Read MoreVegetables are healthy and important part of our diet, but eating them in their raw state too frequently is not always the BEST way to consume them. The key with vegetables is to prepare them properly to take some of the stress off of our digestive systems.

Read MoreThis celery soup is, light flavourful and perfect for a warm day. Whats even better, it’s good for your gut! The digestive benefits of celery are partly due to its diuretic effects — and also because it boosts circulation within the intestines, therefore helping improve digestion and relieving bloating and puffiness from water retention. It can provide polyphenols (can boost digestive and help protect again disease) and fiber and that may have prebiotic like effects, supporting the growth of good bacteria in our gut.

Read MoreThese gluten free pancakes take the cake for keeping you regular as they contain a good amount of flaxseed! Insoluble fiber (such as flax seed) will help you GO! Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water + is left intact through the digestion process. It can help to speed up the passage of food through the stomach + intestine. It also adds bulk to the stool + can help relieve constipation.
