In the heart of Limited Edition Land, where every animal was unique and special, there lived a koala named Sam. Sam loved climbing trees and munching on eucalyptus leaves more than anything else in the world. However, Sam had a special condition called Celiac Disease, which meant he couldn’t eat gluten, a protein found in many grains like wheat, barley, and rye.

One sunny day, Sam was feeling a bit down. His friends, worried about him, gathered around. “What’s wrong, Sam?” asked Mia the Monkey, swinging down from a branch.

“I’m just feeling a bit sick,” replied Sam. “My tummy hurts, and I feel tired.”

“Oh no, that’s not good,” said Leo the Lion, looking concerned. “Maybe you need to see the Wise Owl. She knows a lot about feeling better.”

So, Sam went to see the Wise Owl, who listened carefully to his symptoms. “It sounds like your Celiac Disease is acting up,” said the Wise Owl. “But don’t worry, Sam. I have something that might help.”

The Wise Owl gave Sam a special diet plan that was gluten-free. Sam learned that he needed to avoid certain foods like bread, pasta, and cakes, but he could still enjoy many delicious and safe foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, and gluten-free grains like rice and corn.

To help Sam feel better, the Wise Owl also taught him ten affirmations to practice whenever he wasn’t feeling well:

1. I am strong, and I can overcome any challenge.
2. My body knows how to heal, and I trust it to do so.
3. I am grateful for the food that nourishes me.
4. I listen to my body and give it what it needs.
5. I am surrounded by love and support from my friends and family.
6. I take care of myself because I deserve to feel good.
7. I am not defined by my illness; I am defined by my strength.
8. I am patient with myself as I navigate my health journey.
9. I am brave, and I face each day with courage.
10. I am grateful for each moment of wellness.
    
    

With the Wise Owl’s guidance and his friends’ support, Sam followed his special diet plan and practiced his affirmations every day. Soon enough, Sam’s tummy aches disappeared, and he had more energy than ever before.

Sam realized that having Celiac Disease didn’t make him any less special. In fact, it made him even more unique, just like all the other animals in Limited Edition Land. He was grateful for his friends, his health, and the delicious gluten-free treats he could enjoy.

From then on, Sam lived happily in Limited Edition Land, climbing trees, munching on his gluten-free eucalyptus leaves, and spreading positivity wherever he went.
