RECIPE ROUNDUP: 10 Gut Focused Meals Found in Meal Garden
The start of any gut-healing journey can feel overwhelming. You know something’s up in your body, but playing Sherlock can make your head spin.
Gluten-free this, egg-free that, and what the heck are FODMAPs?
It can be hard to know where to start.
The truth is, many factors can play a role in gut health. Inflammatory foods, stress, and medications can all affect your digestion and should be considered when starting to rebalance the digestive tract, but luckily, a few key important stages can get you on your way to rebalancing and healing your gut!
That’s why we’ve put together our first-ever Meal Garden Gut Healing Program — so you can learn the 4 stages of gut healing and stay on track with made-for-you recipe collections designed to help you get back to feeling great.
