Bone Broth
Not just a trendy buzzword—bone broth is loaded with amino acids that help repair and soothe your gut lining. Sip it straight, use it for soups, or cook your rice in it for an extra gut-loving boost.
And these packets are even better! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve thrown out bone broth because I couldn’t use it fast enough.

Gluten-Free Pasta
Quick dinner hero right here. Pair it with a simple sauce (see #7) or toss in olive oil and Italian seasoning, then add some lean protein, and boom—you’ve got a meal in 20 minutes that won’t leave you bloated.
Canned Tuna (Wild-Caught)
Protein + omega-3s + convenience = pantry perfection. Mix with avocado for a quick lunch, toss on top of a salad, or make tuna patties when you’re feeling fancy-ish. Sometimes, I just eat in with a few gf crackers!

Rice or Quinoa
I’m all about shortcuts that don’t sacrifice health. These pouches are lifesavers when you need a grain base fast. Great for stir-fries, bowls, or when your energy is “nah.”

Nut Butter
Snack-time magic. Stir into oats, spread on rice cakes, or eat a spoonful when hunger strikes. Just make sure you grab one without added sugar or weird oils.
Spread it, blend it into smoothies, or stir into your oats an easy protein boost.
Low-FODMAP Tomato Sauce
Did you know that most jarred sauces are gut bombs loaded with onion and garlic? Not this one. A clean marinara means you can have pasta night without the regret.
Skip the hidden triggers and keep pasta night gut-friendly. This sauce has the flavor minus the gut drama.
