Common Questions About Gut Health

$0.00

Do I need a stool test?

Testing is not always necessary, but in complex or chronic cases it can provide valuable insight into microbial patterns, inflammation and digestive markers.

Testing is individualised and not excessive.

Is SIBO the cause of all bloating?

SIBO can contribute to bloating, but it is not the only cause. Motility issues, stress, enzyme insufficiency and dietary patterns also play roles.

Accurate assessment prevents unnecessary restriction.

Should I follow a strict low-FODMAP diet?

Low-FODMAP protocols can be helpful short-term but are not designed for long-term restriction.

The goal is strategic reduction followed by gradual reintroduction to preserve microbial diversity.

Can gut health affect anxiety?

Yes. The gut and brain are deeply interconnected through the vagus nerve, immune signalling and neurotransmitter production.

Supporting digestion often improves emotional regulation.
