Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the gut-brain axis thought to affect between 9-23% of the global population. The symptoms include the presence of abdominal pain or discomfort alongside altered bowel habits for 6 months or more.
IBS can be characterized into subtypes, with the three most common subtypes being IBS-D (predominant stool is diarrhea), IBS-C (predominant stool is constipated), and IBS-M (a mixture of both diarrhea and constipation).
The diagnosis pathway for IBS can be difficult, as the symptoms of the condition are non-specific and can be associated with a variety of other gastrointestinal conditions. Even though the condition is not life-threatening, the symptoms can range from moderate to severe and can significantly affect the quality of life of patients and impose a burden on physicians and healthcare systems.

It is thought that up to 1 in 7 of us may have Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and up to 80% of IBS patients may also have SIBO. The symptoms of the two conditions are very similar, but it remains uncertain whether SIBO could cause IBS symptoms, or if SIBO is more likely to develop in those with IBS. One condition may worsen the other, leading to a cycle of chronic gut problems.
SIBO causes uncomfortable digestive health symptoms such as nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, and changes to your normal bowel movements. Because of this, symptoms alone cannot be used as a diagnosis, and further testing is required.
Our SIBO eBook covers what causes it, how to know if you have it, and how to treat and prevent it from reoccurring. Click the button below to fill in the form to download your copy.
Food intolerances are common, and can cause a range of uncomfortable digestive health symptoms such as nausea, bloating, abdominal pain, and changes to your normal bowel movements.
Despite how common food intolerances are, there is still much that is not known about their mechanisms, and how many different intolerances there are. For example, between 5-15% of the global population is thought to suffer from some kind of gluten intolerance. Gluten intolerance is when people suffer from uncomfortable gut symptoms after consuming the protein gluten, which is found in wheat and wheat-based foods. However, it is not clear whether these symptoms are caused by the gluten protein or other proteins found in wheat – making diagnosis and treatment tricky.
Our latest eBook explores how a food intolerance is diagnosed, and how can you manage it for improved gut health. Click the button below to fill in the form to download your copy.
Did you know that the gut and our skin are in fact connected through a relationship known as the “gut-skin axis”? This means that if you suffer from skin concerns and stomach issues, they could in fact be linked!
Evidence is beginning to show that what is going on with our digestion can impact the development of common skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis (a common form of eczema). This coincides with the availability of skin and gut supplements designed to “heal from within” to show a healthier, clearer complexion on the outside.
Our Gut-Skin Axis eBook dives into the interesting relationship between gut health and skin appearance, and gives you top tips on how to “heal from within” to show a healthier, clearer complexion on the outside. Click the button below to fill in the form to download your copy.
A go-to guide of recipes that taste amazing, whilst improving your gut health. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols, which are non-digestible carbohydrate molecules found in many foods. These small carbohydrates are easily fermented by bacteria in the gut microbiome, which can cause the production of gas, leading to bloating and cramping.
