Did you know that chronic stress may contribute to a range of GIT symptoms, including bloating, altered bowel habits, and food intolerances?

Stress hormone alterations, including prolonged, elevated cortisol, may influence gut motility and lead to symptoms such as constipation or diarrhoea, in addition to increasing the risk of increased intestinal permeability.

Specific dysbiotic microbial patterns, such as opportunistic bacteria overgrowth and diminished diversity, are also potential outcomes of stress. These effects are thought to occur via the gut–brain axis, a bidirectional communication network between the nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.

Swipe across to read about several mind-body & gentle movement approaches have been explored for their potential to support gut function by modulating stress responses.

Is stress impacting your gut health? Please use the link in our bio to book your appointment with Naturopath Amy, or contact us in the Dispensary on 035977 0117.

Have you read Naturopath Amy's new article on 'Functional Testing for Comprehensive GIT Assessment'?

Our Acute Care Naturopaths get asked a lot about gut testing: what's on offer? what will it show? what is best for each individual? Lucky for us (and you!)

If gut testing is something you're ready to explore further, please book your initial consultation with Amy at www.peninsulaherbaldispensary.com.au or by calling us on 035977 0117.

We’re all familiar with PRObiotics, but have you heard about PREbiotics?

🟠 Prebiotics are specific, non-digestible compounds that pass through the upper digestive tract undigested, reaching the colon where they are fermented by select beneficial microbes.

🟠Prebiotics can selectively promote the growth and activity of beneficial gut microbes, leading to improved gut ecology and the production of health-promoting metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

🟠Clinically studied prebiotic compounds include: Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), 2′-Fucosyllactose (2′-FL), Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), Inulin, Lactulose, Partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG).

Have you ever experienced dyspepsia or reflux? You may want to learn about DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice), a modified herbal medicine used to support healing of the digestive lining.

DGL is made by removing glycyrrhizin (the compound in whole licorice that can raise blood pressure) making it safer for long-term use.

Studies have shown:

🌿DGL can reduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux including heartburn and regurgitation.

🌿DGL has potential as a complementary therapy in H. pylori management.

🌿Use of DGL has been shown to improve symptoms such as early satiety, post-meal fullness and upper abdominal discomfort in adults with functional dyspepsia.

If you'd like to learn more about DGL or other options for heartburn or reflux, please visit us in store or book your appointment using the link in our bio.

Did you know that an estimated 10–20% of people globally live with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Swipe to learn more about this condition from Naturopath Amy.

One thing she'd like you to remember?
"Missing an underlying cause of ‘IBS’ symptoms can significantly delay meaningful relief and lead to long term restrictive diets, social withdrawal and reduced quality of life.
If you would like to investigate your gut health further, working with an experienced, gut-focused Naturopath is a great start."
