Hi there! I’m Sarah Davis, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m not a doctor, a dietitian, or a gourmet-trained chef, just a Midwest girl with a big heart, a love of family meals, and a stomach that’s had more drama than a daytime soap opera. If you’ve ever canceled plans because your gut had other ideas, or stood in a grocery aisle squinting at an ingredients list like it’s a cryptic puzzle, trust me, you’re in good company.
My journey with IBS-M (yep, the “mixed” kind, just to keep things interesting!) started years ago. At first, I chalked up the bloating, discomfort, and fatigue to stress or poor sleep. But when things got worse, when food, something I loved, started to feel like the enemy, I knew something had to change. After a winding road of doctor visits and diet tweaks, I finally discovered the low FODMAP diet. And let me tell you: it changed everything.
Now, I’m a mama of two, one sweet-as-honey daughter and a spirited, snack-loving son, plus a husband who’s my rock and favorite taste tester. Dinnertime in our house is a whirlwind of giggles, “please try one more bite,” and lots of second helpings. And I was determined not to let IBS pull up a chair at our table and dictate the menu.
So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I began reimagining our family favorites with low FODMAP ingredients, turning trial-and-error into triumph (and, occasionally, into smoke alarms, but hey, we learn!). From there, this little blog was born, a place to share gut-friendly recipes that actually taste good, make sense for real life, and bring joy back to the kitchen.
Whether you’re a busy parent, a newly diagnosed FODMAP newbie, or just someone trying to make peace with your plate, I’m here to help. Think of this space as your cozy corner for easy dinners, quick snacks, sweet treats, and honest stories about navigating a restricted diet in a very full life.
So pour yourself a cup of tea, pull up a stool at my virtual kitchen counter, and let’s make mealtime something you can look forward to again, one delicious, low FODMAP bite at a time.
