I started my blog many years ago when I tried out the paleo diet to help manage lifelong IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Currently, aside from sticking with foods that help me feel my best, I also make sure my morning routine includes a probiotic to help with my IBS symptoms – which I can happily report have been under control lately!
I always start out my morning with lots of water and a simple smoothie packed with lots of goodies. I’ve gotten lots of questions about the recipe I use – you can find it here!
The Probiotic I Use to Help Manage IBS
With my daily smoothie I make sure to take my VSL#3®! It’s the probiotic my gastroenterologist has always recommended to help me manage my IBS.
Putting good food in your body and fitting in movement every day are great to keep your gut health balanced of course. But adding VSL#3® high-potency probiotic to your daily routine can also help keep your digestive health in check!
VSL#3® is a probiotic medical food formulated for the dietary management of ulcerative colitis (UC), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or an ileal pouch.
It provides advanced probiotic support with a combination of 8 strains of bacteria as well as a high colony forming unit (CFU) count. This helps more “good” bacteria survive the GI tract to have a beneficial effect.
Many other probiotics found on the shelf are single strain probiotics. I did not realize this! VSL#3® Capsules (112.5 billion CFU) have about 10 times more bacteria than the leading commercially sold OTC probiotic* giving your gut more of the healthy bacteria it needs to ward off the bad.
*Compared to Culturelle and Align
All strengths of VSL#3® require refrigeration to ensure the live bacteria remain alive and maintain potency. Because of this, when you order online, VSL#3® is shipped cold, in a cooler with ice packs to preserve product potency. Y
ou can shop directly on www.vsl3.com and enter the code TRYVSL3 at checkout to save $5! VSL#3 is also available at retail locations & independent pharmacies nationwide.
VSL#3® come in capsule form or unflavored packets. It can be consumed with or mixed in cold water or a cold, non-carbonated beverage, or a cold food, such as yogurt or apple sauce. This makes my smoothie perfect!
VSL#3® products should not be mixed with hot beverages or hot foods as high heat inactivates the live bacteria found in the product.

Just a note to say I really appreciate you! I have tried several of your recipes and they are always delicious. It’s challenging to find a variety of recipes that are both healthy and delicious! And you manage to do that over and over! After a health scare a few years ago I quit sugar and added healthy habits. It can be done! Your website and posts have really helped! It’s the little things in life that matter😊 God bless you!
I have been collecting your recipes for years. They are consistently very good. Thank you for everything you do. I love eating paleo. It keeps the inflammation in my body down. I noticed an extreme decrease in chronic neck and shoulder pain (that I no longer have) after I went paleo. It also helps to manage my weight and I am 55 and going through menopause. You are a very good recipe creator. Thanks again for all of the delicious recipes.
The recipes I have used have always been great. I don’t eat paleo (pre-diabetic, so protein and veggies for the most part for me) and some are too high in fat for me, but I always appreciate your blog and explanations, and some delicious recipes.
Do you have a hardcover recipe book? It so much easier for me to grab a book than search the site.
Every recipe I’ve tried, I love!
I second the request for a hard cover book, so much easier. Love your recipes, always sooo good. And really good for you!! I have IBS so they are really appreciated.

Thank you for your blog! It was a challenge for me to find anything decent that’s recipe-related, and I’m glad I discovered your blog. Now I’m struggling to find a good blog about clothing, mostly because I wear Hijab and Muslim traditional clothing, but I still don’t understand why it’s so hard to find at least something.
Your initiative demands praise. Great stuff! Thanks. Anyways have a great day. Please keep posting your articles consistently.cost of truvada
