Bellycious
Bellycious started with Chiara, who had already built an Italian meal kit company when an IBS diagnosis changed how she had to eat. She did not want to give up Italian food, so she went back to the recipes and rebuilt them: pasta made from brown rice, corn and quinoa, sauces made without garlic or onion, and no lactose anywhere. Everything is certified gluten free by GFCO and certified low FODMAP by Monash University, and it is still a one-pan dinner that takes under fifteen minutes.
Our Take
We love finding gluten-free pasta that behaves like pasta, and Bellycious is a brown rice and quinoa blend that holds its shape instead of going to mush. The sauces are the real draw, though: proper Italian jarred sauce quality, built without garlic or onion, which is a genuinely hard thing to pull off. If weeknight dinner has become a negotiation at your house, this is a fifteen minute one-pan answer we'd happily recommend.

Bellycious
Yes. Our products carry GFCO Gluten-Free Certification. Our pasta is made with brown rice, corn and quinoa, and every kit is gluten free and lactose free.
Our recipes are certified Low FODMAP by Monash University, who developed the diet and run the certification program. The Low FODMAP approach limits certain carbohydrates that some people find harder to digest. Certification means our recipes have been tested and verified against Monash's thresholds, not just formulated with the diet in mind.
Garlic and onion are both high FODMAP, so we build every sauce without them. That is the hardest part of making Italian food this way, and it is the part we spent the most time on. The flavor comes from tomatoes, basil, olive oil, olives, capers and good Italian technique instead.
Each pack includes our gluten-free pasta, made with brown rice, corn and quinoa, and a premium Italian sauce. You add your own protein or vegetable, for example ground beef with the Bolognese or eggplant if you would rather keep it vegetarian. Everything cooks in one pan in under fifteen minutes.
All of our meal kits are gluten free, lactose free and garlic free, and they carry the Clean Label Project PURE Award, which means no unnecessary additives. They are also Non-GMO Project Verified. Full ingredient lists are on every product page.
