What’s in My Gut-Healing Kitchen – IBS-Friendly Pantry Essentials You Can Buy
I have created gut healing kitchen essentials for my daily eating habit ,that’s the first of my gut healing Journy .People always ask me:
“What do you eat when your stomach feels off?”
Or “How do you plan meals without triggering bloating, pain, or IBS flares?”
The truth?
It starts with how I stock my kitchen.
After years of trial, error, and bloating from “healthy” food, I’ve created a gut-healing kitchen with everyday Indian ingredients that:
Reduce bloating
Support digestion
Balance hormones
Heal gently — not harshly
Here’s a peek into my pantry — plus direct links so you can build yours too.
What's in my Gut Healing Kitchen Essentials ?
1. Rock Salt (Sendha Namak)
Regular table salt contains additives and can irritate an inflamed gut.
Rock salt is mineral-rich, cooling, and perfect for digestion.
I use it for:
Buttermilk
Laddoos
Sprinkling over steamed veg or khichdi
2. Yellow Moong Dal (Split & Washed)
The most easily digestible dal in Ayurveda.
Rich in protein, doesn’t cause gas like rajma or chana.
I use it for:
Khichdi
Moong chilla
Soup base
3. Dry Ginger Powder (Sonth)
A gut savior.
Improves Agni, reduces gas, nausea, and supports fat metabolism.
I use it for:
Teas
Roti masala
Laddoo & detox mixes
4. Fennel Seeds (Saunf)
Soothes the gut, improves nutrient absorption, reduces PMS bloating.
I use it for:
Post-meal tea
Mixing with ajwain + jeera
IBS-friendly detox water
5. Coconut Oil / Desiccated Coconut
Coconut calms Pitta, nourishes gut lining, and balances blood sugar.
I use it for:
Coconut chutney
Laddoos
Sweet potato mash
6. Ajwain (Carom Seeds)
Instant gas relief.
Improves digestion and relieves IBS cramps.
I use it for:
Roti dough
Ajwain shots before meals
Evening bloating tea

Morning smoothie
Seed cycling
PMS week curd bowl
