“I was basically told to put up with it.”

That’s what Michelle heard after years of bloating, cramping, unpredictable bowel movements, and being afraid to go out in case she needed the toilet.

All the tests came back “normal.”
Crohn’s ruled out.
Coeliac ruled out.
IBS given as the final answer.

No explanation.
No plan.
No idea where to turn next.

After we spoke, we took a different approach.
We looked deeper using functional testing to understand what was actually driving her symptoms, rather than managing them on the surface.

That clarity allowed us to build a structured plan and gradually reintroduce foods with confidence.

Today, Michelle hasn’t had an IBS flare-up since working together.
No daily bloating.
No cramping.
And she now has a clear toolbox she can lean on if her gut ever feels sensitive again.

If you’ve been told “everything looks fine” but your body clearly doesn’t feel fine, you’re not imagining it.

If you want to talk things through and see what might be missing in your case, you can send me a message saying GUT and we’ll take it from there.

Low stomach acid is one of the most overlooked pieces in gut health.

Many people assume reflux automatically means excess acid, but clinically the opposite is often true.

When stomach acid is low, food lingers, ferments, and bacteria survive further down the gut.

Supporting stomach acid can look like:
• bitters before meals
• a small amount of apple cider vinegar
• cautious use of HCl where appropriate

This is not about forcing acid or pushing through symptoms. It’s about restoring proper digestive signalling and barrier function.

If SIBO, bloating, or heavy fullness after meals keeps showing up, the stomach should be one of the first places to look.

One of the biggest myths in gut health is that SIBO is caused by food.

Food can worsen symptoms, absolutely. But it doesn’t explain why bacteria ended up in the small intestine in the first place.

Clinically, SIBO usually comes down to:
• impaired motility
• impaired digestion
• structural issues
• medication effects

Each requires a different approach. This is why copying protocols from the internet so often backfires.

If you’ve tried everything and nothing sticks, it may be because you’re treating the wrong driver.

If you’ve treated SIBO and symptoms came back, this isn’t a failure.

It’s feedback.

SIBO usually develops because one or more gut defence systems stop doing their job properly.

The most common one is impaired motility.

This is why restrictive diets, antimicrobials, and supplements can help short term but fail long term if the root cause isn’t addressed.

SIBO is not just about food. And it’s rarely just about bacteria.

If you’re stuck in the treat-relapse cycle, the next step isn’t trying harder. It’s getting clearer.

If your gut symptoms have been dragging on for months, it is rarely just one thing.

💩 A functional stool test offers clarity, direction and confidence.

It is not about finding something scary. It is about understanding your unique pattern so you can take targeted steps that finally stick.

Paneth cells sit deep in the small intestine and quietly influence how reactive your gut feels.

They release antimicrobial compounds, support the gut lining and help shape your immune tone.

When they are overwhelmed, symptoms often show up as digestive issues, such as bloating, loose stools or food reactivity.

The small intestine is often the missing link when someone has tried everything and still feels stuck.

You cannot test Paneth cells directly, but you can support the environment they rely on. Zinc, polyphenols, steady meal rhythms and a break from alcohol all help restore balance.

If your gut has felt unpredictable for a while, this deeper layer of gut physiology might be worth exploring.

Most people know fibre feeds your gut bacteria, but few realise what happens next is the real key.

When your microbes ferment fibre, they produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate.

These are the compounds that actually keep your gut lining strong, reduce inflammation, and regulate digestion.

If you’re still bloated or reactive even on a “healthy” diet, your SCFA production might be low.

The fix isn’t more restriction, it’s better microbial fuel.

👉 Swipe to see how to boost SCFAs naturally.

After 7 years of struggling, Diane finally said “enough.”

She’d been dealing with daily digestive discomfort and endless trial-and-error. Together, we ran functional tests (SIBO and stool) to uncover what was really happening beneath the surface.

From there, we built a bespoke plan with personalised nutrition, targeted supplements, and lifestyle strategies to address imbalances and support long-term resilience.

The result? Diane now feels confident in her gut and her health as a whole, no more second-guessing every meal or living around her symptoms.

If you’ve been stuck in the same cycle and want to finally get answers that make sense, it might be time to take that next step too.

Not all “toxins” are equal - and not every wellness influencer is telling the truth.

Your body already detoxifies every minute of every day.
But small, daily exposures can add up, especially for your gut and hormones.

Here’s what actually matters 👇
✅ Focus on limiting plastics, non-stick, and fragrances
✅ Support your gut–liver axis with good nutrition
✅ Make swaps gradually, not perfectly

The goal isn’t fear, it’s empowerment.
If you’ve been feeling bloated, foggy, or hormonally off despite “doing everything right”, your detox pathways might need support.
