Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

Living with IBS can feel like walking a tightrope — especially when it comes to food. One day you’re eating clean, the next you’re doubled over with bloating or pain, wondering what went wrong. I know the feeling all too well. As someone who’s lived with IBS for years, I understand the hesitation, the restriction, and the fear that can creep into something as simple as enjoying dessert.

But what if dessert didn’t have to be off-limits?

This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble is my answer to that question — a sweet, tangy, gut-friendly recipe you can actually enjoy without the post-meal regret.

Why I Created This Recipe

I’m Marica Gaspic Piskovic — pharmacist, gut health coach, and someone who lives with IBS every day. Over the years, I’ve learned how to adapt my approach to food so I don’t have to feel deprived. I’m also gluten and dairy intolerant, so finding satisfying treats that won’t upset my gut has become a bit of an art form.

This crumble is one of my favourite creations. It’s made with:

  • Gluten-free oats

  • Tapioca (to gently absorb juices)

  • Rhubarb and strawberries — low FODMAP in the right amounts

  • Coconut oil and coconut ice cream (optional) for a creamy, dairy-free finish

It’s simple. It’s nourishing. And it’s designed to support digestion, not sabotage it.

Joyful Eating Is Possible with IBS

One of the biggest myths about IBS is that you have to eat bland, boring meals forever. But your gut doesn’t just need restriction — it needs support, diversity, and nourishment. The key is knowing what works for you.

This recipe is part of my broader philosophy: that food can be joyful, delicious, and safe. You don’t have to fear every bite. You just need the right tools, knowledge, and guidance to get back to a place of confidence.

A Slice of Sweet Freedom 🍓

So go ahead — say yes to dessert again. Let this Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble be a small but powerful reminder that healing doesn’t mean missing out. Download the recipe, make it, and enjoy every bite.
