Low Fiber Thanksgiving Day Feast

Eating with IBD can be a challenge year-round. But eating during the holidays can be especially difficult, starting with Thanksgiving. Many favorite dishes are full of dairy, sugar, fat, and other gut irritants. But that’s no reason to miss out on special treats this holiday season. After a bit of digging, we’ve identified and tweaked some great recipes for you to enjoy alongside your Thanksgiving turkey. Check them out here.

Difference Between Broth and Stock

This is a familiar scenario in our kitchens: A recipe calls for chicken stock, but all we have is chicken broth. Can we substitute one for the other?

You betcha! 

While there are culinary differences between the broths and stocks, you can use one for the other without drastically altering the final product. 

Both are hydrating, soothing, nourishing, and easy-to-digest. 

For a deeper dive into the similarities and differences of broths and stocks, check out this guide from the Academy of Culinary Nutrition.

A Fun Tasty Treat - Whollie Rollies

Say what?! 

Fun to eat and fun to say, Whollie Rollies are frozen protein balls without added sugar or unrecognizable ingredients.

Each of the three flavors has just 5-6 ingredients, including peanut butter, gluten-free oats, unsweetened toasted coconut, and dates. The ingredients are blended together to produce a super smooth final product appropriate for those on low-roughage diets. 

Did we mention that they taste great, too?
