Cucumber Blueberry Salsa (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)

Common Nutritional Deficiencies on a SIBO Diet (Part 1)
This weekend I led a workshop to discuss meal planning strategies and nutritional deficiencies for those following a SIBO diet.

Homemade kale chips are easy to make and in my opinion, way more tasty (and less expensive) than store bought! The key is to bake them low and slow. Some recipes out there call for baking them for 10 minutes at a temperature such as 350 degrees. But in my experience, these chips burn easily…
Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)

Steamed Vegetables w/ Lemon Chive Butter (Low FODMAP, GF)
Have you ever seen someone count out beans? I am thinking they must have been a FODMAPer or an accountant! Or in my case, both! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the life I led before I did a 180 degree career change and started studying nutrition, I was on the path to…
