Meal Prep For IBS
Why Meal Prep Matters for IBS
Managing irritable bowel syndrome can feel overwhelming. Unpredictable ibs symptoms, dietary restrictions, and the daily challenge of figuring out which foods are safe can take a toll on your digestive health. Meal prep for IBS provides structure and predictability, making it easier to maintain gut health. Thoughtfully prepared low FODMAP meals allow you to avoid common triggers while supporting smooth digestion with balanced meals that include protein, healthy fats, and vegetables. At Fresh in Your Fridge, our Vancouver-based personal chef service takes the guesswork out of meal prep for IBS. Each low FODMAP meal is crafted by a holistic chef in collaboration with registered dietitians and personalized to your dietary needs and taste preferences. From garlic-infused olive oil to gluten free bread, your meals are designed to support gut health while being both delicious and satisfying.
Step By Step
STEP 1
We Match
The first step is setting up a discovery call with our team. Let us understand your lifestyle, goals, and preferences, all of which will be documented in your custom profile. We then match you with one of our holistic chefs. You’ll then have a chance to talk to your chef in-depth about your needs and review your first menu together.
STEP 2
We Plan & Personalize
Each week, your chef creates a personalized menu just for you, no matter how complex your needs are. They take into account your preferences, sensitivities, and goals. You’ll receive your menu 72 hours in advance of your scheduled service day and will get a chance to provide modifications to your chef.
STEP 3
We Shop
The cost of premium groceries are included in your service. Your holistic chef does all the shopping and ordering. All produce is organic and we shop only for what’s needed to reduce waste. Our kitchen is stocked with high quality pantry ingredients – we don’t use any highly processed ingredients like refined sugars or seed oils.
STEP 4
We Cook
Your holistic chef will spend anywhere from 3-5 hours cooking for you in our commercial kitchen. All meals are packed in our reusable glass containers, labelled, and placed in insulated cooler bags. Your meals are delivered the same afternoon by our friendly delivery team. Our drivers always give you an ETA when they leave the kitchen so you know when to expect your meals!
STEP 5
You Eat
With Fresh In Your Fridge, meals are ready to go. Simply reheat and enjoy them! Let your chef know what you loved and what you didn’t, and they will plan next week’s menu accordingly. Your reusable containers are picked up with your next delivery, no need to deal with recycling or excess packaging!

Common IBS Triggers to Watch Out For
Certain foods can trigger IBS symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular digestion. Being aware of these common triggers can help you manage your gut health effectively:
-
High-FODMAP Foods: Ingredients like garlic, onions, canned chickpeas, and canned lentils may cause bloating or discomfort.
-
Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, and other dairy items can trigger symptoms for those who are lactose intolerant.
-
Gluten-Containing Grains: Conventional pasta, bread, and other wheat-based foods may be problematic for some individuals.
-
Fatty or Fried Foods: Heavy, greasy meals can slow digestion and worsen ibs symptoms.
-
Artificial Sweeteners: Sugar alcohols and other sweeteners can irritate the gut.
-
Other Potential Triggers: Soy sauce, carbonated beverages, and certain fruits or vegetables may need to be monitored depending on your tolerance.
Eating a low FODMAP diet doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor. Our holistic chefs create low FODMAP recipes and meals using gut-friendly ingredients like gluten free pasta, almond milk and green beans. By customizing your meal prep for IBS, we help you enjoy a varied, nourishing diet that supports gut health, reduces flare-ups, and gives you more confidence with every meal.
These amazing people are lifesavers. For someone with complex dietary restrictions or just not a lot of time on their hands (or both) it is incredibly liberating not to have to worry about having delicious food on hand.
