😅😅 Trust me when I say that social media content is not what I signed up for as a registered dietitian.
👀 But here’s the thing – there is so much noise on these platforms in the gut health space from people who have no qualifications that I have now come to feel it’s my duty to find out how to use it effectively and help drown out the fads.
👋 So here I am, making cringe videos in the hope to help those in need with trusted, research backed advice ❤️.

If you’re regularly spending more than a few minutes on the toilet, it’s not just “one of those things” — it’s a sign your gut isn’t working properly.
Most people focus on when they go, but the real key is what your stool is like. Get that right, and everything becomes quicker, easier, and more predictable.
This is exactly what I help my clients do — understand their body, identify what’s off, and fix it in a way that actually lasts.

You can hit 30g of fibre a day…�and still feel constantly bloated.
This is where so many people with IBS get stuck.
Because on paper, you’re doing everything “right”.
Porridge with fruit, nuts, seeds…�trying to be healthy�trying to fix your gut
But then by midday?�
You feel pregnant with how bloated you are�Your clothes feel tight�
And you’re wondering what you’ve done wrong
Here’s the missing piece 👇
Your gut doesn’t care about your daily fibre total�It responds to what you give it in that moment
So when one meal is overloaded with fibre…�your gut has to work overtime to break it down
👉 hello bloating�👉 excess gas�👉 that heavy, uncomfortable feeling
The goal isn’t more fibre
�It’s better distribution
Smaller amounts
�Spread across the day�So your gut can actually keep up
This is one of the simplest shifts that can make a big difference — without cutting loads of foods out
If you’re tired of guessing what’s causing your symptoms…comment GUIDE and I’ll send you my IBS guide 👇

✨ A gentle reality check: “finding the root cause” of your IBS isn’t actually that helpful.
💭 I completely understand why people want this.
Was it stress? Food poisoning? Antibiotics?
🔍 But even when we can link IBS back to something — the treatment doesn’t really change.
📊 IBS is managed based on your current symptoms, not a past event.
🦠 So whether it started after:
• a stomach bug
• a stressful period
• a course of antibiotics
👉 You still need to:
– identify your individual triggers
– support your gut-brain axis
– build a way of eating that works for your day-to-day life
🚫 This is where many people get stuck.
They’re searching for a single “cause” to fix, instead of focusing on what will actually improve their symptoms now.
🔄 A more helpful question is:
“What is my body reacting to at the moment — and what can I do about it?”
🤍 That’s what leads to real, sustainable progress.

📰 “Fibremaxxing” is the latest wellness trend… but here’s my take 👇
🌿 Yes — fibre is important.
🌿 Yes — most of us aren’t eating enough.
🚩 But “maxxing” it out? That’s where the problem starts.
💭 Going from 0 → 100 with fibre can actually make IBS symptoms worse (hello bloating, pain, unpredictable bowels). Your gut needs gradual change — not shock therapy.
⚖️ And more importantly… when we start obsessing over hitting the maximum of anything in our diet, it can tip into disordered patterns.
✨ Health isn’t about extremes. It’s about consistency, balance, and sustainability.
🥗 Eat more fibre — absolutely. But build it up slowly, listen to your body, and don’t let another trend convince you that “more is always better.”
🤍 Your gut will thank you for it.
