What are the symptoms of IBS or a digestive problem?
Struggling with IBS and digestive problems can be miserable. Digestive symptoms can vary from constipation and diarrhoea, or a mixture of both, bloating, flatulence, reflux and abdominal discomfort. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it could be a sign that something isn’t quite right in your gut.
Are you restricting your diet to try and reduce your IBS and digestive symptoms?
You might be restricting your diet and cutting out foods you think might be triggering your IBS and digestive symptoms. Doing this can starve your gut microbes which will reduce diversity in your gut, which in turn can lead to longer term problems and health conditions. Scientific research shows a diverse gut microbiome equals better health, and reduces risk of chronic disease.
Are you confused about what you should be eating to improve your IBS symptoms and digestive health?
Are there any other symptoms linked to poor digestive function?
There are many other symptoms that are connected to stomach problems and gut health which can be related to an unhealthy gut. The gut is often referred to as the second brain due to the bidirectional communication between the brain and the digestive system. Fatigue, brain fog, low mood and anxiety are all associated with an imbalance in your gut bacteria; as well as cravings, headaches, allergies, skin problems like eczema and difficulty losing weight.

Functional testing for digestive symptoms
As part of my investigation into your digestive symptoms and stomach problems, I may recommend functional testing to help uncover the root cause.
For unresolved digestive issues, I often recommend a comprehensive stool test. This stool test provides a comprehensive evaluation of your gut health, identifying the underlying causes of most gastrointestinal issues.
A comprehensive stool test provides information on inflammation, and how well you digest and absorb your food. The test can also uncover imbalances in yeast, parasites, and healthy and unhealthy bacteria in your gut. Identifying these imbalances allows me to design a personalised nutrition plan to help improve your symptoms. So you can enjoy eating again!
