My Story
I had been suffering for many years with uncomfortable symptoms on a daily or weekly basis including cramps, fatigue, back pain, bloating and the other (oh so lovely) symptoms of IBS.
In 2015 I hit the limit of pain, discomfort and the inconvenience of feeling this way and finally made an appointment with a doctor. Diagnosed with IBS, I was advised to follow a low FODMAP diet. I researched what convenient low FODMAP foods I could get in the UK and was disappointed to find there was virtually nothing – so I began to make every single meal from scratch!
Working long hours and living alone, it wasn’t sustainable to follow this diet, making every meal from scratch every day. I knew that a huge amount of people were suffering like me (1 in 5 suffer with IBS) and so I knew there had to be a better way. I decided to develop my own low FODMAP foods which were tasty and convenient… and Bay’s Kitchen was born!
Proud to be apart of...
I'm thrilled to have joined the Buy Woman Built community as it's all about empowering women in business and celebrating their achievements. It's a platform that enables us to connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate the value of supporting female entrepreneurs and shouting about our amazing businesses. I am also very proud to be part of the Be Your Own Inner Circle; a private members club for women in business. It's a fantastic community of female business owners of which I have formed genuine connections and we offer support to one another.
Our Brand
Bay’s Kitchen was born from a desire to create a new range of low FODMAP food products to help fellow IBS sufferers find food which is low in FODMAP’s, yet tastes great and is convenient for our fast-paced lives.
We have worked really hard to develop recipes which are low FODMAP and Gluten Free, yet taste great and mean we don’t have to miss out on delicious food!
We have received so much positive feedback for our products and even won Gold & Silver at the Free From Food Awards! We have listened to our customers feedback and are constantly in the process of developing new recipes and products to launch, which are of course all certified Low FODMAP!
To give you peace of mind, we always certify our products to be Low FODMAP and Gluten Free, to help you enjoy food yet live a more symptom free life!
Our Mission
It is my mission to continue to expand this range of Low FODMAP foods to offer people suffering with digestive issues top quality delicious food that meets their dietary needs and lifestyle.
Living with IBS, it is also my mission to increase awareness of the condition and remove the ‘taboo’ that surrounds it, empowering more people to talk about their lives with IBS and to offer support and advice to one-another. Raised awareness of IBS and the low FODMAP diet will make the simplest of things (like eating out) far easier and more enjoyable.
