- So I thought I'd show you which Easter eggs are gluten-free this year! Though this is in Sainsbury's, you'll find most of these eggs in other supermarkets too. Oh and I thought it was about time I gave a quick IBS/stomach update, so here you go!

Ive kept a food diary for about 200 days & i feel u on this. I can be cool & thinking "oh yeah low fodmap is workin !! I dont even need this diary !!" Then sumn can derail me for the next 6 weeks (currently) its saurrr hard & frustrating i lose. Currently hot water bottles (the pressure rly makes my distended belly feel better) & ginger tea help !!
I feel your discomfort! I follow a low fodmap diet and have recently been diagnosed with a form of Colitis. I'm not coeliac, but wheat and lactose are major triggers for me. I miss chocolate! I wish GF and LF products weren't so darn expensive. Aren't we suffering enough 🤣
Hey mdear, I don't know where you are based but Nomo chocolate is dairy free and is really nice :) no cheap though as you say! xx
@@BeckyExcell inulin is a bit of an issue, which is in a lot of dairy free choc. I am enjoying the Nomo sea salt choc, buying when on offer
I went to the supermarket here in Australia last week and was looking through the easter chocolates and I remembered that you mentioned the KitKat bunnies being GF. In Australia, they actually contain gluten sadly :( I was so excited to try them until I read the ingredients. Just a FYI for any other Aussies to check ingredients.
Thanks for this Becky, I’m a year down the diagnosis process but still waiting to see a dietician. I’m sure I’m GF but still struggling with stomach issues and think I have ibs. It’s good to know I’m not alone anyway in my random struggles.
Thanks for the Easter update, I avoid Kitkat now so you’ve made my day, I’ll be off on a bunny hunt 😍
Hey mdear, definitely give the doctors a polite push in terms of seeing a dietician, i think everything is super delayed at the moment but it can't hurt. You're deffo not alone!! xx
I’m reading and hearing more and more that stress is a big part of our gut issues and that we do need to journal and meditate and do exercise in moderation, not over doing it. Walking, yoga, some weights and of course listen to our bodies and all the food stuff. Hope you feel better soon and can get it all worked out. 🧡
Thanks mdear, yeah stress is huge i think - i need to try meditation i think, something ive always wanted to do xx
Thank you for your videos, they're always so helpful! My 9 year old was diagnosed coeliac when she was 6 and recently she's been having tummy troubles too. We kept a food diary and think we have worked out that its lactose causing the issue (chocolate though she seems ok with atm🤞). Hope you get some answers soon! P.s I love your recipe books!
Aw thanks so much Talia :) so glad the food diary keeping has been helping work things out, it seems so simple but it is really useful! Hope her tummy troubles get better soon xxx
Sometimes i eat high fodmap foods but stay good while on other days i have same meals and get problems. Can stress be my trigger then is it possible
Stress is often a trigger, but i cannot say if its the case for anyone as I'm not a doctor. For me personally it's definitely a trigger though xx
Hope you find a solution to your tummy troubles! I've only been diagnosed as coeliac for about 6 months, never had any symptoms, don't really feel any different now I'm gluten free however I developed a constant discomfort in my stomach, felt heavy and blocked. It went on for weeks, had blood tests, ultrasound, CT scan, camera down my throat and they found nothing! After about 9 weeks of constant discomfort it's starting to fade but I've no idea why, I've gone back to eating what I like and it's not got worse so wonder if it's muscular, my posture isnt great!? Certain positions made it better or worse. I always try to eat sitting up really straight now rather than hunched on the sofa!
Thanks mdear! Yeah i think we are all guilty of blaming food for any gut symptoms we have when actually there is the potential that it could be something completely different or a mixture of factors! xxx
Please share what you do to relieve your issues. I also can’t scrunch up my tummy. Does anyone else’s pain go under their rib cage through to their back? Hope your feeling better.
Have you had your amylase levels checked to rule out things like pancreatitis?
Definitely have the rib cage and back pain a lot :( so so annoying!! I might do. a video on all the things i do to help. Thanks Carole xx
Before getting diagnosed with coeliac desease, I had costochondritis, inflammation under the ribs and back. but since going gf I've suffered a lot less and can maintain it with stretches
I suffer with IBS and get regular tummy pain/discomfort. Since going almost completely gluten free it's helped so much. I can tolerate oats sometimes. I find hot water and lay in my left or on my tummy with hot water bottle helps and buscopan / mebeverine for cramps/spasm
so sorry to hear, its such a pain isn't it :( but yeah i find laying on my left side helps too! xx
@@BeckyExcell sometimes I wonder if I have ibs. I just don't know all the signs.
Thank you Becky. Such an interesting video. I'm having to go gluten, dairy & sugar free due to migraines, bloating & toilet issues. I've tried before but always lapsed so I'm seeing a nutritionist so I have someone to answer to now (doctors were completely useless). Interesting what you said about being scrunched up giving you stomach cramps. With me it's back & rib pain so I'm sitting up straight at the dining room table typing this. Anyway, I'm so looking forward to receiving your new book. Your other books have helped me so much with having to eat gluten and dairy free. Look after yourself xx
I'm getting more IBS flares regularly since getting covid a year ago ,not sure why but my long covid is also affecting my GERD. I keep a good diary and I'm adding more food to the avoid list weekly,one main culprit is beef !!. When I'm having a flare the best thing I find to eat is really salty crisps and white bread toast. I am lactose intolerant and I can't eat oats unless they are gluten free . X
Hey Hayley, so sorry to hear about the long covid and the effects it's having. Hopefully it sorts itself out soon 💜 Yes salty crisps help me too i find! xx
Hi Becky. Do all the eggs actually say gluten free or are you basing it on whether it says wheat flour in the ingredients? Do you eat things that say may contain? This video was really helpful as I tend to always be cautious with eggs each year.
Hey m’dear they don’t say gluten free but they don’t ever contain gluten in the ingredients and they also do not have any contains. All the eggs I show are suitable for coeliacs 💜 I don’t personally eat anything with a may contain so I never show those things either. Let me know if I can help anymore too xxx
Hi Becky. Thank you for sharing your experiences it is really helpful. I've been struggling with my digestion for many years and only now am I considering a low FODMAP diet. I struggle to have confidence in my body and buy any clothes which creates a lot of anxiety in my life. Do you have any tips or helpful resources for starting the FODMAP journey?
Anything to help bloatedness ? I always look about 9 months pregnant which makes me out of breath, doctors suspect IBS, just waiting for my bloods to get back. Sweets, chocolate, fruit ect makes me extremely bloated, it’s so uncomfortable😩 (I’m already on a gluten free diet)
Great video, thank you. I get flare ups of tummy issues when I know I haven't been glutened. Always dismissed by Doctors.
Its hard isn't it. I'd definitely recommend keeping a food diary, you can learn so much from one i find xx
These look so good. We don’t do big Easter chocolate eggs like this in the states. Big hollow chocolate bunnies are kind of a thing but not to this level.
Would you ever do another 3 week low FODMAP reset to figure out the mystery trigger?
I didn't realise it wasnt such a big thing in the states!
Hmm not specifically a low fodmap reset, but once i might remove a few things and then reintroduce back in to see if i can work it out xx
Thank you for the easter egg idea.... also I'm excited to meet someone else that has a gluten onion and garlic allergy.
No problem :) ah yes those bloomin onion and garlics!! So frustrating - but i cook without them - all the recipes in my books are without them :D x
What do you eat when Ur tummy is bad? I tend to stick to plain toast or a simple soup. Xxx
Yeah very simple things like plain rice, chicken etc but smaller portions as well. I like making a simple chicken broth kind of thing too xx
Bone broth can be very helpful & settling too !!
Brilliant thank you now I know what kind I can get my little one x
No problem :) any questions, always here to help!
Thankyou for this !! I was diagnosed with coeliac 2 weeks ago and its been abit up and down, but my partners parents bought me your cook book and its brillant so thankyou for that aswell, i think i may have lactose aswell so ill start keeping a food diary and keep on track with it all, thankyou agian for your videos and blogs and stuff keeps me positive !! :D
aw thanks so much mdear, glad its all helping! Any questions i can help with, let me know xx
Not sure will this help anyone but when I've had a blip on my food I find bloateze help they have activated carbon that helps with bloat cramps gas and stomach pain which I get really really bad
thanks for sharing x
Thankyou Becky .. did your Nutella brownies at the weekend ..yummy
Yes we have that sand too...I did wonder why my car was so dirty
ooo delish, hope you enjoyed!! Yes we need to wash out car now!! xx
I WISH this tradition would catch on in America. We barely have anything like it, I miss getting chocolate eggs at Easter time.
I can't believe America doesnt go big on Easter, the amount of eggs here is crazy! xx
Great video Becky
Thankyou for sharing. Really love listening to you and watching your videos x
Thanks so much mdear! x
Thank you im Both and my son's 🦋
Hi Becky. I had been feeling off like you and found out that a lot of brands of herbs and spices have now gluten in them
Hi Pauline, so sorry to hear. In terms of herbs and spices they will clearly state on the label if they do contain gluten, it can't be hidden as thats against the law - it makes it easier for us to know :) i havent found any new ones that do recently though luckily xxx
Hi Becky I have to take the sibo test I’m a bit nervous to take it did it make u feel sick ? And how did u manage with such a limited diet the day before
Didn't make me feel sick no it was fine :) i remember just eating really plain things at home - as it was only for a day i didn't mind too much - was excited to eat other things afterwards!! Good luck! xx
Do you have a problem with birds custard it really makes me feel bloated is there a alternative you know of?
Not that i know of, but i can't have huge amounts of corn in my diet so i would likely have to limit it as that is the main ingredient i believe. You can buy readymade custard both with dairy and without if that helps (gluten free too of course) x
It's like going through a maze trying to find what will help. There's so much conflicting advise about what to eat or not eat. I appreciate these videos so we can share ideas. I recently heard about foods high in oxalates as being part of the puzzle for some people. It's not like you just eat low oxalate and see if you feel better. It can cause a toxic dump if not done slowly. Things like grains, spinach and almonds, are some of the high oxalate foods. Has anyone else heard about this? It seems to have merit but I'm still researching it. Also, I find eating later in the day allows me to have productive time to get things done. Actually, I'm just eating one meal a day, about 1:00 in the afternoon. Then I sit in a recliner a few hours after my meal. It's crazy but really helps. Not a cure but a hack for now.
Your videos, are just so helpful. It so nice to feel, you are not the only one going through these digestive issues. And having to cut out things like gluten, dairy, onions, garlic and just how much stress plays a role. Here in Western Australia, Covid numbers have soared and my daughter has just had a baby girl. She had to have an emergency C-section and the baby was put in a high care for a few days. Also because of Covid only her partner could visit. They are home now, but the stress has been so bad and my IBS reflects that. Thank you for being such a warm and friendly person. I feel like you’re a friend, who pops in for a visit, when you do these vlogs and share how you feel.💜🇦🇺
Thanks for the video Becky ☺️ I always steer away from Nestlé products so won't be buying those.
my question for you is.....how do you travel with IBS? I have a trip coming up in a month and have a 9 1/2 hour car ride each way.
I guess it depends on what your IBS is like. Mine is IBS-C so i don't tend to need to rush to the loo (quite the opposite!!) but regardless i find planning really helps. Planning stops in your journey if you can, bringing safe foods with you and lots of water too. Wearing really comfortable clothing too xxx
@@BeckyExcell unfortunately, I am mixed IBS but tend to be more C than D
I hope your tummy is feeling better soon, there is nothing worse than a flare up. I totally understand, my IBS is so bad atm, my hot water bottle and cosy cuddles with my little dog are big comforts. I’ve been low fodmap for ages but feel there is something triggering it, not sure if it’s food related or stress (lots of stress atm ). I am having a pill camera procedure next month. I am so nervous about it, have you ever had one?
Hey mdear, so sorry to hear yours is bad to, its so unfair and frustrating isn't it! Never had a pill cam before but know lots of people who have - good luck and more importantly hope they can work out what the problem is! xxx
@@BeckyExcell thank you so much xx
I've had that weird pain after moving from an odd scrunched position. Nice to know it isn't just me 😅
Thank you so much for this helpful video about what Easter Eggs are gluten free. X
Have you tried the hot cross bun fudge from the coop? It's really good.
This was so helpful, thank you for going through the eggs like that 💕
Have you looked into the Low fodmap diet?
Everything she does is low fodmap.
I did the low fodmap diet many years ago actually and manage it these days in the personalisation phase :) the first 6-8 weeks elimination was tough but i found a lot of things i can't eat via that xx
