Did you know that brain fog, tiredness, skin flare-ups, and even joint pain can sometimes be traced back to your gut?

At the Centre for Digestive Diseases, we know that digestive health often plays a bigger role than people realise. Many symptoms that seem unrelated may actually have their roots in the gut.

Getting to the cause, not just treating the surface, is key to improving long-term health and wellbeing.
Have you noticed any changes in your health that could be linked to your digestive system?

Preparing to be an FMT donor? 🧬

Your diet plays a key role in supporting a healthy gut microbiome

âś… Foods to Include: whole grains, fresh vegetables, beans & pulses, fruit, and plenty of water. Plus, supplements like apple pectin, inulin, and N-acetylglucosamine can help.

❌ Foods to Avoid: shellfish, raw fish, processed meats, and antibiotics.
Start these changes 3 - 4 days before donation to ensure your gut is ready.

Every step counts in making FMT safe and effective! đź’š

đź’› How to support someone with a digestive condition

Digestive conditions aren’t always visible, but they can impact daily life in big ways. Having people around who understand and adapt makes everything easier.

Here are some simple but powerful ways to show support:

âś… Be flexible if plans need to shift suddenly
âś… Listen without judgment when symptoms come up
✅ Offer practical kindness - whether it’s adjusting meals, or allowing flexibility at work or home

Compassion and small gestures go a long way in making someone feel seen and supported.

Feeling exhausted all the time? It could be more than just a busy schedule…

Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) happens when your body doesn’t have enough iron to make healthy red blood cells, leaving you tired, dizzy, or short of breath.

Iron infusions are a fast, effective way to restore your iron levels, especially if oral supplements aren’t enough. ⚡

Colonic polyps are small growths in your large intestine. Most aren’t dangerous, but some can turn cancerous over time, so spotting them early is key. 🩸

You might not even notice one, but look out for:

Blood on toilet paper or in your stool
Constipation or diarrhoea lasting more than a week

If you’re over 50, have a family history of polyps or colon cancer, or have certain lifestyle risk factors, regular check-ups are especially important.
Polyps are usually removed safely during a colonoscopy, and follow-ups help reduce any risk of them coming back.

Your gut health matters , if anything feels off, don’t wait to get it checked! 💛

Poster Title: A Retrospective Review of Antibiotic Infusion for Symptomatic Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis Infections

Our study examines antibiotic infusion therapy for patients with symptomatic Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis infections, treated at the Centre for Digestive Diseases.

Across more than 150 cases, we observed a 95% treatment success rate, underscoring the potential of this therapy in managing persistent intestinal parasite infections.

We look forward to sharing these findings and connecting with peers at ACG 2025.
