The 3 Gut-Healing Superstars You Need to Know

Hello, dear readers!

Welcome to another edition of Resilient Roads: Tales of Health and Healing, where we explore practical ways to nourish, support, and strengthen your gut so you can live a life free from the fear of flare-ups.

When healing from diverticulitis, every choice we make either supports or stresses our gut. That’s why today, I want to talk about three gut-friendly superstars—bone broth, collagen, and gelatin—that can help rebuild and strengthen digestion at every stage of healing.

🦴 Bone Broth (Stage 1): The Gut Protector

In the first stage of your gut health journey, bone broth plays a crucial role. Rich in amino acids like glycine and proline, it helps repair the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and provide essential nutrients that are easy to absorb.

💪 Collagen (Stage 2): The Smoothie Enhancer 

As you progress to Stage 2, collagen is a perfect addition to your smoothies. It provides gentle protein support (20g per serving!) without the harsh additives found in many protein powders.

🍮 Gelatin: The Versatile Healer 

Gelatin, introduced in Stage 1 and continuing into Stage 2, supports gut repair while adding a delightful variety to your meals—perfect for enhancing both texture and gut health benefits.

By integrating these nutritional powerhouses, you're not just eating—you’re actively healing your gut, one step at a time.

Gut Health Tip: Making Digestion Easier

As you reintroduce solid foods, it’s common to experience bloating, gas, or discomfort. That doesn’t mean your gut can’t handle it—it just means it needs a little support.

Here’s what helps:

1. Chew your food well – Digestion starts in the mouth!
2. Eat slowly & in a calm environment – Stress directly impacts digestion.
3. Take digestive enzymes if needed – A quality enzyme can help break down proteins, carbs, and fats, making digestion easier and reducing bloating.

I personally use and recommend Transformation Digest to make food transitions smoother. If you’d like to try it, you can use code YOUNT25 for 25% off.
