Digestive health starts with good eating. Keep your mealtimes healthy - and appetizing too - with our recipe suggestions.
Pasta and Beans
Bow tie pasta, with a variety of protein-rich beans, tossed with an olive oil and garlic sauce, it’s a light yet flavorful Italian experience.
Vegetable Chicken Stir-Fry
This simple meal is high in fiber and low in sugar and saturated fats. The vegetables are not overly fibrous and are considered to be neutralizing for the digestive system. The ginger works as a digestive aid as well. To make a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add the vegetables directly to the olive oil, garlic, and ginger, then add 1 cup of shelled edamame soybeans (total stir-fry time should not exceed 10 minutes with the soybeans). Serves 6.
