When school starts, students and parents are packing lunches. It’s a good idea to think about including whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Tummy troubles can be helped with more dietary fiber and water. Some good examples of whole grains are whole wheat tortillas, whole grain crackers, whole wheat English muffins or rolls. Choose foods with 3 grams of dietary fiber or more. Regular girl with 5 grams of prebiotic fiber per serving can also help with regularity and maintaining a healthy digestion. Regular girl is tasteless and odorless dietary supplement, in a packet. It’s so easy to mix with water at room temperature. For your student, add directly to cereal, overnight oats, milk, juice or a smoothie. Plus, Regular girl also contains active probiotics, the healthy bacteria in your gut. I especially like because it is also gluten-free and is FODMAP friendly. See regulargirl.com for more information or ideas. You can find Regular Girl at Hy-Vee HealthMarkets or ask your Hy-Vee Dietitian to help you find it on the shelf.
