Gentle, easily digestible meals designed to calm, comfort, and support your digestive system.
The Sensitive Gut diet offers a comprehensive approach to restoring gut health and alleviating symptoms.
Key Elements of the Sensitive Gut diet:
- Low FODMAP: Focus on reducing intake of fermentable sugars like fructose, lactose, and polyols, which can contribute to digestive issues.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods to soothe your gut and promote healing.
- Lectin Reduction: Limit consumption of lectins, plant-based proteins that can irritate the digestive tract.
- Glycemic Control: Opt for low-glycemic foods to stabilize blood sugar levels.
- Histamine Management: Reduced histamine-rich foods to minimize potential reactions.
Initial Phase:
- Elimination Diet: For the first 21 days, avoid grains, legumes, nightshades, dairy, eggs, and gluten, nuts & seeds.
- Cooked Foods: Prioritize cooked foods to reduce lectin content and ease digestive stress.
Beyond the Initial Phase:
- Reintroduction: Gradually reintroduce eliminated foods to identify potential sensitivities.
- Personalized Nutrition: Tailor your diet based on individual needs and preferences.
- Lifestyle Factors: Consider factors like stress management, sleep quality, and hydration to support your gut healing journey.

The recipes marked “Sensitive Gut” are suitable for the first 21-28 days of the sensitive gut diet. After that, you can start to re-introduce other foods back into your diet. Introduce 1 new food and notice how you feel over the next 72 hours. If you feel worse, remove that food and try to re-introduce after a further 6-8 weeks.
