Functional Gut

The Functional Gut Clinic is the UK’s first dedicated, independent GI Physiology service. What are functional gut disorders?

We use state of the art technology to try and understand how your gut is functioning and to identify what is causing any troublesome symptoms. Many patients suffer with gut disorders relating to feeding, sensitivity, pain and bowel evacuation. These disorders are often associated with abnormalities in how the nervous systems in the brain and the gut communicate with each other. Such abnormalities can result in patients developing:

heartburn,
swallowing difficulties (dysphagia),
chest pain,
stomach pain,
abdominal pain,
bloating,
nausea,
constipation,
diarrhoea
difficult defecation
incontinence

Patients with these symptoms may also suffer from nutritional, respiratory and psychological problems. Functional gut disorders are what we specialise in, helping with diagnosing and treating abnormalities in gut neuromuscular function and brain-gut interactions. Why are Functional Gut Disorders important? Despite Functional Gut Disorders being extremely common, diagnosing the cause of these symptoms and allocating effective treatment is difficult. Neurogastroenterology specialists and advanced diagnostics are not readily available within most hospital settings. The lack of a firm diagnosis and treatment strategy can be extremely worrying for patients and drastically reduces their quality of life. In the past 5 years, there have been many technological advances in diagnostics for studying gut neuromuscular function and brain-gut interactions. Application of these new technologies, to study patients with complex functional gut symptoms, is increasing the diagnostic yield of these investigations. This helps clinicians make informed decisions about tailored management strategies in difficult to treat patients. The Functional Gut Clinic aims to consolidate knowledge, expertise and technological advances in this area and help get your gut functioning properly again.

Most people with reflux are on medication 💊

But only 1 in 4 patients have received dietary advice or help to cut down on smoking or alcohol.

A simple place to start is the power of three:

1. Take three deep breaths before a meal to switch into a rest and digest 💨

2. Have more frequent smaller meals rather than three large ones 🥗

3. Leave a three hour gap between your last meal and going to sleep 😴

Try these yourself and let us know how you get on👇
