Tummy Community

A message from Linda

In my 30 years of experience in clinical practice, I have seen an increase in the number of people who suffer with digestive and gut disorders. Invariably they’ve tried many different medications and suffered the anxiety and stress of having x-rays and other tests carried out at the hospital, to be told that there’s ‘nothing wrong’, and nothing further can be done to help them.

For those who have been worrying that they might have cancer, this kind of diagnosis is a relief, but their symptoms still remain. If the NHS can’t help them with all their research, resources, medications and treatments, then who can? Well, the natural health community certainly can. When the NHS has done all it can to help, many people turn to complementary medicine, with great, life-changing results. I know first-hand how people are struggling with the painful and debilitating physical symptoms of digestive and gut disorders, and I have seen how this can lead to poor body image, loss of confidence, embarrassment, shame, fear, social isolation, depression, and many other more complex issues. I can’t just sit back and do nothing.
I hope that our Tummies community goes some way to raising greater awareness so that people can get the support they need; whether it’s spreading the word via social media platforms and regular newsletters, or taking myself out of my clinic and the Just For Tummies office to attend events, manage stands at exhibitions and give talks at conferences, it is my number one priority to educate as many people as I can about the crucial importance of the health of their digestive system and gut so they have the knowledge and the power to make positive changes to their health and the health of their families, friends and communities.

“It’s my belief that everyone struggling with IBS, constipation, digestive health issues and many other gut-related disorders can be helped. My aim is to build a safe, supportive and caring community that enables people to access quality information and expertise that will make real positive differences to their digestive and gut health as well as their overall health and wellbeing, and that of their families, friends and communities.”

The cornerstone of our community, Tummy Talk is closed Facebook Group where you can share stories, ask questions and benefit from the insights and expertise of a wide network of highly experienced and knowledgeable therapists and practitioners from a broad range of backgrounds, the majority hailing from the field of complementary medicine.

Thanks to the advice and support that she received via Tummy Talk, one member, Sue was able to get the root of her long-standing constipation. She was kind enough to say this:

“Since joining ‘Tummy Talk’, I have turned a corner. I now poo 2-3 times per day instead of once every 3 weeks. I have one happy bottom!”

A few interesting facts:

  • You are more bacteria than human. You have 10 trillion human cells and 100 trillion bacteria.
  • The digestive tract, all 10 or so metres, running from your mouth to your anus, including stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, small and large intestine is critical to your overall health, responsible for digestion of food, absorption of nutrients and elimination of wastes.
  • 80% of your immunity is located in your gut, which explains why, when your gut and the gut microbiome are out of balance, irritations, inflammations, infections and ‘leaky’ gut can manifest and you can develop all manner of diseases within your gut and in other organs and systems of the body.
  • Research is now showing that the bacteria in your gut can pre-dispose you to developing obesity, dementia diseases, Type II diabetes, auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, eczema and depression.
