Stop winter viruses and infections with a healthy and balanced immune system
For as long as I can remember, everyone in my family has taken live bacteria probiotic capsules, including my daughter-in-law when she was pregnant with my first grandchild to boost our immune system.

What are probiotics? (Video)
What do they do, and why do we need them now more than ever! Research has shown that our gut microbes play a significant role in regulating our health, mental health and weight.

Is it IBS or ovarian cancer?
I’ve put this blog post together because women need to understand that one of the symptoms of ovarian cancer is bloating.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) – what everyone should know
Recently, I’ve noticed I’m getting more and more enquiries from people who’ve been diagnosed with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and are struggling to manage their symptoms.

I don’t consider myself to be an expert […]
Sam’s story – bouncing back from rock bottom to reclaim her health
I recently received this lovely testimonial from Sam Uden, who first contacted me a couple of months ago when, to use her words, she was ‘falling apart’. “Linda and her Just For Tummies supplements have been life-changing for me.

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections among women, but that doesn’t stop it from being a nuisance, with what can sometimes be unbearable pain. And, while a UTI may start as a seemingly harmless condition you need not worry about, it can quickly turn into a nightmare when not […]
Bile Acid Malabsorption – is it causing your IBS (D)?
I’ve been getting lots of enquiries from people, particularly women, who have been diagnosed with IBD (D). Here the (D) stands for diarrhoea. However, some of these women have been misdiagnosed. Occasionally, what the person has is a condition known as Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM) or Bile Acid Diarrhoea (BAD). However, this can be treated […]
A Quick Guide to Barrett’s Oesophagus: Symptoms, Management, Treatment

Stomach Acid – why it’s so important to your health
Ever since I first went into clinical practice almost 29 years ago, I’ve been alarmed at the increasing number of people taking strong proton pump inhibitor drugs (PPIs) like omeprazole or lansoprazole for conditions that would probably respond very well to some dietary and lifestyle changes. My sense of alarm increases further when I see […]
