Beans
I think a post on beans is due. This is not going to be super conclusive because I’m still not even sure about everything – all I can offer is my experiences thus far. Tofu is fine. Tempeh is fine. I don’t have to watch the ways I eat them usually unless it involves a … Continue reading
FODMAPs friendly family dinner
I just posted the recipes for this meal on my other blog. The (vegan, gluten free) menu: Stuffed Bell Peppers Creamed Corn Tomato & Avocado salad Chocolate Coconut Macaroons I had no GI issues whatsoever after this meal and everyone (vegan and non-vegans) enjoyed it, so I wanted to elaborate a bit on the FODMAPs … Continue reading
Nuts for nuts
Fact: I have been spending an embarrassing amount of $$$ on the gourmet nuts from the WF bulk bins. As a reader so brilliantly pointed out, these are pretty much the easiest thing to make. What took me so long to get my act together and make these? Who knows. But holy crap they … Continue reading

I loved the sunflower seed flavor. It had a nice crunchy texture and (unlike other raw products I’ve tried) it wasn’t … Continue reading

For as long as I can remember I had GI symptoms, alternating between diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, the works. I didn’t discuss it … Continue reading
Elimination vs. Challenge phase
Recently, I got a few questions from others using a low FODMAPs diet to manage their IBS. With their permission, I’m going to share the Q & A session(s). I am brand-spankin’-new to FODMAPs and am 1 week into the elimination phase. And totally full-blown into the frustration phase! How long did you stay on … Continue reading
