25.01.2022 The original - low food chemical ie low salicylates, amines, glutamates (via FedUp website): 125 g butter or Nuttelex 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup golden syrup... 3 tsp sodium bicarbonate 1 egg 3 cups plain flour Preheat oven to 180C. Dissolve butter, sugar and golden syrup in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat. When lukewarm, stir in bicarbonate and egg. Place flour in bowl, make a well in the centre and add other ingredients. Knead to form a dough, roll out on a floured surface and cut into gingerbread man shapes. Bake for 15 minutes. Decorate with plain white or citric acid flavoured 'lemon' icing and commercial mini Santa hats or make your own (red felt triangles and cotton balls) for Christmas. Modify it! If you can tolerate salicylates - add some ground ginger Dairy free - use Nuttelex Gluten free - use a GF plain flour such as White Wings, Orgran or Free From Low FODMAP - use Lofo Pantry flour or GF flour as above will work too Enjoy

21.01.2022 Did you know that most cheese in regular quantities is very low in lactose? I'm talking hard cheese like cheddar and parmesan, and soft cheese like brie and camembert. If you react to these foods, it's unlikely that lactose is your food trigger.... The more likely trigger is either the dairy protein itself or the food chemical called amines.

18.01.2022 One nutrition concern about dairy free milks is the lack of calcium in some brands. I'm a big fan of Vitasoy for milk alternatives because of their high calcium added milks (not sponsored/paid or anything!). The following dairy free milks are all low FODMAP and also reduced food chemicals (rice and oat milk are strictly low food chemicals if you are super sensitive).... - Vitasoy rice milk - Vitasoy oat milk - Vitasoy almond milk unsweetened

17.01.2022 Food intolerance is dose dependent. This means that you can eat your trigger foods in a certain amount until you reach your personal threshold. It's only then that your symptoms return. Yes, sometimes it only takes a little bit before you react, but for other trigger foods, you might be able to have a considerable amount.... Don't avoid your trigger foods in their entirety if you don't have to - a special reminder for Christmas

16.01.2022 Food intolerance isn't black and white like food allergies. It involves the concept of threshold. Your food intolerance threshold is the level in which you can tolerate your food trigger/s up until that point.... Once you pass it, you start getting food reactions. So if you're reacting all the time, it's likely that you're eating well above your food intolerance threshold.

09.01.2022 Not all dairy free milks contain calcium. I love the Vitasoy brand because it’s low in FODMAPs and lower in salicylates, amines and glutamates. The soy version is great too but avoid is you have a GOS intolerance

09.01.2022 You don’t need to avoid trigger foods in their entirety. Reintroduce to tolerance so you can find the right balance for you

08.01.2022 Just like there's lots of different types of fruits and vegetables, there's also lots of different types of food intolerance. And this is one main reason why it's so tricky to figure out what it is exactly that you could be intolerant to. But one way you can figure it out is by looking at what else you're reacting to and looking for common themes within the various foods.... For example, food reactions to red meat, dairy, pizza has a common theme of an amine intolerance. You may not have the knowledge on which food triggers are found in which foods (yet!), but this is where a dietitian (food intolerance) detective can really be handy. Knowing the foods that contain your triggers helps you to make informed decisions when it comes to eating to settle your symptoms.

08.01.2022 Hands up who's been labelled a fussy eater? If someone doesn't have food intolerance themselves or know many people who have food intolerance, how can I put this nicely... they just don't understand. I often have patients who tell me that they are avoiding certain foods because they suspect they're issues. Sometimes their GP is concerned because of their limited diet.... My opinion on this is that these patients are just intuitive. So in tune with their body and its reactions. And by then using this information to understand what it is their food triggers are, they can actually expand their diet and improve their nutrition. If you'd like to join a free local community with people who 'get it' and with food intolerance expert dietitians sharing their knowledge and expertise, then head over to my new Facebook group - "IBS & Food Intolerance Wollongong/Illawarra" or if you're on my Instagram @thegutfriendlydietitian, I have a direct link to the group in my bio.

01.01.2022 Many gluten free products such as bread, baked goods and snacks contain the ingredient - soy flour. Soy flour has a very small low FODMAP serve, so depending on the amount used in a gluten free product, it may make an otherwise low FODMAP product high in FODMAPs. So if you're lowering FODMAPs to see if this approach settles your gut, turn over your next GF product and have a closer look at the ingredients just to double check.

01.01.2022 Reacting to cheese? What’s your food trigger? Is it the dairy protein or amines? It’s likely not lactose

01.01.2022 If you’re constantly reacting to foods then it’s likely that you’re eating your food triggers above your threshold
