The Video When you start the low Fodmap diet for irritable bowel syndrome and move from a diet which is hurting you to a healthy diet which eliminates IBS symptoms, it is possible that you will have withdrawals symptoms from some of the foods you have been eating like sugary foods and caffeinated drinks. Have a look at my video to learn more. Transcript of the Video – Headaches on the Low Fodmap Diet Today I'm going to talk to you about withdrawal symptoms when you go on the low FODMAP diet. Many of my clients when they start the low FODMAP diet, they complain of headaches and other aches and pains that are unrelated to their IBS symptoms of bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation. When you go from a diet which has actually actively been hurting you, and in fact, you probably haven't been absorbing many of the nutrients from the food at all, because it's been going straight down until your large bowel, where it's fermenting, and you start eating good healthy food that will … [Read more...] about Headaches on the Low Fodmap Diet & Pesce Finto

Banana Cranberry Mousse – Low Fodmap & Gluten-Free
When my son was small, my mother used to make him banana ice cream with nothing but bananas by pushing frozen bananas through a meat mincer. It came out as a wonderful tasting ice cream that fooled everyone. No one could guess that it was nothing but bananas. Anyway, I wondered if I could replicate it without a mincer. Well, actually, the answer is no. So I have made a mousse instead. I wanted to give the bananas a little more flavour so added dried cranberries and chopped them into the frozen bananas with a blender. Then I gave the mixture a little texture as well as extra flavour by adding coconut and flaked almonds. By using the frozen bananas, the mixture is very cold which resembles a very soft ice cream.

Banana Mousse Cake – grain, nut, dairy and refined sugar-free
The banana coconut loaf I made on Saturday is almost finished - it was that popular. So I have had to bake again to make sure we have enough for the week. Today, Monday, is a holiday here in Auckland, New Zealand and for me the perfect activities when I have some spare time are baking and photographing. I have made the same base vanilla cake you can find here, which comes from Carol Lovett's e-book Indulge and then I devised a wonderful banana mousse for the topping and used a few leftovers for the filling between the layers. The banana mousse is made from only 4 ingredients and can be used by itself as a dessert. For the filling, I whizzed together in my trusty mini food processor the lemon curd left over from my lemon meringue tarts, and the leftover coconut topping and strawberry puree from the banana coconut loaf and it made an interesting tart pink mixture which contrasts beautifully with the sweetness of the bananas. Now, I know that the blueberries I have placed on top … [Read more...] about Banana Mousse Cake – grain, nut, dairy and refined sugar-free
