The 4 best coffee shops to work from in Austin
We’ve got a slightly different type of travel guide today! I haven’t exactly been traveling that much since last March due to the pandemic (sob 😭), so I figured I’d share a guide to all the places I HAVE been going to in the last year: all the coffee shops in Austin…
The Best Negroni Recipe
I’ve been on a negroni kick for um… probably over a year now. At first I thought it was just a fling but at this point we’re probably officially in a long term relationship. I’ve even gotten Marc — a self-described gin hater — to like them! So I figured I’d just make it official…
My no-fail healthy meal formula
Eating healthy meals can seem time-consuming, expensive, complicated, and all around intimidating. I know I’ve probably added to that perception with recipes for pizza that take two days to make, homemade pasta, and homemade granola, plus my constant shopping at Whole Foods. But the truth is…
Spring recipes
Sourdough Babka
So somehow we’ve developed a joke in our family that I’m Polish. Nothing against anybody who is actually Polish, but I am NOT POLISH — I’m half Irish and half Slovak, which is NOT THE SAME, k? I’m sure you can already see how the joke developed…
Creamy Spring Pasta
Enter the perfect springtime dish. Picture this: you’re sipping a nice glass of white wine, the weather is finally that perfect temperature where it’s warm but not too hot yet, you’re on a balcony somewhere, and you have a big bowl of this pasta in front of you. Yes? Can you be on board with this? Thought so.
Strawberry Shortcake {low FODMAP, gluten free}
Is it strawberry season where you are??! Growing up the midwest, my memories of strawberry season are that it was a very short amount of time — like a week — in the end of May or beginning of June. We always made it a point to go strawberry picking, but we never knew when Strawberry Week was going to be, so it was kind of a game…
Strawberry Basil Margarita Recipe
In the however-many-years I’ve been writing this blog, I’ve only ever posted one drink recipe! That is certainly not reflective of the amount that I enjoy a good cocktail. But the reality is…
New to FODMAPs?
Start here.
FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates — AKA a part of some foods (like apples, wheat, and beans) that ferment in the gut, causing stomach pain and bloating. If you’ve been diagnosed with IBS or just feel miserable every time you eat, the low FODMAP diet might be for you!

Side Effects of Birth Control — Facts vs Myths
If you start looking, you’ll find conflicting opinions about birth control everywhere. Some corners of the internet will tell you that hormonal birth control (“HBC”) is “bad” and you shouldn’t be putting synthetic hormones in your body. Or maybe your doctor has told you that it will fix your acne…
Why I Quit the Pill
If you’ve been following for some time, you know I’ve been writing about understanding my hormonal acne for a few years now (and dealing with it for way longer than that). It’s been a frustrating journey…
Healing Hormonal Acne: Vitamins and Medications
I’ve been a bit silent on the acne front here for a minute, and that’s mostly because I’ve had lots going on in my life recently. While I talked recently in my post on stress and perfection about…

American Southwest RV Trip Guide
1300+ miles, 10 days, three amigos, one 24-foot RV. This was a trip of epic proportions very unlike anything we’d done before, but hey — after 6 months of no travel due to the pandemic, I was more than ready for it! If you’d have asked me a year ago (hell, even at the beginning of this year) if I had any desire…

Guide to eating low FODMAP in East Austin
Today we’re continuing our tour of my favorite places to eat in Austin! Up today in my guide to eating low FODMAP in Austin is the east side! Y’all. East Austin is where the good food’s at. I’m writing this post staring at photos of fries and pizza and basically drooling on my computer…
New Orleans Travel Guide

Hey there!
I’m Maria, and here at Go Messy or Go Hungry I share how what we put in our bodies can make us feel our best. After I was diagnosed with IBS in 2014, I knew I had to share what I learned with more people. At GMGH you’ll find tasty recipes, travel guides, and easy to understand articles about gut and hormone health.
Oh, and if I’m cooking, you can bet my kitchen is a mess (but at least I won’t go hungry)!
