I LOVE tea. Or as I recently learned from tea aficionados, I love “herbal infusions.” If you are in the company of tea experts, the word “tea” is used exclusively for brews coming from the tea plant (think white tea, black tea, and green tea). But personally, if I infuse plants in water, I call…

10 Quick Takeaways- NUNM SIBO Symposium 2018
For the past several years, I have attended the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) SIBO Symposium in Portland, Oregon (that’s where I live!). Each year, I make a point to write a post highlighting some of my key takeaways from the conference. Here are posts from previous years: 15 Quick Takeaways- NUNM SIBO Symposium…
Italian Herb Crispy Skin Chicken Thighs (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)
Cooking on weeknights doesn’t happen for me very often. There just isn’t time for that in my schedule. Instead, I like to spend my weeknights playing racquetball, catching a yoga class, or lifting weights (AKA…socializing) with a friend. But sometimes I am feeling inspired to eat a warm, freshly prepared low FODMAP meal and need…
4-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Low FODMAP, GF, Vegan)
Do you know what I love most about Valentine’s day? Grocery stores finally start carrying good-looking strawberries after the winter hiatus. Strawberry season here in Oregon does not begin until early summer. But you wouldn’t want to use Oregon berries in this recipe anyways. They tend to be very sweet, small, and flavorful, but have…
Akkermansia Muciniphila: An Important Microbe in Gut Disorders?
Is it just me or have you also been hearing more about Akkermansia muciniphila recently? I suspect that the increased chatter about this microorganism has something to do with the emergence and expansion of direct-to-consumer gut microbiome testing companies such as Ubiome. More specifically, I have encountered several individuals with IBS and/or SIBO whose Ubiome…
Crockpot Wild Rice, Chicken, & Kale Stew (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)
Creating low FODMAP crockpot recipes is a challenge. So it’s a good thing for you that I like challenges! The reason it’s quite challenging to make delicious low FODMAP crockpot recipes is that the key ingredients for savory soups/stews (onion and garlic) are off-limits. Additionally, many soup/stew recipes use broth. My preference is to use…
Turkey Veggie Herb Burgers (Low FODMAP, GF, DF, SCD)
Making your own homemade SIBO freezer meals is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to managing SIBO and IBS with diet. Let’s face it- making all of your meals from scratch every day is not realistic. Especially when you work full time (or even part-time!), aren’t comfortable in the kitchen, or have health problems that…
Indian Butter Chicken & Vegetable Curry (Low FODMAP, GF, DF)
There’s nothing I love quite as much as a one-dish low FODMAP meal. Especially when it involves warming, healing spices and requires less than 10 minutes of prep time! Having recipes like this one as part of your SIBO repertoire can be an absolute lifesaver when time is tight, but you still want to nourish…
Creamy No-Moo Mashed Potatoes (Low FODMAP, GF, Vegan)
Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes? No thank you! If you follow a dairy-free low FODMAP diet for IBS and/or SIBO, this recipe may be just what you are looking for in order to indulge in the Thanksgiving celebration without the regret of symptoms. Normal Mashed Potatoes Mashed potatoes are typically made using milk or cream to give…
Pomegranate Celeriac Salad (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)
Does anyone else get really excited seeing Thanksgiving recipes pass through their social media feed? Especially when they are creative, low FODMAP Thanksgiving creations? I sure do! I have fond memories of Thanksgiving. My mom has always gone all out- taking a few days off work to prep for the feast and deliver an impressive…
