Could a unique loaf of bread be the solution to irritable bowel syndrome? Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website has lauded a Mayo baker’s €25 ‘miracle loaf’ known as ‘magic poo bread’.
The €25 Happy Tummy Loaf, created by the Irish Happy Tummy Company in Westport, Co. Mayo, was praised by Gwyneth Paltrow‘s site on a date not specified. The loaf, also known as ‘2 Day Soaked Wholegrain Chia Teff Loaf’, is made from 15 ingredients including unconventional flours like buckwheat and teff, a grass seed, along with chia seeds, crushed linseed, nuts, eggs, lemon juice, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar, writes Extra.ie.
According to the company, the two-day baking process ensures the ingredients ‘enter your gut ready to digest and bring you maximum nourishment’. Each slice contains roughly 10g of fibre and 11g of protein.
Comparatively, a typical supermarket wholemeal loaf has about 3g of fibre and 4g of protein per slice. The Happy Tummy Co. was started in Hackney, East London, by Karen O’Donoghue, who expressed her need for ‘real, digestible bread’.
Karen, who is now also located in Teach Scoile, Westport, Co. Mayo, believes it’s the ‘place to engage with the science behind the food that we eat. And in so doing, Karen hopes to inspire prevention before cure.
‘The Happy Tummy Co. was born out of a need to feel wild and free. Growing up a constipated mess, with inflammation caused by IBS negatively infiltrating my mental and physical well-being, I gradually resolved that one day I would feel free of all strains on my body through a food-based solution. And once I’d discovered this solution, I couldn’t wait to get it out to everyone! What joy it was to discover happiness,’ she said.
The Happy Tummy Loaf, with its 15 ingredients, aims to counter the commoditisation of food that has ‘diminished the quality in our food system’.
On Goop‘s website, they stated she is ‘on a mission to cure IBS by way of her now legendary fermented chia teff loaf, which has become a go-to not just for those with a serious condition, but for anyone hoping to improve their digestion.’
A passing fad.
Isn’t Paltrow the one who was shoving rocks up her vagina a year or so ago? I guess that fad blew over and she’s on to the next.
Poor hollyweirdians, always something with that crowd.
I like them high rise jeans. Wonder if Laz would agree.
I thought the fad was ice cream or yogurt up the vagina.
ping for later.
I'm of the opinion that Laz would ask...
is there a flap in the back of those jeans?
When you pay 25 euros for a loaf of bread, the price effect guarantees the bread cures your problem.
Same as $500 bottles of wine, or $10,000 speaker wires.
I believe the procedure now is the fecal matter transplant for IBD. Not kidding.
What I’ve read makes this sound really good. Food is always better than drugs.....if the food works. This lady is very passionate about what she does. Unfortunately, it is very expensive.

I like teff! It has a really nice complex flavor.
do I really have to add that I am not that kind of doctor and I do not recomend anyone try this ?
well I did anyway just in case
I wonder if it’s gluten free? If so, it’s amazing that’s not the first thing said about it.
It’s the whole grain bread I suspect.
This is a fascinating, albeit long, video. It really gets into the meat of the material at about the 35 minute mark.

She advocates for freshly milled wheat flour and explains the nutritional value and the health benefits of it and a brief history of flour production. She explains digestion pretty thoroughly. Basically, fiber is your friend.
It's truly amazing what just three basic ingredients (flour, water and salt) can create.
It's very easy to digest. I don't know if it helps prevent IBS, but it sure is good!
Here's today's loaf right out of the oven...
Very likely, teff won't make a rising dough due to no gluten, I think buckwheat won't either. The egg probably provides the sticky protein to allow a risen loaf.
Paltrow's "Goop" followers aren't worried about paying €25 for a loaf of bread. They can afford it.
For the people who cringe at paying this much, well, they're not Patrow's audience.
These are people who have custom-built $25,000 refrigerators and $40,000 stovetop/ovens that you'll never come close to seeing at Home Depot.
Few of us can comprehend the domestic luxuries that this demographic enjoys (think, Pelosi's ice cream stash).
I have read of some success with that method.
Makes some sense to have the correct internal biota.
That looks amazing.
