This low FODMAP stir fry combines ginger chicken, homemade hoisin sauce, and stir-fried quinoa for an easy, flavourful IBS-friendly weeknight dinner.

The candida diet is an effective tool for getting Candida overgrowth under control- and if you have IBS, it could be a missing piece of your puzzle. One of the first things I look at when working with a new client is the state of their gut microbiome. And one of the more common findings? […]

Finding a good low FODMAP protein bar is harder than it should be. In fact, most store-bought options contain high FODMAP ingredients like honey, chicory root, or high fructose corn syrup, which means they are completely off the table for anyone managing IBS through a low FODMAP elimination phase.

But when bloating after eating follows every single meal- regardless of what you eat, how much you eat, or how healthy you try to be- it stops feeling like nourishment and starts feeling like a punishment. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Bloating after eating […]

Diet plays a major role in controlling IBS symptoms but what that diet looks like exactly depends greatly on the person. An important thing to consider when looking at what to eat for IBS is the state of your gut microbiome.
