My Must Have Products To Restore Your Gut Health
15
items I have always struggled with my gut health and have looked for products that are great and restoring your microbiome and eliminating IBS symptoms.
I take this probiotic every day and it helps my gut health a lot! If I miss a dose I notice a big difference. It has over 50 billion CFUs and is certified organic.
Probiotics & Digestion - Dr. Axe
Great for constipation and slow motility! The triphala fruits are a great natural supplement to take if you struggle with these. There are many research studies showing the benefits of triphala and it is a safe supplement.

I take the citrate glycinate blend of capsules and they are a must have for me when it comes to preventing migraines and keeping bowels regular
Magnesium Soft Chews, Capsules, & Supplements
Fiber is an absolute must if you are struggling with gut health! Not all fiber is the same however. I found this product to be easy on the stomach and no flavor which was important to me. One serving has 6g of fiber which is a great way to supplement. Most Americans don't get the recommended daily fiber intakes, so supplementing with a powder like this is so easy. I put it in my coffee or electrolyte drink.
BlueBonnet Sunfiber 6g Plant Prebiotic Fiber
This is another fiber supplement I have taken in the past. I love the quality ingredients in it. It does have a slight sweet taste so keep that in mind if you want to add to coffee to other drinks. I put in my electrolyte drink and I dont notice it at all!
Sprout Living Organic Inulin Prebiotic Powder
I take digestive enzymes to help with bowel movements and these are good because they contain HCL and ox bile which my nutritionist recommended. Plus NOW supplements can be more affordable, some digestive enzymes can get expensive.
NOW Super Enzymes
This is another digestive enzyme I have taken in the past and I found effective. In particular I liked the fact it has lactose digesting enzyme in it, since I am likely lactose intolerant it helped me!
Enzymedica Digest Full-Range Digestive Enzymes
I took the sodium butyrate when I was trying o fix my gut issues. Some tests showed I had impaired short chain fatty acid absorption and it was targeted to help with that. Fat malabsorption can be an issue when it comes to constipation or diarrhea.
BodyBio Butyrate Supplement - Gut Health
Caprylic acid is a fantastic supplement if you are dealing with candida issues. Candida can cause a multitude of symptoms from GI issues to skin rashes. Do you have a white film on your tongue when waking up in the morning? If so, chances are you have an overgrowth of candida. This supplement can be used to help fight candida overgrowth.
Pure Encapsulations Caprylic Acid Supplement
I absolutely love these crackers. There are no bad ingredients in them (maltodextrin is the only one I question, but it is non-GMO which is important). They use olive oil which is SO MUCH better than most chips and crackers out there that use inflammatory oils. If you have a Sam's Club near you, they have boxes of two bags in them for the price of one bag at most other stores. Plus, the flax is high...
Crunchmaster Multi Grain Crackers
Siggi's is one of the top brands I recommend for yogurts. Many use high heat processing and while they claim to have high strains of probiotics, it depends on when they do the pasteurization which can kill the beneficial bacteria. Supposedly Siggis is better when it comes to this. I enjoy this yogurt, it is not my favorite but definitely top 5.
Siggis Skyr Icelandic 4% Plain Yogurt 24oz
Bubbies sauerkraut is a brand I like because its naturally fermented. So many of the products out there have added sugars or other unnecessary ingredients. The natural fermentation is fantastic for gut health.
Bubbies Sauerkraut
I love grass fed cheeses! The fact this is a raw cheese made from pasture raised grass fed cows makes it so healthy. The healthy fats in this cheese are so gut friendly and it is delicious! Have you ever compared the ingredients on this compared to a Kraft American cheese product? That is not even cheese! This is, get it.
Organic Valley Grassmilk Raw Organic Cheddar
Now, while it would be preferable for these to be organic, I love the fact that there are NO added oils to these. Do you know how hard it is to find mixed nuts that arent fried in an inflammatory seed oil? These are a great snack and are a perfect addition for your gut heath pantry.
Fisher Oven Roasted Never Fried Deluxe Mixed Nuts
These make for a great on the go snack. I love how they are organic, and including dates, seeds and goji, they are a superfood and are something worth trying!
