]]> This soothing immune-boosting tea is a jar of natural goodness, perfect for calming IBS-related bloating and giving your gut and immune system a little extra love.

Made by layering slices of lemon, raw honey, fresh ginger, and a touch of cinnamon in a jar, then storing it in the fridge until ready, it becomes a syrupy, fragrant blend that you simply spoon into a mug and top with hot water. Lemon supports digestion and liver function, ginger is well-known for reducing bloating and easing nausea, cinnamon helps stabilise blood sugar and calm inflammation, and honey brings natural antibacterial properties to support the gut lining.

Whether you’re feeling run down, sluggish, or just need a gentle cleanse, this tea is your go-to. It’s simple, warming, and a beautiful ritual for any time of year. This will last in the fridge until winter and help keep colds at bay…

Carrots bring in beta-carotene to support your gut lining and skin, and ginger adds a warming, anti-inflammatory kick that soothes the digestive tract and boosts circulation. It’s fresh, zingy, and gives your body a gentle reset from the inside out.

*Please note that a juice machine will provide a great consistency. A smoothie machine will create a rough texture as it will include all the fibre. If you do not have a juice machine, I would recommend draining the liquid through a muslin cloth a couple of times.

]]> This recipe is great for so many reasons. Firstly, it will strengthen your blood as the powerful vitamin C and iron in the beet juice will help clear any blockages and promote safe transportation of other nutrients around your body. The ginger always works for me as a bowel mover, so I add in a big chunk. Great if you are struggling with IBSC. It also soothes the gut and provides a really nice kick to the juice.

I’m not one for bland flavours and with IBS women often ‘go bland’ with their foods feeling that they don’t deserve to eat tasty, exciting foods incase their gut doesn’t like it. Also a lot of the information out there advises to steer clear of herbs and spices as they may upset your gut. In truth, out of the thousands of women I have worked with over the years very few have actually struggled with herbs or spices. And this is something I work closely with each new student on using the IBS Freedom Method… but I digress.

Back to the juice. The apple is full of pectin and this will help to stabilise the gut, enable your energy to rise and your skin to clear. And I added an orange for extra vitamin C. Well, half an orange to be exact as I ate the other half whilst preparing the ingredients. I just couldn’t resist it! Oragnes are a great way of staying extra hydrated due to their water content and also of course another great source of vitamin C.

So, all in all this is a SUPER JUICE which will help to heal your gut, calm your stomach acid, promote health bowel movements (you can still enjoy this with IBSD as they nutrients boost will help to soothe your spasmodic bowel) and not only that just LOOK at that colour! And as an extra bonus it tastes awesome!

I hope you enjoy this little beauty. Of course organic fruits are best as they are more nutritious and we want to reduce toxins in the body from pesticides for a healthy gut.

As always, I am here for you if you are struggling with gut health or IBS, just get in touch for more info…

IBS bowel moving beet juice!
Servings1 person
Ingredients
  • 1 apple
  • 1/2 Orangeyou can use a whole one if you can resist eating half!
  • 1chunk Gingeroptional - if you KNOW ginger is bad for you (only 2% of women struggle with ginger) then leave this out
  • 2-3 fresh beetroot
Instructions
  1. Core the apple, peel the orange and ginger, cut everything into small chunks and juice! No need to peel the beet, just wash thoroughly as there is a lot of nutrition in the skin. Same for the apple. Unless they are non organic in which case prob best to peel everything...
  2. Consume within 30 minutes of juicing, If you want to make a batch however you can still consume within 24 hours, although its potency may decrease by a few %. You can also freeze this for future use if you have a whole batch of fruit and veg to use up. Again it will be less potent than freshly pressed juice but still a hundred times better than bought juice or processed alternatives.

Sweet Potato Curry
Servings2 portions
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Peel and dice the sweet potato into rough 1 cm cubes (you can use the rest of the potato for sweet potato mini wedges or fries). Boil the sweet potatoes until they are almost cooked through (poke with a skewer to test).
  2. Whilst the potatoes are cooking, add some rice to a pan, cover with water, add salt, cover and cook for 10 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Next gently heat a large pan or wok with some olive oil and add in the dried spices, lemon grass paste and lime juice. Stir for a minute or so until you can smell all the gorgeous flavours coming through.
  4. Turn down the heat, pour in the coconut cream and simmer. Add in the cooked sweet potato and stir until covered.
  5. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add to the plate. You can get fancy if you want to and make it into a mould, but I like to spread it around the edges and pour my curry in the middle. Add the torn parsley and lime wedges and serve.

Wrong! I am intolerant to onions and they cause me IBS symptoms so I have been avoiding them as much as possible for many years. However, I love curry and I love flavour. So I make up for the flavour using some of the other millions of herbs, flavours and spices available. This soup is far from bland and you won't even notice there is no onions! But your tummy may well appreciate it if they affect you the same way they affect me.
