The Tummy Clinic | December 8th, 2022

Delicious and packed full of calcium from the yogurt, you can mix and match as many low FODMAP toppings as you please for added crunch and flavour.

✔️ 4 ingredients
✔️ 4 steps
✔️ 10 min prep time
✔️ 90 min cook time
✔️ Serves 5

Ingredients:

2 cups plain lactose free yogurt 520 g
1/2 cup chopped strawberries 90 g
2 tbs pumpkin seeds 23 g
30g dark chocolate, shaved or grated 30 g

Instructions:

Prepare a baking tray by lining it with baking paper.
Spread the yogurt out with a spoon or spatula evenly into the baking paper until you get the desired thickness that you want your bark. Sprinkle with strawberries, chocolate and pumpkin seeds.
Place in the freezer – this will vary depending on how thick your yogurt base is (may take anywhere between 90 minutes or you may prefer to do it overnight).
Once frozen, chop and break up into different sizes. Store into an airtight container for up to one week.

Hints:

For those who have a sweet tooth, choose a flavoured lactose-free yogurt as the base!

For different toppings, remember that lots of foods that contain FODMAPs can be eaten safely at small serve sizes.

Some other favourite low FODMAP flavour combinations include:

Kiwifruit, shredded coconut and goji berries
Maple granola & strawberries
Peanut butter, maple syrup and dark chocolate

Are your visits covered by OHIP or your provincial health care plan?

Visits at the Tummy Clinic are not covered by OHIP or your provincial health care system, however, most extended healthcare plans cover many aspects of the care you will receive here, such as visits to Naturopathic Doctors, Dietitians, Social Workers or Psychotherapists. Check your benefits package or contact your insurance company for more information.

What will my first visit look like?

Prior to your first visit, you will be asked to fill out intake forms providing basic information about your current health concerns, past health history, family history and other basic information.

Your first visit will be with one of our Naturopathic Doctors and will last approximately 60 minutes. Your Naturopathic Doctor will do a full assessment and devise a personalized treatment protocol incorporating our unique team of Dietitians, Nurse Practitioners and Psychotherapists.

How are we different?

We hear you. We create personalized plans designed to take your unique symptoms and concerns seriously. Our protocols are designed by a team of Gastroenterologists and reflect an evidence-based approach. We work together to make sure we are all in sync.

Will I be seeing one of the Gastroenterologists?

If your family doctor feels assessment with a Gastroenterologist is required and you haven’t already been assessed by one-our clinic will happily redirect referrals from family doctors to our Gastroenterologists.

Otherwise, our program is focused on the aspects of your treatment plan that our Gastroenterologists feel would best be provided by our specialized team members
