If you struggle with constipation, you know the feeling of desperation that starts to set in after two, three, four days have passed without a bowel movement. Each day that passes you feel more bloated, backed-up and uncomfortable.  “If only I could just go”. We’ve all been there at some point. Unfortunately, laxatives are the […]

I’ve always been a big fan of oats in the morning but they can get a little boring if you make the same old oatmeal every day. This tropical variation has been my favourite lately! For those that need a little help in the poop department: it’s full of ingredients that are known to relieve […]

Store-bought sauces can be problematic for those with IBS due to high FODMAP ingredients like onion and garlic. I’m a fairly lazy cook so I’ve always shied away from making my own as it seemed too labour intensive. Once I got over the two extra minutes it takes to put together the food processor, I got […]

One of the first things I look at when working with someone who has IBS or IBS-like symptoms is the state of the gut microbiome. Dysbiosis, a term used to describe an imbalanced gut microbiome, is one of the most common factors in IBS symptoms developing. Dysbiosis can look like one or a combination of: […]

Why have boring old chia pudding when you can have CEREAL MILK chia pudding?! A throwback to my childhood, this chia pudding is the right amount of sweet thanks to toasted cereal that is soaked in the milk beforehand. For the cereal, I used Nature’s Path Organic Whole O’s because it isn’t too sweet. The […]

For me, if I’m going to cook it has to be an all-in-one dish and take less than 30 minutes because: 1) I’m only ever cooking for one and can’t be bothered to make something elaborate 2)) I don’t have a lot of free time to spend in the kitchen   So anything ‘one-pot’ or […]

I LOVE anything with peanut butter and as far as savoury goes, this is the most addictive dressing you will ever make. I literally can’t stop eating it with a spoon when I make it. The original recipe comes from Once Upon a Chef and I’ve adapted it to suit a Low FODMAP diet. The original has […]

As someone who has temperamental blood sugar and is always on the go, I need a snack that is easily transported, easy to digest and that has a solid amount of macronutrients (protein, carbs and fat) to tide me over until my next meal. A good protein bar checks all those boxes. Alas, it’s hard […]

The second there is even a slight hint of Fall in the air, I throw my salads to the side and start roasting, slow cooking and making soups. Fall is my absolute favourite, and if I’m honest, it’s mostly because I can justify eating winter squash again (well, that and Halloween!). Kabocha is my favourite squash- […]
