]]> f you’re looking for a refreshing, IBS-friendly drink that gives you that feel-good vibe, look no further! This drink is not only hydrating but packed with gut-friendly ingredients that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The cucumber soothes your tummy, the lime helps boost digestion, and the mint calms bloating. What’s not to love?

Perfect for those who prefer to skip the alcohol but still want something exciting to sip on, this mocktail is as delicious as it is easy on the gut. Plus, if you do want a little kick, you can always add a splash of gin or vodka for an extra twist.

Why It’s Gut-Friendly:

Cucumber is a wonderful hydrator, and it works wonders on your gut by soothing any inflammation or discomfort. Lime not only provides a zesty taste but also supports your digestive system by promoting bile production and improving overall gut function. Mint, a natural anti-spasmodic, is perfect for calming bloating, cramping, and gas. The natural carbonation from the sparkling water or kombucha helps with digestion and relieves bloating. Without the added sugar found in many mixers.

This mocktail is a simple yet delicious way to support your gut health while still enjoying a drink that feels special. Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or hosting friends, The Gut Glow is sure to be a hit!

The 'Gut Glow' Mocktail Recipe
Servings1 person
Prep Time5 minutes
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Blend, juice or mash the inside of the cucumber until smooth.
  2. Add this to the lime juice, fresh mint and ice cubes and shaker in your shaker (an empty jam jar works if you do not have a cocktail shaker).
  3. 'Muddle' the mint a little further. Use wooden spoon handle if you have nothing else to hand. This releases the oils in the mint - the healing properties of this drink.
  4. Pour this mix into the glass and top up with sparkling mineral water. Enjoy!

]]> Simple foods can be so soothing on the gut and you can appreciate each individual taste, texture and nutrient as your body absorbs the energy from simple foods into the body.

I love salmon. It is great for omegas and vitamin D as well as being filling and tasty. Rice provides energy to this dish as a slow release carb and the greens help with vitamin C, potassium, iron and magnesium. This will help to actively heal the gut and build strength against IBS symptoms.

]]> I love this salsa as a dip with nachos, or as a sauce over home made chips. Or even with pasta on the rare occasion I fancy some.

You can make this recipes as hot and spicy or mild as you prefer just by altering the amount of spices and fresh herbs you add. My tomato salsa varies depending on what I have in the cupboard at the time, sometimes I will use up a leftover tin of sweetcorn and sometimes I will add celery. Just depends what is available, there are no hard and fast rules. Just go with what you have what flavours you like and what you fancy.

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.

]]> This recipe is great when you have people coming over to eat, or for the family to pick and nibble at with a variety of other dips, such as chunky guacamole, chilli and salsa and a lovely big green salad.

I love this dip with Nacho’s, or even in a soft wrap with chilli and salad. You can make this recipe as hot and spicy or mild as you prefer. Using more or less chilli powder, or even using fresh herbs for a greener dip.
