Tomatillo Salsa (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)

Definition: an often forgotten (yet important) element of eating with SIBO

I am currently half way through the first term of my Master’s in Nutrition program. Wow has time flown!

My apologies to my loyal followers for the lack of content over the past month- posts may be far and few between over the next year.  I have been busy learning all I can about the different body systems and the impact of different foods on either supporting or damaging them.

I have also gained a greater appreciation for the importance of making food taste good.  That may sound silly to some, but it is easy to become so focused on avoiding flavorful “problematic” SIBO foods such as onion and garlic and forget about how making food taste good influences the digestive process.

Have you ever noticed that you salivate more when a food smells good or you are excited about a meal?  Well this is actually an important first step in the digestive process- saliva contains a digestive enzyme called amylase which helps to break down carbohydrates.  So keep on (or start) salivating my friends!

When I came home from school today, my boyfriend had created this yummy low FODMAP, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, SCD-friendly tomatillo salsa with tomatillos we purchased from the farmer’s market this weekend.  It was delicious and I decided I must share the recipe with all of you!  So I asked him how he made it and whipped up the instructions.  Let’s give a big shout out to Amani for his courage to create a salsa recipe without using onion or garlic!

Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In ho Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In honor of May being National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, I decided to share about this connection I’ve noticed in case it helps anyone else. I included my story with allergies and insomnia, what the research says, and some things that have helped me (Neti pot and Allegra are only the tip of the iceberg). Go to BridgetownNutrition.com or find the link to my blog in my profile.

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱B NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱Between my husband and I, we have nearly four decades of experience suffering from headaches and migraines. BUT, we get them far less frequently than we used to. And dietary, lifestyle, and natural remedies are the reason. So I wrote up my top, research-based natural remedies for relief and prevention. Link is in my bio. #headache #migraine #naturalremedies

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life. 

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues. 

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles. 

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.
