October is all about raising awareness of diverticular disease, a condition that primarily affects the large intestine and can cause uncomfortable flare-ups. Around 1 in 3 people are destined to develop diverticular disease in their lifetime, but the good news is that one of the most effective ways to manage symptoms – and even help prevent complications – is by supporting your gut with fibre.
Why fibre matters for your gut
Fibre is essential for digestive health, especially when it comes to preventing constipation, which can place extra strain on the bowel and increase the risk of diverticular disease and the debilitating flare-ups called diverticulitis. Here’s how fibre helps:
- Keeps the bowel moving regularly – helping prevent the build-up that can lead to constipation.
- Softens stools – making bowel movements easier and more comfortable.
- Reduces pressure and inflammation in the gut – easing discomfort associated with constipation and diverticular disease.
- Supports healthy gut bacteria and long-term bowel health – creating a balanced environment that keeps your digestion running smoothly.
Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable – over time, it can contribute to flare-ups and long-term bowel issues, not to mention increasing the risk of bowel cancer. Getting enough fibre every day is key, but for many people, meeting daily requirements through diet alone can be tricky.
That’s where a high-quality supplement, like our Fibre tablets, can make a real difference, supporting regularity, easing strain on the bowel, and protecting your long-term gut health.
