We often receive emails and messages from readers who simply cannot afford the cost of Absorb Plus. Remember, that to go on a completely elemental diet (to provide bowel rest) most people need to consume between 4 - 7 servings per day - and that [...]

Alright, I just have to share this super easy, quick, and versatile sauce. Instead of honey, I just use stevia and/or luo han guo (monkfruit) to sweeten this sauce (making it sugar-free!). I then use with everything from scrambled eggs to chicken strips - or [...]

Okay, just had to share with you one of my latest addictions. I first had this in a restaurant and was crazy for it - but since it is a half hour drive away, I had to figure out how to make it myself! If [...]

If you're new to kale, or thinking about trying it, or trying to introduce it to your kids, here's a super yummy yet easy salad you can make to introduce it gently. Just use the proportions given and make as large or as small a salad [...]

I talk a lot about the health benefits of drinking raw cow's milk or raw goat's milk on this blog, but for those of you that cannot tolerate it, are vegan, or who cannot obtain pasture-fed raw milk where you live, an excellent alternative is [...]

Here's another recipe for you to add more food-based probiotics to your diet. Remember that if you don't tolerate dairy, yogurt can be made from raw cow’s milk, goat’s milk, or coconut milk. Goat milk yogurt has smaller fat and protein globules than cow’s milk, [...]

This is a question I've been wanting to provide a good solution for, for a LONG time: I'm ready to come off the elemental diet (IBD Remission Diet) but I'm not ready to be completely on solid foods yet, what should I do? So here's [...]

Most recipes for culturing yogurt will advise you start with some store-bought yogurt and use that as the fermenting culture for your milk. Of course, that will work, and it will produce yogurt, but what will be the quality and potency of that yogurt as [...]

MORE FOOD-BASED PROBIOTICS If you've seen my recipe for the Best Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise Ever, but you don't know how to obtain the fresh liquid whey (the probiotics contained in fresh liquid whey are used to lacto-ferment mayonnaise, grains, vegetables, etc.) then here are detailed instructions: [...]

FOOD-BASED PROBIOTICS Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise I did a lot of experimenting to determine which oils provide the best-tasting mayonnaise, whilst providing excellent nutrition – I think this recipe is my fifth variation and I’m finally happy with it! My never-ending thanks to Nourishing Traditions cookbook for [...]

For a few months now, I've had many people write in asking if George's Aloe Vera is suitable for making your own DIY hand sanitizer. Well, the answer is yes - however, actually washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds [...]

I am just crazy for this pre-soaked, sprouted bean/lentil product. Of course, it's organic, but it's also available for a great price at Costco! It's the TruRoots Organic Sprouted Bean Trio and it contains mung beans, green lentils and adzuki beans. Most of us know [...]

For years I have raved about the positive effects of very ripe bananas when suffering from digestive upset - the riper the better! When bananas are black (by ‘black’ I mean normal, yellow-skinned bananas that have been left on the counter to ripen until their [...]

If you've read my older post on the benefits of homemade broth, you already know I always suggest drinking meat and veggie broths - both for everyday health and in between the Absorb Plus shakes (if you are on an elemental diet). Not only are [...]

I have been on a Love and Lemons kick recently - which is easy to do when they have so many GREAT recipes. I've also been on a soup kick, if you haven't noticed - but hey, soup is comforting and warm for these cold [...]

This soup is just wonderful when you are craving something creamy and comforting - without actually indulging in any dairy! Seriously, you cannot tell there is no cream in this soup. This is a recipe I slightly modified (I omitted some ingredients) from Jeanine & [...]

Who doesn't love a fresh, healthy, body-fueling meal that's also incredibly easy to prepare? And did I mention...chocolate?! Here's a chocolate pudding (which can also be made as a smoothie, if you'd prefer) that contains a bunch of super healthy ingredients like avocado, spinach, chia [...]

If you prefer to stick with whole foods (and your system can tolerate them), or you cannot afford to go on an elemental diet, or pay for the targeted healing supplements for IBD or IBS, then I have a few options for you that will [...]

After we shared our Creamy Rice Pudding recipe, we had many people write in asking for the congee with bone broth recipe I mention in my 8 Key Steps for Natural Healing of Crohns, Colitis, Diverticulitis & IBS talk on YouTube. Traditional Chinese congee (or [...]

Jini's Chocolate Cashew Butter Fudge (Dairy-Free, GF) When you give up dairy, and then you give up sugar, you can feel SUPER deprived. But this treat makes all the deprivation and cravings for old vices disappear! We tried SIX versions of this recipe [...]

Whenever I serve this, I ALWAYS have people asking me for the recipe. And it's so simple! I have yet to meet any child who doesn't care for it (as long as they don't know there are anchovies in it!). The anchovies are optional, however, [...]

I don't know about you, but I just LOVE tricks like this! I tried this method and it peeled about 90% of the cloves in the head of garlic. I shook the bowls for about 7 seconds, checked, then shook again for another 7-10 seconds [...]
