My Simple Wrap Recipe

My Simple Wrap Recipe

Today I’m filming from my kitchen to give you a how-to video of how I make my wraps. These will be a part of the wholefoods recipe book I am releasing as part of the launch of my 6 Days of Digestion mini eCourse in early December. The recipe book is full of meals that are easy on the digestive system.

When it comes to food choices I think there are three ways that those suffering with IBS can get themselves into strife.

  • Frankenfoods! Processed and lab made to look and taste like food, but they’re really just imitations. Processed foods like two minute noodles, many cereals and processed grains, vegetable oils and confectionary are so foreign to the human body that it has a lot of trouble digesting it and assimilating any nutrients. Aim for the 80/20 guide, whereby you consume whole foods 80% of the time.
  • Unbalanced meals. Eating foods rich in particular macro nutrients can cause a lot of trouble. The best example that comes to mind are pastries & deep fried food. Meat pies for example are very high in fat & carbohydrates and contain little fibre to help the body with digestion.
  • Food intolerances. Continuing to consume foods that are causing inflammation will keep you stuck on the merry ground of digestive misery.

All three of these mistakes can be contributing to IBS symptoms.

These wraps are an alternative to the packaged and processed ones, higher in protein, tastier (I think!) that treat your body a little better! Download the full recipe here. Fill them full of leftovers for lunches, use in Mexican dishes such as enchiladas (they also make good tortillas), savoury crepes or change it up with some vanilla paste to make a healthier sweet treat crepe dish.

If you give these a go make sure to tag me so I can see you enjoy these too!
And as always, please share this content with someone in your life who could also benefit from some super simple and easy food ideas! And please keep an eye out for my new eCourse.

Three ways to do a digestion reset

Three ways to do a digestion reset

Gut rest; it’s exactly what it sounds like – giving your gut a break from digesting and processing food.
And it is one of the most valuable therapeutic tools you have at your fingertips when you are really inflamed and reacting to everything!

Now in today’s vlog I’ve outlined the three main methods to rest your digestion below, but remember to speak to your GP or health professional first as they are not suitable for everybody.

  • Only consuming liquids for a day. We are talking nothing but water or herbal tea (make sure you don’t react to the tea first!). This method is generally safe for very short periods of time. Again, speak with your GP.
  • Eating easy-to-digest foods for a few days. This can either be plain broth or a broth-based soup with softly cooked vegetables and easy to digest protein like fish or chicken. I personally use and recommend Gevity bone broth concentrates (they are $35 and will give you one serve per day for a month – contact me to order) or if you’re a DIY kinda person check out my broth recipe here. NOTE: if you have histamine issues avoid this method.
  • Undertaking an elemental diet. This can either be done yourself or via a practitioner only formula (which tastes better!), and is essentially a liquid diet that contains all of the nutrients that you need. The crux of this diet is that it’s absorbed quite high in the digestive tract, thus giving most of your small and large intestines a much needed rest. The elemental diet is particularly good for IBS sufferers as they are often nutritionally depleted due to impaired digestion. Research suggests the ED can even help put IBD into remission! Bonus: it’s also fantastic for SIBO sufferers too! If the elemental diet is sparking your interest, book in to have a chat with me as it is a practitioner-only formula so you will need to be a client for this one.

So there are the three ways you can really give your gut a digestion reset, especially when you are in an acute flare up and need some relief fast. If you want help figuring out which method would be best, you can book in a free call with me here, and as always, please forward this information onto someone who may need it. If you try out my chicken bone broth recipe, let me know how you went.
