Welcome!  We are so glad to be helping on your healing journey.  The hardest part about many gut related issues is that the path to cure involves a restrictive diet.  For many of our patients, this is the largest obstacle to cure; adhering to a diet that seems so limited and daunting.  We wanted to make this part of the cure less scary and much more tasty.  Here you will find a variety of curated and modified recipes for any time of day, every skill level, and every taste preference for your 6 week diet adventure!

A few ground rules:

  1. No sugar – the “bad guys” in your gut LOVE sugar.  They literally feed on it.  We need to starve them so they die off and the “good guys” can take over; making you feel better.
  2. No dairy – believe it or not, there is a lot of sugar in dairy products.  We have found that Earth Balance is an excellent plant based alternative to butter, so we use it as a replacement in many of the recipes.  The only exception to this rule is plain, unsweetened yogurt.  There are lots of “good guys” in yogurt!
  3. No yeast – this will limit your bread intake since most are made with yeast.
  4. No fruit for 2 weeks, and then only 1 serving per day – some of the recipes you will find here contain fruit for after your first 2 weeks.  After the 2 weeks, you can only have 1 serving a day so be sure to plan accordingly.
  5. Fermented foods only 3 times per week (we’re looking at you soy sauce and alcohol) – some of the recipes contain fermented items.  These recipes will be called out so that you can use them sparingly.
  6. Rate your favorites – we want to make sure that we are providing recipes that everyone finds tasty so please help us by giving us your feedback.

From this site, you can find recipes you want to try, create a shopping list, and set up a calendar for your meals.  We want this to be as easy as possible so that you can start feeling better asap!

Enjoy!
