If your answer to that last question is a resounding “no” or a less certain “maybe,” don’t stress! We rounded up an expert-approved (and seriously comprehensive) list of gut-friendly foods and supplements to kick-start your journey.* Screenshot or bookmark this list to make your life easier next time you head to the supermarket. When possible, registered dietitian and mbg Collective member Jess Cording, M.S., R.D., CDN, recommends filling half your plate with non-starchy vegetables. And in case you need a refresher: Probiotics are live bacteria or yeast that live in your body and naturally occur in some foods. Consuming them is a good way to maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria in the gut.* When purchasing foods rich in probiotics, Cording says to look for “minimally processed versions without added sweeteners or preservatives.”
