Let’s clear up some of the biggest gut health myths 👇

Myth 1: You need a “detox” to reset your digestion.
✅ Truth: Your liver, kidneys, and gut already are your detox system. Support them with water, fibre, and rest - not juice cleanses.

Myth 2: Bloating always means something’s wrong.
✅ Truth: Mild bloating is normal! It’s often a sign of fermentation - your gut microbes breaking down food (especially fibre).

Myth 3: Cutting carbs or gluten fixes all gut issues.
✅ Truth: Unless medically diagnosed, restriction can do more harm than good. Your gut thrives on variety - especially wholegrains and prebiotic foods.

Myth 4: You need daily probiotics to be healthy.
✅ Truth: Fermented foods and fibre can naturally support a balanced microbiome. Supplements are helpful sometimes, but not for everyone.

💡 A healthy gut isn’t about extremes, it’s about balance, variety, and listening to your body.

Swipe through to see how the holidays really affect your gut, and what you can do to feel your best.

✈️ How to Look After Your Gut This Travel Season

As summer approaches and travel plans take off, it’s easy to forget that our gut health travels with us too!
Changes in routine, new foods, and disrupted sleep can all throw our digestive system off balance.

Here are 5 simple ways to keep your gut happy while you’re on the move:

Pack probiotic support: Whether it’s supplements or fermented foods, help your gut maintain its balance.
Stay hydrated: Long flights and hot weather can dehydrate you and slow digestion.
Ease into new foods: Give your gut time to adjust to local cuisine (especially street food).
Prioritise rest: Travel fatigue and lack of sleep can stress your digestive system.
Keep moving: A short walk after meals supports digestion and helps regulate your system.

Healthy gut, happy travels! 🌍

Open, honest conversations with your healthcare provider make all the difference. 💙

Here’s why communication matters:
✨ Clarity - Understand your diagnosis and treatment with confidence.
🤝 Collaboration - Your voice helps shape your care plan.
🫶 Trust – Build stronger, more supportive relationships with your providers.
📖 Understanding - Get clear, simple explanations for peace of mind.
🔄 Continuity - Stay supported and informed, every step of the way.

Good health starts with good communication, and it begins by speaking up, asking questions, and working together with your care team.

Bloating is one of the most common gut complaints and one of the most misunderstood.

It can be triggered by diet, gut bacteria imbalances, hormones, or underlying digestive disorders. Because bloating is a symptom, not a diagnosis, the real key lies in uncovering why it’s happening to you.

At the Centre for Digestive Diseases, we use advanced diagnostics, microbiome testing, and personalised treatments to find the root cause, helping you feel comfortable and in control again.

Parasitic infections like Dientamoeba fragilis and Blastocystis hominis are more common than many realise, and often overlooked.

While some people carry these parasites without symptoms, others experience:
- Persistent bloating, gas or abdominal discomfort
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Nausea, headaches or dizziness
- Unexplained fatigue or weight loss

Because their symptoms mimic IBS and other gut disorders, these infections can easily go undiagnosed.

The good news? With the right testing and targeted combination treatment, symptoms often resolve or significantly improve.

If you suspect your “IBS” might have another cause, don’t ignore the signs. Seek testing and professional guidance to get to the root of your gut issues. 🦠
