Yummy IBS friendly Gluten-free Oatmeal bites

Written By Marica Gaspic

I get a busy hectic life , and need to feed/ fuel to keep going . I also get having #ibs and #foodintolerances !  Finding recipes and foods that support but don’t cause distress has been a journey.. on top of my particular palate . 

Sharing a recipe for these amazing oatmeal/banana bites.

Oatmeal/banana bites adopted from #skinnytaste .

These are filled with goodness and supportive of my #gut . A great addition to my breakfast routine. 

They are made with oatmeal/banana bites with walnuts, dark chocolate , cinnamon/nutmeg .
No added sugar! Bananas bring the sweetness. 

The recipe is so simple and easy to make…
2 ripened bananas
1 cup Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts 
1/4 cup dark chocolate bits
Nutmeg to desired taste
Cinnamon to desired taste

Preheat oven to 350F and prep cookie sheet with layer of parchment paper.

Peel and mash the bananas to smooth consistency. Sprinkle in nutmeg and cinnamon and fold into bananas to get consistency. These spices are optional. Add in chocolate bits and mix then walnuts. Mixing the last two ingredients to distribute evenly. Then start fading the oatmeal and mixing until you get consistency. 

Once all the ingredients are mixed you can use small ice cream scoop to create the bite size balls and place on cookie sheet. 

Bake for 15 min. Each small oatmeal bite is about 100 calories if you are counting ☺️.

Love them as they have a lot of good nutrients, energy, fiber. Easy to make and easier to grab when needed especially to take on the road. 

You know the challenge with eating and #ibs ?!! Finding foods that work with my body so important! 

Enjoy!

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.
