Frustrated with doctors and digestive issues?

I was too.

No one could pinpoint what was wrong. I tried everything — doctors, supplements, different diets — nothing worked. Every time I thought I was getting better, my symptoms would flare up again. I began to feel like I couldn’t enjoy food anymore.

So, I turned to what I had learned from Cornell’s Nutrition and Healthy Living Program about the ‘Food as Medicine’ philosophy.

When I started researching, I was shocked to learn that over 70 million Americans, and women in particular, struggled with GI-related issues.

That’s why I started 18 Chestnuts.

Soup has always been my comfort food and a heartwarming link to memories of my grandmother. So, creating a range of delicious soups that are gentle on digestion, and rich in real, healing nutrients just made sense.

May every spoonful offer you the same kind of gentle care and healing.

Having Trouble Eating

Thank you for this delicious bean soup. I’m having trouble eating right now and nothing tastes good. I was able to enjoy this soup though I love how creamy it is.

Previous Gut Issues

With my past gut issues, it's important to me for excellent ingredients, and then taste comes in as a bonus if it's decent. Your soups have the ingredients and taste that I love. Fresh and simple.
