Remember back when I thought my body was through with coffee? Ha! What a joke. Obviously I was in a weird place… I’m still attempting to keep my daily dose to one cup(ish). Some days it’s no problem, but other days (ie work days), I get major hankerings for an afternoon pick-me-up in the form of caffeine. I got this in the mail last week (a perk of being in the Foodbuzz Tastemaker program). Two of their medium roasts will now be available at local grocery stores…and I get to try them!

Let’s talk FODMAPS

As I’ve mentioned before, I have been reading up on the low FODMAPS approach to managing IBS symptoms. Just in the past few weeks I’ve already started to notice relief – and that’s without doing the full fledged elimination phase. Which is what I wanted to discuss today. Reminder: FODMAPS are Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, and Mono-saccharides And Polyols. In more plain terminology, they are certain kinds of carbohydrates, which include lactose, fructose, fructans, polyols, and galactans. The specifics of why certain sugars, starches, and fibers are more irritating to people with IBS gets a little… Read more >
