In this video I share the story of Helen and her daughter, both of whom had struggled for a long time with digestive issues – Helen with ongoing IBS symptoms and recurring diverticulitis, and her daughter with a persistent cough due to silent reflux. Four years ago, both Helen and her daughter started to take […]
The way we think and how we feel can hugely impact on our digestion. There is a large connection between our brain, our mood and our ability to break down food. In high stress situations, when the body is in ‘fight or flight mode’ we do not prioritise digestive processes. This can lead to less […]
I would like to share this video of me reading out a lovely, uplifting testimonial that I received from Zena, who was almost at her wits’ end when she contacted me, having struggled with IBS symptoms for over 30 years. I often receive messages from people like Zena, who have suffered with IBS and other […]

In addition to heartburn, there are several other symptoms that indicate you have acid damage, including the following: Millions of people in the UK have gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), the most common form of […]
Reflexology can be of significant benefit to you when trying to pinpoint areas in your body that are not working as they should be. It’s a particularly effective treatment when it comes to helping to increase blood flow and stimulation to the digestive system and decrease stress to that area of your body. With that […]
If you have IBS, navigating mealtimes can feel a bit like a digestive minefield. Many people with IBS end up restricting their diet, keeping the same few foods on rotation as they are simply too anxious to eat much of anything for fear of flare-ups. Not only can limiting what you put on your plate […]
IBS doesn’t have to be a life sentence, as some sufferers are often told by their GP. You can find ways to enjoy the food and drink that you love, and live your life in the way of your choosing, free from the shackles of a condition which far too many people believe they have […]
Food poisoning is one of the most common causes of an increased risk of developing IBS, and the number one cause of developing post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS). Food poisoning happens when people consume food that is contaminated with harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses or toxins. Also known as foodborne illness, it can cause a range of symptoms, […]
Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be a silent struggle. For many people, the symptoms are mild enough that they do not talk about it with friends or family. They deal with the pain and discomfort in silence. Others feel too embarrassed or ashamed to talk about their bowels, and many others have been […]
I know from the many thousands of people with IBS whom I’ve helped how desperate they start to feel in a bid to manage their symptoms, trying as many supplements as they can lay their hands on in an attempt to reduce their symptoms. They tell me how they have a cupboard filled with expensive […]
Anxiety about food and IBS are very common, and after over 30 years of working with people struggling with digestive and gut disorders, I know how interlinked the two things are. Many of those living with IBS believe that food is the cause of their symptoms. This makes sense due to the nature of the […]
I would like to share the following review from Deborah, as her struggles with her digestive health highlight the scientifically proven correlation between levels of stress and quality of life; more specifically in the context of gut health and gastrointestinal related disorders, which are suffered by 40% of us at any given time. Deborah had […]
Since April has been all about IBS awareness here at Just For Tummies, we couldn’t get to the end of the month without hosting a Facebook Live event dedicated to the subject. On this occasion, I was joined by nutritional therapist, Sophia Hill, for what turned out to be a highly informative discussion on the […]
If you’ve suffered with IBS, you will probably know what FODMAP stands for. If not, it’s a catchy acronym – fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols – more commonly known as carbohydrates! It’s not uncommon for people struggling with IBS to visit their GP anywhere from four to ten times in an attempt to get […]
I’d like to share this wonderful testimonial that I received from 27-year-old IBS sufferer, Zoe, recently: “I have completed the Charcoal cleanse, which made me feel so fresh and happy. My stools were black, and I had wind, but this really wasn’t an issue. I started on the supplements in the 30-day Balance Kit straight […]
I wanted to share Sam’s story because it is a perfect example of the type of enquiry I get – day in, day out. From people who have had symptoms for many years, made countless visits to their GP, undergone a barrage of tests, but still have no definite diagnosis or idea as to what […]
