A Crumble That Loves Your Gut Back — My IBS-Friendly Strawberry Rhubarb Recipe

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.

And if you’re still feeling confused, overwhelmed, or stuck in the cycle of restriction and flares — I’m here to help.

Living with IBS can quietly take over your life — not just through pain and bloating, but through the constant uncertainty, loss of confidence, and fear of not being able to trust your own body.

I help high-performing women with IBS move from symptom-chasing to true physiological stability — by understanding IBS as what modern gastroenterology defines it to be: a disorder of gut–brain interaction involving the nervous system, microbiome, immune function, and stress physiology.

As a pharmacist and gut health coach — and as someone who has personally lived with IBS — I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding to the work we do together. My clients don’t just “manage” IBS. They rebuild trust in their body, regain energy and confidence, and create a sustainable system of support that fits their real life.

This is not about restriction or short-term fixes.

It’s about building a body that finally makes sense.

Why Work With Me

Personal Experience

I have lived with IBS and successfully stabilized my own health — giving me deep insight into both the emotional and physiological realities of this condition.

Clinical Expertise

As a pharmacist, I bring evidence-based understanding of human physiology, gut–brain signaling, microbiome science, and medication interactions into every plan I create.

Proven Results

I have guided women through sustainable, personalized recovery frameworks that improve symptoms, restore energy, and dramatically elevate quality of life.

Together, we build a personalized, sustainable gut health strategy that supports your body, your lifestyle, and your long-term wellbeing — so you can live with calm, clarity, and confidence again.
