A FODMAPS elimination phase might look something like this… Breakfast: Oats with banana and nutbutter Quinoa with strawberries and sweet cashew sauce Chai chia oats Quinoa granola with almond milk Millet toast with cashew spread Savory corn grits with nutritional yeast “cheese” sauce Tofu scramble on a GF tortilla PB&J bagel (Udi’s bagels are GF … Continue reading
This quinoa quiche is so delicious it’s worth (re)sharing. This is the second time I’ve made it this week. It’s just too yummy. Rather than make individual ramekins, I used a pie pan. Same recipe, different container, same stellar outcome. Ingredients [1 pie or two 6" ramekins] 1 cup (pre) cooked quinoa 1/4 cup butternut … Continue reading
I recently posted about ingredient deal breakers on my other blog, but I wanted to elaborate more on the specifics of why I’m choosing to limit or omit certain ingredients. I studied the ingredient list for this Clif MoJo bar forever. It’s long, that’s for sure and has tons of [processed] ingredients. Sure, it’s organic, … Continue reading
This is not a recipe. It’s completely measurement-free. Here’s the assembly in photo format… GF cocoa rice crisp cereal *It’s not certified gluten free, but the ingredients are GF, so the only source of gluten would be from contamination in it’s processing/production. Basically, I’m guessing Whole Foods didn’t want to pay more to get certified … Continue reading
Earlier tonight there was a live twitter chat coordinated by the FODMAP guru, Patsy Catsos. I have recapped some of the discussion below, highlighting the points that I was most interested to discover. Hopefully there will be many more of these chats to come because I found it so helpful. Plus it was cool knowing … Continue reading
An introduction is necessary… 99% of the time I have the following things in my fridge: Greens (spinach and/or kale being the staples) Quinoa (made in bulk in the rice cooker at the beginning of the work week) Seitan Squash (my friend supplied me with a [free] box of butternut squash in October and I’ve … Continue reading
Hello! Many of you may be here because you have been following me on Hungry Hungry Hippie. And to the rest of you, welcome to my new site! I decided to start a separate blog focusing on the intricacies of my FODMAPs journey. I’m still learning as I go, but I’ve been having such success … Continue reading
Another Clean Food success story. Since I was working on the 25th, Kyle made me Christmas dinner, which included Terry Walters’ skillet cornbread recipe. He made it in a casserole dish instead, with a few changes, indicated below. Clean Food Cornbread 1/2 cup corn flour 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour … Continue reading
I miss apples. During my elimination phase of fodmaps, I realized that certain snacks in certain combinations have been hard on my digestive system. It’s hard for someone who doesn’t have GI issues to understand, but I’ve been trying to figure it out, bite by bite, and even though I’m still thrown off every once … Continue reading
Being veg*n and monitoring fodmaps is a bit tricky. Without animal meat (or the galactans category, aka beans/legumes), there isn’t much left to provide adequate protein…or so I thought. Here’s the loop-hole: Seitan. “But that’s made with vital wheat gluten!?!” you say. “You can’t have wheat because it has FODMAPS!” First of all, well done, … Continue reading
