Hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria can drive gut inflammation and leaky gut. If you've completed a microbiome test and it shows high levels of hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria, then that's great news. It means you can treat the imbalance before your digestive...
Low FODMAP Chicken Marbella
This Chicken Marbella recipe is as easy to make FODMAP friendly. It's traditionally made with dates, but I find that if you add a little extra molasses then it's just as good. This is one recipe that I find myself coming back to time and time again. The mix of...

Low FODMAP Protein Powders
Which protein powders are low FODMAP? It's a question I see asked regularly within the fructose malabsorption communities. I have my favourite brands, which I'll share with you in this post. But given that not everyone visiting this page lives in Australia, I...
Low FODMAP Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin soup is one of my absolute favourite meals during the winter, especially on cold Melbourne days I'm very lucky to have a thermomix to whip these up quickly but you can easily make it with any type of blender. If I have time I love serving it with a swirl of...
Why excess sugar consumption impairs digestive health
Stress and sugar & fatigue - these three factors are so intimately connected. Excess Sugar consumption is also strongly linked to digestive health, which is why it's a big focus of my attention. If you're one of my patients you've probably heard me highlight...
Low FODMAP Zucchini Hummus
Zucchinis. It's such a versatile vegetable but so often forgotten. According to Monash App, 65g or 1/2 zucchini is considered low FODMAP - but in my experience, it's a very well tolerated vegetable, so I'd probably test yourself out with higher quantities and see how...

What can I do to reduce bloating?
The most common question I get when seeing patients with fructose malabsorption, SIBO and IBS is "What can I take to reduce bloating" I'm sure you've had the same question before. We've all eaten food we shouldn't have and been punished for days on end. Here are the...
Fructose Friendly Tartare Sauce
When I was diagnosed with fructose malabsorption I really missed tartare sauce. So I was absolutely over the moon when my Mum made her own version of it for me which was both onion and garlic-free.
Rekindled Wellness
After seriously trying literally everything to get my supply back up I was at the end of my rope - stupidly I had not thought about engaging her services until someone asked me if I'd tried a naturopath. Of course?! And even though I was close to giving up, as a last-ditch effort I reached out. And why did I not do it earlier!
Joey went above in beyond in her research and care for my particular situation. She gave me a whole rounded and holistic advice as well as an amazing herb mix that wouldn't you know it, brought my supply right back up!
I'm not going to lie, I didn't have much faith left. I was tired and exhausted but just so impressed with the amount of love, detail and knowledge she brought to my problem. People, I cannot recommend what Joey Thomas does highly enough. She loves what she does and that passion means she really knows her stuff. So proud of this lady and for helping make the world, you, and I a #healthier place. 💕💕
I liked how she focuses on nutrition rather than supplementation and I quickly noticed improvements in my energy levels and mood.
Thanks for everything.
