Bay’s Kitchen, founded by IBS sufferer Bay Burdett, produces award-winning, Low FODMAP* (IBS Friendly), Gluten Free, Dairy Free foods. Their products don’t contain any hard-to-digest ingredients yet they are full of flavour!

Bay began suffering from gut issues in 2012. As many others do, Bay ignored and hid her symptoms as best she could for years due to feeling embarrassed. At the time, there was a lot more stigma surrounding gut issues which definitely impacted how she felt and her ability to open up to others about what she was going through. In 2015, she reached the limit of her pain. It was impacting her quality of life significantly and stopping her from enjoying everyday things so she decided to consult her doctor.

After some tests, Bay was diagnosed with IBS and was handed a post-it note that said ‘Low FODMAP Diet*’ and was advised to give it a go. With very little information, Bay didn’t know how or where to start and decided to dig deeper. After researching the diet and understanding how it worked, Bay soon realised there were very few convenient, tasty low FODMAP* foods available in the UK. Having also found that 1 in 5 people are diagnosed with IBS (and 1 in 3 suffer with IBS type symptoms), she knew it wasn’t just her that was looking for these types of foods that didn’t contain hard-to-digest ingredients like onion, garlic, lentils and wheat. She started cooking sauces from scratch at home and realised that you could make delicious dishes that were easy on the stomach… and the idea for Bay’s Kitchen was born!

Bay went on to launch Bay’s Kitchen’s first three certified Low FODMAP Stir-in Sauces in 2018, which are also Gluten & Dairy Free certified. Since then, Bay’s Kitchen has gone from strength to strength, working tirelessly on new products, recipes, blog posts and more to help fellow IBS sufferers.

Bay set out to create the top certified Low FODMAP food range in the UK and she succeeded! With over 20 products including sauces, stocks, soups, pestos and more, Bay’s Kitchen really is leading the space in IBS-friendly foods. Now the team of three; including Megan (Marketing Manager) and Lexie (Supply Chain Manager), aim to be a top resource in the health space, not only for delicious products but for interesting and useful information too.

Here’s a quote from Bay herself “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… By working alongside UCU Nutrition and supporting their new IBS Recovery Course programme, we hope to help IBS sufferers take back control of their gut health and improve their quality of life.

Over the years, Bay’s Kitchen has gained hundreds of fantastic reviews showing just how invaluable their products are. They’ve even been told by one customer that they saved their marriage! They have also won more than 20 industry awards, including Great Taste, Nourish and Free From Food Awards.

All of their products are certified Low FODMAP by FODMAP Friendly in Australia. They also test and certify for being Gluten Free and Dairy Free, with all products being made in a Nut Free factory.
