💌SAVE this for later if you’re vegetarian and on the low FODMAP diet!

🥑 Happy World Vegetarian Day!

🥜 If you think getting enough protein while being vegetarian is difficult, add the layer of needing to eat low FODMAP.

🫘 Many vegetarian sources of protein are naturally high in FODMAPs such as beans, lentils, and dairy.

🫶🏽 If you’re on the elimination phase of the FODMAP diet, try these low FODMAP vegetarian sources of protein:
- eggs
- lactose-free dairy
- nuts & seeds
- quinoa
- extra firm tofu

The low FODMAP diet is not completely free of beans & lentils.

Once you have reintroduced FODMAP foods like beans and lentils you can better understand your personal tolerance levels and triggers.

👉🏽 If you need help identifying your trigger foods, expanding your diet, and avoiding IBS flares, let’s chat!

I’m now accepting 3 more IBS Food Freedom clients for the last enrollment of the year!

Unpopular opinion 👀

🙀 Cutting foods is not the ONLY way to manage IBS symptoms.

🔎 1 out of 4 people with IBS find that diet does not impact their uncomfortable digestive symptoms.

💩 So even if you follow it perfectly, you could still be bloated, constipated, or running to the bathroom.

👇🏽 Here’s what most people forget.

Stress, sleep, hydration, pelvic floor health, your relationship with food, and movement can play just as big of a role in your digestive health as food 😮‍💨

💁🏽‍♀️ As an IBS dietitian, of course the low FODMAP diet is a tool in my IBS relief toolkit but it’s not always necessary or appropriate especially if you struggle with disordered eating.

If you’re tired of rigid diets and want to take a holistic and gentle nutrition approach to manage your tummy troubles, I’d love to support you 🙋🏽‍♀️

There’s something about soup that feels like a hug in a bowl. 🍲

But here’s the thing…soup isn’t just cozy.
It’s also one of the easiest Fast[ish] Foods to keep you nourished during a busy week.

Think about it:
✨ Make a big batch once, and you’ve got meals for days.
✨ Pair it with some crusty bread or rice, and you’ve got a balanced plate.
✨ Freeze a few portions and your future self will thank you on a hectic night.

This time of year, soup is one of our go-to strategies for clients who struggle with digestive symptoms and busy schedules.

It’s warm, gentle, and filling while providing you with easily digestible forms of fiber and protein.

Here are some of Nirvana .muslimah and Samina’s .ibs.dietitian favorite soups for fall:
🥣 Egyptian Red Lentil Soup
🍐 Butternut Squash Pear Soup
🍜 Afghan Aush
🌶️ Turkey Quinoa Chili
🥥 Spiced Chickpea Stew with Shrimp

✨ Comment “Soup” and we’ll send you think link with our favorite soup recipes!

DYK all fiber supplements even from the same company are not created equally?

I regularly do supplement checks with my clients and have seen so many variations of powders, capsule, and gummies from the same brand.

When it comes to fiber I absolutely love psyllium husk for IBS but just because you pick up a Metamucil gummy doesn’t mean it contains psyllium husk fiber!

Most gummy fiber options contain inulin or chicory root fiber which is a high FODMAP option and may make your IBS symptoms worse.

If you want a supplement review, let’s chat!

I have a few more spots available for next week.

When your stomach treats every bite like an eviction notice and suddenly you’re sprinting to find the nearest bathroom 🏃‍♀️💨🚽

IBS life isn’t just bloating and “tummy troubles.”

🫩 It’s mapping bathrooms like they’re tourist attractions, canceling plans because your gut said NOPE, and praying one meal won’t ruin your whole day.

If you’ve ever thought “I just wanna go home” mid-bite, you’re in good company here. 🙋🏽‍♀️

💬 Drop a “ME” in the comments if your gut’s ever betrayed you like this and let’s laugh through the chaos together.

Have you ever told yourself you wouldn’t skip lunch again?

🤦🏽‍♀️ Only to realize it’s happened again.

Now you’re sluggish, irritable, and have tummy trouble. 🥴

Here’s the good news: ✅ Breakfast foods are a simple and nourishing option for when you’re short on time and you can enjoy them any time of day! 

Think:
🍳 A veggie omelette with leftover crusty bread
🥚 Egg salad with hummus or guac + crackers
🥣 Yogurt bowls topped with fruit and granola
🍲 Even last night’s soup on a chilly fall morning (seriously, don’t knock it till you try it!)

✨ The magic of Fast[ish] Foods is that they don’t take hours to prepare. 

💪🏽 They’re simple meals that keep you fueled and steady when life gets busy.

👉 Save this post for your next “too busy to cook” day, and tell me in the comments: what your favorite fast(ish) meals below! 💬
