I love food, but even more, I love being healthy. Eating real, whole foods is important to me as I navigate the complexities of my GI intolerances. I'm learning as I go and sharing it all here with the hope that others can benefit from my path.

FODMAPs and Granola

  This is my newest obsession: Udi’s gluten free blueberry cashew granola clusters.  I love me some clusters.  I was nervous about both the inulin and honey in the ingredients, neither of which are FODMAPs friendly, but in moderate portions I tolerated them fine.  I think brown rice syrup is actually the primary sweetener.  Cashews … Continue reading »

Low FODMAP styles

I just started this page to keep track of what products I’ve tried and found to be FODMAPs safe.  If you’re looking for help stocking a FODMAPs friendly kitchen, check it out.  The tab will remain there, and I’ll update as I go.   There are a few ways I approach my low FODMAPs style … Continue reading »

A dandy morning

So I’ve been trying to get off caffeine.  I love coffee, but because I’m breast feeding now (and I read that the half life of caffeine in a newborn is 2-5 days – I know, right?!?!).  So it’s adios java.  For now. In the meantime, I got Dandy Blend to try as a stand in.  … Continue reading »

FODMAPS, GAPS, Primal, Paleo, SCD

Ok, so at first glance there seems to be a lot of overlap between these diets.  They all emphasize meals high in protein and fat, while limiting carbohydrates.  But if you break it down, they are definitely different.  And based on what your focus is (ie gut health), you should really know why you are … Continue reading »

Pancake for one

In case you missed it, here’s a recipe I recently posted on my other site that’s FODMAPs friendly.  I’ve had it multiple times this past week so I can vouch for it being both tasty and also GI safe (for me). It only yields one (big) pancake.  So double or triple as needed to feed … Continue reading »

I recently posted a recipe for stuffed sweet potatoes on my other blog and figured I’d share a way to make them FODMAPs friendly over here.  You can see the original recipe post here. Stuffed Sweet Potatoes [vegan, gluten free] … Continue reading »

Q&A

I get emails pretty frequently about FODMAPs stuff…and I am always nervous to answer the questions because I’M NOT AN EXPERT.  But every once in a while I think that maybe others would like to know my answers.  IBS sucks and I know for certain that I want all the info I can find.  So … Continue reading »

The Monash University FODMAPs App

This is a big deal guys! I just downloaded the app from iTunes (it’s not available for androids yet), and even though I was a little skeptical of the $9.99 price tag, I’m glad that the funds are all going to further research. The app is called the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet. So far, … Continue reading »

My definition of “low”

I get a lot of questions about how much I can personally tolerate in terms of FODMAPs.  I know this is because I have a blog and show many of my meals, but I’m always reluctant to answer these questions with specific details because each person is different.  My IBS and my GI tract are … Continue reading »
