"I had really bad gut issues when I was younger. I was crying every day, and it felt like all the foods I ate were destroying my body. Doctors diagnosed me with I.B.S. but told me there wasn't much they could do."
"The crunchy community is mostly made up of people who have had health issues in the past. Instead of taking medication, they change their lifestyle and get back to the roots of ancestral living."
"I really try to preach bioindividuality that's my big thing. Everyone has different health needs. I have food intolerances, so I have to be really careful about what I eat."
"I don't go out of my way to be political because that's not why people are following me."
Ava Noe, an 18-year-old high school student, runs an Instagram account focused on crunchy living after struggling with gut issues and being diagnosed with I.B.S.
