GUT Health – what is it??

Gut health refers to the balance and function of microorganisms residing in the gastrointestinal tract. These microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, collectively form the gut microbiome. A healthy gut microbiome aids in digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and maintaining immune system function. It also impacts overall well-being by influencing heart and brain health. Imbalances in the gut microbiota can lead to conditions like, gastritis, Helicobacter Pylori, SIBO, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and much more highlighting the importance of maintaining a healthy gut through diet, and lifestyle choices.

We are specialists in IBS treatment and management programmes and our methods really work.

How Do We Work??

A successful and innovative approach for managing IBS, FODMAPs are a collection of molecules found in food that some people poorly absorb.

When poorly absorbed in the small intestine, these food molecules continue along the digestive tract to the large intestine, where they serve as a food source for the bacteria that normally reside there. The bacteria then digest/ferment these FODMAPs, potentially causing Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. We address these issues, and in under six weeks, you can be symptom-free!

The low FODMAP diet is a well-tested treatment option. As science continually progresses, research into this dietary strategy continues. Unfortunately, many websites and some practitioners are unaware of recent research advances in this area and may offer inaccurate advice.

We have programs to suit you for all gut health issues including Divertucular Disease, reflux, IBS, IBD, Coeliac Disease, SIBO, gastritis and more..
