About the Book

Simple, steady, BAM-friendly eating

Living with Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM) can turn every meal into a question mark. One wrong ingredient and the rest of your day can unravel. This cookbook was created to give you something many people with BAM haven’t felt in a long time: confidence at the table.

The Complete 14 Day BAM Friendly Cookbook gives you a gentle, structured plan: fourteen days of carefully designed low-fat meals using everyday ingredients. Each day follows the same reassuring rhythm—breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack—so you never have to wonder what to eat next.

Every recipe is built with BAM in mind: small portions of fat, lean protein, soothing carbohydrates and flavours chosen to be kind to a sensitive gut. The focus isn’t on restriction for its own sake, but on finding meals that feel safe, satisfying and repeatable.

What You’ll Find Inside

A calm plan, not a crash diet

A 14-Day Framework You Can Actually Use

  • 56 BAM-friendly recipes – four per day, across two full weeks.
  • A mix of light breakfasts, soothing lunches, comforting dinners and gentle snacks, all built to be low in fat.
  • Clear guidance on approximate fat ranges per serving to help you keep daily fat intake steady and predictable.
  • Recipes based on ordinary supermarket ingredients – lean white fish, poultry, egg whites, lentils, rice, potatoes, vegetables, fruit and fat-free or lower-fat dairy alternatives.
  • Suggestions for tweaks if you also navigate IBS-D, reflux, or general gut sensitivity.
Please note: This book is a supportive guide, not a medical textbook. Always check changes to your diet with your doctor, especially if you take bile acid binders or have other health conditions.

Who This Cookbook Is For

  • People with a formal diagnosis of BAM who feel lost when it comes to everyday meals.
  • Those with post-surgery bile acid diarrhea or IBS-D-type symptoms, looking for a calmer way to eat.
  • Partners, parents and carers who want to cook safely for someone with BAM without making separate meals.
  • Anyone who wants a gentle low-fat template that doesn’t feel like a crash diet or a fad.

BAM-friendly cooking
Low-fat meal planning

Angela knows first-hand from a close friend how frightening and isolating eating can feel after a diagnosis of Bile Acid Malabsorption. Her friend struggled to find recipes that were both low in fat and genuinely enjoyable, so Angela began developing her own meals — testing, adjusting and repeating them until they were safe and sustainable.

This cookbook is the result: a calm, practical collection of recipes that have been prepared with BAM always in mind. Angela’s goal is simple: to help you spend less time worrying about food and more time actually eating it.
