Hi Terry, Great news! Hope you like the book! The meal plan in the 21 Day Tummy was designed to help the reader lose weight and calm digestive symptoms at the same time–If you don’t need to lose weight-then you will need to up the portions of some of the foods. Ideally, you would want to increase foods that don’t have appreciable fodmaps or other ‘belly bullies’– would increase chicken and fish portions…and choose larger potatoes or in the 3rd phase up quinoa and rice portions and perhaps have a bigger afternoon snack. And don’t forget to do the belly bully challenge at the end of the book to help identify your personal digestive triggers. The goal is to learn what’s triggering your digestive problems–and add back the foods that don’t trouble your tummy!

My husband and I bought the 21-Day Tummy and I have enjoyed reading it and play to start or try the program, our concern is we don’t want or need to loose weight – should we just have bigger portions and snacks? Didn’t see this addressed in the book. Thanks so much.

I am hoping this will kick 2014 off in a good way! This is the first time I have ever dieted… it better be worth it:)

Thank you so much for all your wonderful help and insight for us IBS sufferers. I just saw the Dr. Oz special the other day as well and was quite thrilled to see the word getting out there to help others like myself. My G.I. specialist recommended I try this diet just recently and I am also working with a Naturopath to help me navigate my way. So far so good..I’m starting to have more GOOD days than bad days hanging out miserably in the bathroom. I’ve been suffering with gut prob’s for almost 10 years now. I had 1 abdominal surgery to repair a hiatal hernia and now I’m told I have another umbilica hernia. I’m praying this diet is my answer to help my poor gut heal so I don’t have to suffer through another unsuccessful operation. Any suggestions would be most appreciated?..and once again, thank you so very much!! P.S. Please enter me in your contest if you would and I would love to have your book…:)
Sincerely,
Eileen

Almond Breeze by Blue Diamond Almonds (I’m in Canada but it’s a US company). I have Gastroparesis, IBS and many food intolerances (lactose to be one) and sensitivities (highly gluten sensitive). I seem to tolerate 6-8 ounces of almond milk and I have tried the original, vanilla and chocolate (all unsweetened). Wish there were more people like you in Canada 🙂

Alissa, No word on Almond milk. I believe the initial testing showed it to be high in GOS–but not sure the follow up tests have been run. I also think that FODMAP content will vary brand to brand depending on how it’s made. What brand did you try? I have tried Silk almond milk without major prob–but I don’t drink a huge quantity at one time.

Just wondering if there has been any recent testing done on Almond Milk? I haven’t been able to find anything on this. I even have the Monash app and nothing… I know almonds test high in FODMAPs (10 nuts is okay though) but there doesn’t seem to be any info on almond milk. I alternate between lactose free skim milk and unsweetened almond milk and I don’t seem to have any symptoms when drinking almond milk so I am curious.
