Gut Health Menu Plan

Designed to support your microbiome, reduce bloating, and activate the migrating motor complex (MMC) β€” all using real, anti-inflammatory foods. No gimmicks, just meals that help you feel human again.

Disclaimer: This meal plan is based on the foods that helped me during my own gut healing journey. It’s not a one-size-fits-all prescription or a clinical diet. I’m not a dietitian or doctor β€” just someone who’s been through it. Please talk to your healthcare provider or dietitian before making changes to your diet, especially if you have food intolerances, medical conditions, or are under active treatment.
