Here is my recipe for Supergut zucchini lasagna!
I follow the Supergut diet and it has helped to reduce inflammation and heal my gut after years of antibiotic use and the resultant SIBO.
The Supergut diet is based on Dr. William Davis’ book, Super Gut, which advocates using healing foods to heal the gut, such as homemade probiotic-rich yogurt.

Ingredient notes for Supergut zucchini lasagna
This recipe calls for my lower histamine chicken broth.
Instead of a ricotta cheese-based filling this lasagna is made by making a cheesy pine-nut mixture using raw organic pine nuts.
What is MCAS?
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS often experience significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.
MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Healthcare providers frequently do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.
Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.
The bucket theory
The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.
Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.
Know your typical symptom progression
Knowing your symptom progression in a symptom flare is the key to developing your rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.

Here is the recipe for Supergut zucchini lasagna
Supergut Zucchini Lasagna
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pine nuts Soaked in 1 cup of cold water for three hours
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1 cup almond flour
- juice of ½ lemon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 lb. Italian chicken sausage Browned and cooled
- 2 medium fresh zucchini sliced in thin lengthwise slabs with a mandolin
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup basil pesto
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb. fresh wild mushrooms or 3 oz. dried wild mushrooms rehydrated with 1 cup of boiling water
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain soaked pine nuts and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the almond flour, lemon juice, water, and salt. Process until smooth.
- Grease a 9 x 13 inch glass baking pan with the olive oil. Roughly chop the wild mushrooms and place them in a small bowl.
- Lay one layer of zucchini slices on the bottom of the pan. Place dollops of 1/4 of the pine nut mixture onto the zucchini, 1/3 of the Italian sausage, and 1/3 of the mushrooms. Repeat the layers three more times or until you have used up the ingredients.
- Place the pesto in a pint mason jar with the chicken broth. Cap the jar tightly and shake it vigorously until combined. Pour the pesto mixture gently over the lasagna. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the top. (The lasagna can be covered and refrigerated at this point for 24 hours if desired.)
- Bake for 1 hour. Allow to sit a few minutes before serving. Freeze portions for later consumption or consume immediately.
Leftovers
Leftovers will stay fresh in the fridge for several days, but if you have MCAS you will want to freeze it in portions. You can thaw and heat frozen portions directly from the freezer. Simply remove the lid, cover with a piece of wax paper or a silicone cover, and microwave for a few minutes until hot.
