I must be honest with you: This year I had no leisure to bake 6 different sorts of cookies. The thought of not arriving against the perfect, accurate and delicious artwork of my mom and grandmother anyway did the rest. But it does not work without it. That’s why I chose fast, straightforward recipes with the ingredients that my pantry gave me.

Tip for sensitive bellies: In a FODMAP and low-histamine diet, you should pay attention to the intake of recommended daily balls due to the dried fruit and the cocoa powder. Depending on the compatibility, I recommend 2-3 pieces.

Frequently asked questions
I tried everything. But it is best not to eat at all. Do I take the strain off my gut?
In order to maintain an adequate supply of nutrients, to build up a rich microbiota as well as holistic health, a regular and symptom-oriented diet is necessary. The intestine and its great population need the right foods. Get a professional support along your way and always be patient. Exchange your ideas and wishes with your nutritionist. Or if you need some help, just don’t hesitate to contact me via the form.
I have no identified intolerances. Why do I still not tolerate fresh dairy products or fiber-rich foods?
Fresh dairy products contain higher levels of probiotics than usual, so they can briefly lead to lactose intolerance-like symptoms. The same is true for fiber-rich foods containing prebiotics. The intestine simply has to get used to the new population. Initially, you can relieve your stomach with a combination of vegetables and vegetable oils (such as linseed oil).
Cabbage, beans or fiber are bloating. Is there anything I can do against it?
A varied diet is important, including healthy fats. These relieve the intestine by ensuring that the food stays in the stomach for a longer time. Therefore always combine the meals with vegetable fats. But watch out – also the amount is important. Furthermore, frozen cabbage or beans are normally leading to less bloating.
