Celery soup is one of the best foods for digestive health — alkalising, anti-inflammatory, and easy on the gut. Marijke Vogel has recommended it to clients at Phenomenal Colonics for years, particularly as an aftercare meal following a colonic session or during a period of dietary reset.
Celery is one of the most alkalising vegetables available. Furthermore, it carries anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-asthmatic and anti-gout properties that make it a genuinely therapeutic food rather than simply a diet choice. This recipe is simple, warming, and suitable for anyone looking to support their digestive health naturally.

Why Marijke Recommends Celery
Celery’s alkalising effect helps neutralise excess acid in the gut — one of the primary drivers of bloating, reflux, and digestive discomfort. Consequently, it pairs well with colonic hydrotherapy as part of a broader approach to gut reset. The NHS guidance on healthy eating supports increasing alkaline vegetables as part of a balanced diet.
