earned the hard way, deserves a home that treats it seriously. Not wellness fluff. Not a diagnosis handout. The real, specific, occasionally funny truth about what it takes to heal.
