I had a hankering for something sweet the other day and these are the result. I keep my sugar intake so low it's mostly at zero these days but when a hankering comes over me, it's better to make something healthy rather than reach for something processed which will upset my stomach. Have a look at the ingredients and see if you can spot the only thing that is not completely healthy. Yes, the maple syrup. It is low Fodmap in small quantities so I know I won't have an issue with these but maple syrup is still sugar however low Fodmap it is. 5.0 from 3 reviews Peanut Butter & Cranberry Truffles – low Fodmap Print Author: Suzanne Perazzini Ingredients 3 cups instant oats 1 cup smooth peanut butter ½ cup maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla essence ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup walnuts, chopped Shredded coconut Method Mix together all the ingredients.

IBS Daily Journal & Carrot and Pumpkin Vegetarian Soup
The Video So what have I been up to now? I am always dreaming up new ways to help you sort your IBS issues and I have ONE MORE! This is such an obvious one that I am not sure why I haven't thought of it sooner. I always make my clients fill out a daily diary with a whole raft of information so that I can analyze it and identify food triggers and weaknesses in their routines. This is fundamental information for getting to the bottom of their issues and eventually getting them symptom-free. Without everything down on paper, it is almost impossible to see the patterns and rectify the mistakes and it's hard to build up a big picture of what is happening in your digestive system. This is one of the most important things you can do to help you eliminate your irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. You have to record what you eat and drink and your symptoms after each meal. On top of that you should be recording all the medication and supplements you take as well as your bowel … [Read more...] about IBS Daily Journal & Carrot and Pumpkin Vegetarian Soup
An Article on the Low Fodmap Diet & Meatloaf Roulade
A few months ago, I was approached to write an article about the low Fodmap diet for the Free-From Heaven magazine. Well, the issue has just been published and is out in shops for sale now. I am excited that they used my copy basically word for word and didn't change anything, which means all the information is accurate. That's the cover on the left in the image and the first page of my article on the right. They have even included a couple of my recipes in their entirety. They have made a lovely job of the layout too so I am a happy chappy. Meatloaf Roulade I got the idea for this from www.thehealthyfoodie.com but used quite different ingredients to make it low Fodmap. I pre-prepared it and left it in the fridge so I had nothing to do come dinnertime except stick it in the oven and take it out. It is a one-dish meal because it has the protein, carbs and veges all in together. It looks a bit messy in the photo and it did spill potato out one side but the rest held up pretty … [Read more...] about An Article on the Low Fodmap Diet & Meatloaf Roulade

In my video, I tell you the 4 traits of mental strength required to eliminate IBS symptoms fast. The Transcript The 4 Traits of Mental Strength Required To Eliminate IBS Symptoms FAST Why is mental strength important Because I know many of the people I speak to every day feel beaten down by the symptoms of IBS and don’t know how to change their circumstances. I felt like that for years too and I understand not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn’t even know a light existed back then. But it did, and does for you too! But what are the costs of remaining disempowered? What is your life like while you are in this frame of mind, living beaten down? That hopelessness, the humiliation and desperation, not to talk of the physical pain. So what are the benefits of creating or resurrecting … [Read more...] about 4 Traits of Mental Strength plus Chicken & Rice Soup
Dairy on the Low Fodmap Diet plus Pork Tonnato
The Video There is a lot of confusion around dairy on the low Fodmap diet and many think it needs to be completely cut out. I clarify this in my video. The Transcript Welcome. Every now and then I get someone criticize a recipe of mine because it has dairy in it. So I thought that today I would clear up once and for all this confusion so many people have where dairy on the low Fodmap diet is concerned. The low Fodmap diet is complicated – I know that well. But it is miraculous if you do it right and that’s not easy. Milk contains two substances which could potentially cause problems. The protein – casein or lactose – the sugar or carbohydrate which is the D in Fodmap – disaccharide. Those on the low Fodmap diet are concerned with the carbohydrates in food but just be aware that you could have an issue with the casein as well. The next thing I want to clarify is the difference between lactose intolerance and lactose malabsorption. If you are intolerant, then you should not have … [Read more...] about Dairy on the Low Fodmap Diet plus Pork Tonnato
How Long on the Elimination Stage plus Fennel, Walnut & Brie Tart
The Video I am often asked how long you should stay on the elimination stage of the Low Fodmap diet for irritable bowel syndrome. Many sites say 6-8 weeks but in most cases that is too long. It depends on how soon your symptoms disappear. Watch my video for more information. The Recipe I got creative tonight, and this tart is the result. I was pretty hot by the time it was cooked with a couple of new burns but the result was worth the effort. I used to eat a lot of fennel in Italy, both cooked and raw, and decided to use that as the vegetable for the tart. Then I added the brie because every tart needs cheese and walnuts for the crunch and the toasty flavour. I had fresh oregano growing by the window so threw in a small quantity of that - don't use too much or it will overpower the fennel flavour. I also had some coconut milk left over and used some in the custard mixture, but I could have added more and less of the lactose-free milk because the flavour wasn't that … [Read more...] about How Long on the Elimination Stage plus Fennel, Walnut & Brie Tart
