21 Day Low FODMAP Smoothie Challenge

by Larah Brook, Clare Zivanovic, Goran Zivanovic (Photographer)

The 21-Day Low FODMAP Smoothie Challenge is ideal for people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), who want to introduce healthy low FODMAP smoothies in to their diet. This medically researched diet helps people with IBS, and other digestive issues, minimise gastrointestinal symptoms and improve well-being. This unique smoothie challenge is gentle on the tummy and provides a complete 3 week regime of smoothie meal plans, shopping lists and smoothie recipes.This eBook has been created by Clare and Larah. Clare is a qualified naturopath, nutritionist and medical herbalist with 15 years experience in the health industry. Intolerant to gluten and dairy herself, Clare has a unique understanding of how to treat digestive issues, including IBS. Larah was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in 2013. Prior to her diagnosis, she spent several years suffering from a myriad of seemingly unrelated symptoms. After being diagnosed, a specialised dietitian suggested to follow a low FODMAP diet. A couple of weeks later her symptoms were practically gone, and since then Larah has only had a few episodes of IBS symptoms. She now keeps her symptoms at bay by basing her diet around 85% low FODMAP foods. This eBook came from Larah’s realisation that eating low FODMAP does not necessarily mean eating healthy, and that a lot of people (Larah included) try to replace high FODMAP ‘junk’ with low FODMAP ‘junk’, missing the opportunity to start a healthier diet.

Just to be clear, I was involved in the making of this book as the photographer. When I began I knew nothing, to very little, about low FODMAP. Although I learnt a lot with 'on the job training' and had an opportunity to taste every single smoothie recipe, the book itself impressed me more. Some of the smoothies are not to my taste, but the informative aspects and nutritional value for those who suffer from IBS or FODMAP sensitivity are clear. One of the authors, my wife, is a qualified Naturopath and Nutritionist who dedicated many months, along with Larah, a FODMAP expert, to compiling and experimenting with these recipes. My 5 star rating is for the overall presentation, information and ease of this publication. This comes off the back of filming and interviewing many others in the field of nutrition and well-being, so I am confident it will be of benefit to those who are wanting to try this challenge to see if it helps their IBS.
