Our gut, more than just the stomach, encompasses the entire digestive tract and plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being. In recent years, gelatine has emerged as a key ingredient for those seeking to support and heal their gut.
By understanding the profound connection between gut health and our quality of life, we can harness the remarkable benefits of gelatine and incorporate it into our diets.
In this blog, we will explore the transformative impact of gelatine on gut health, its nutritional value, and the delightful journey of creating homemade gelatine gummies as a delicious and gut-nourishing treat.

The Gut: A Complex System
The gut, often overlooked, encompasses the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. When we consume foods that are not properly broken down and absorbed, inflammation and discomfort can arise, leading to various gut problems.
Gelatine comes to the rescue by enhancing gastric acid secretion and restoring a healthy mucous lining. It acts as a sealant for the colon, ensuring that the nutrients we consume are effectively absorbed.
In today’s fast food-laden society, where symptoms like heartburn, ulcers, and acid reflux are prevalent, gelatine becomes a valuable ally for maintaining gut health and harmony.
The Gut-Healing Power of Gelatine
What makes gelatine so potent in promoting gut health?
Gelatine, a pure protein source, shares a similar nutritional profile to collagen, the most abundant protein produced by our bodies. Packed with 18 essential amino acids, gelatine serves as a repair aid for tissues, muscles, and the delicate gut lining.
Its benefits extend beyond gut repair; gelatine also reduces inflammation, bolsters our immune system, and enhances skin health. Interestingly, gelatine is not commonly found in Western diets, making it an essential addition for individuals seeking optimal gut support.
Delightful Homemade Gelatine Gummies
One of the most enjoyable ways to incorporate gelatine into our diets is by making homemade gummies.
Check out this Healthy Gummies recipe by the lovely Magdalena Kapica DiFazio. These irresistible treats not only captivate the taste buds of adults and children alike but also provide a host of gut-healing benefits.
This recipe is super quick to make; there is no room for disaster! You are good to go as long as you keep a ratio of liquid to gelatine powder. The more gelatine in the mixture, the more firm or solid your gummies will become. Experiment with different amounts of gelatine to find what texture and level of firmness you prefer. Enjoy!
Delightful Homemade Gelatine Gummies
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Liquid of your choice (fruit purée, juice, herbal tea etc)
- 15 - 20 Grams Natural gelatine
- Sweetener of your choice if needed
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bloom the gelatine by mixing it with the cold liquid of your choice. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Heat the liquid with bloomed gelatine on a low stovetop until it is translucent and no gelatine granules are visible. Never boil or heat on high.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish or little moulds (I used cup-shaped chocolate moulds and ice cube moulds). Then place the moulds in the fridge to solidify for about 2 hours.
- Remove the gummies from the moulds. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
