How to access Seikret pouch in Monster Hunter Wilds

On many hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds, Alma gives you extra supply items and the game tells you to find them in your Seikret pouch. But then when you try to access these items, you can see them, but you can’t use them or move them to your item pouch.
A lot of Monster Hunter Wilds players (including me) have found themselves in this frustrating predicament, and the game itself offers no clue as to why you can’t use any of the items Alma just gave you while you’re frantically swapping between weapons and trying to find items in your pouch. There is a reason for this issue, and there are ways around it, although they aren’t particularly convenient.
