Did you know many people have leaky gut now days? Some of the causes can include poor diet / dietary allergens, candida or parasites, and antibiotic use. I can find out if you have leaky gut in a consultation.

SIBO is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. It is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. It can be an increase of bacteria that are normally found in the small intestine, or bacteria that migrate to the small intestine and overgrow. It isn't an invader from the outside. But something like gastro can set you up for SIBO.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I explain it like this to my patients sometimes......it's like the bacteria are naughty teens. The parents have gone out, for example taken out by gastro or antibiotics & then the bacteria aka the teens, invite their friends and have a party. They make a mess with the food and create gasses that cause pain, cramping and irritable bowels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SIBO has been shown to have a negative effect on the functioning of the digestive system. It interferes with digestion and absorption. It can also lead to leaky gut/ gut hyperpermeability, which is associated with many conditions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For SIBO to occur there have to be several failures in our protective mechanisms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Follow me if you want to discover more about SIBO.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There are quite a few risk factors for developing SIBO. It means that if you have any &/or multiple of the conditions or situations listed below, you may be more vulnerable to developing SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) . Usually for SIBO to develop you have to have multiple processes or functions fail. Our body is incredible and has many failsafes and fallback systems to protects us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have the symptoms of SIBO, like bloating, pain, diarrhoea, constipation or both, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, nausea or body aches and you have some of the risk factors. I strongly recommend finding a SIBO trained practitioner and getting tested.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have any questions please comment or DM me if you prefer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
RISK FACTORS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸Diseases like endometriosis, scleroderma, Diabetes, Hypothyroid, IBD⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹Mediacation including opiates, antibiotics and PPI's for reflux and heartburn⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸Any abdominal surgeries like appendix removal, cessarian, gallbladder removal, lap banding⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹Stress⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔸Low stomach acid⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹Deficient migrating motor complex ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This list is by no means exhaustive and I didn't include the vary rare conditions. Please note, just because a condition is mentioned does not mean you have SIBO. Do not stop taking any prescribed medications unless advised to by your GP⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[ self care sunday ]

What are you focussing on?

Change … why is it so hard???!!!! Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could make a decision to change and *snap* it just happens?

I hate to state the obvious, but it ain’t that easy. For things to change we have to do things differently.

It means giving up something that is convenient …

Uber eats
Netflix
Facebook
Our daily routine

It means giving up feeling …

Comfortable
Familiar
Secure
Safe

Sometimes it’s easier to stick with what we’re familiar with because we focus on what we’re giving up.

What if, instead, we focussed on what we have to gain?

Health
Piece of mind
Energy
Hope
Confidence
Joy

This week I gently invite you to focus on what you are gaining instead of what you think you are giving up.

For some, getting a regular massage can be something you gain and I am here to help with that 😊

COLOUR + VARIETY + PLANTS = MORE DIVERSE MICROBIOME = BETTER HEALTH
The best way to have improved health is to increase your plant intake and the variety of what you choose to put on your plate. All I'm missing here is some edible blue and purple! 🌈
Improving tummy/ gut health is the key to feeling more energetic, fighting those colds, preventing autoimmunity and just being WELL.
Dips are another great way to add a bigger variety of plants in, especially with kids if your like dip. You can add beans, mild spices , herbs these are all great for gut health. .
If you are finding you can only tolerate a small variety of veg and fruit or beans, cooled potato or asparagus are causing you tummy pain. .... then I recommend seeing a naturopath that has a big focuss on gut health to start investigating why. Severely restricted diets are not good for your overall health long term. But I definitely see people struggling and in severe pain while their diet has become more and more restricted and limiting. It then impacts their body and all aspects of life. .
You need to investigate and heal till you find the cause. Then you can adress that.

Naturally Kate
My life has taken many twists and turns over its course and as I look back, each one has been a pivotal point for growth and transformation. Whilst uncomfortable at the time I am thankful for each and every situation and view them as stepping stones to where I am today.
Life is exciting and unpredictable and it truly is a delicate art of holding on with both hands yet also knowing when to trust and let go.
My hope is that I am able to share my growth, knowledge, tools and experience that I have collected along my journey, to help guide you on your path, whether that be through alleviating pain and discomfort with massage or helping gently guide you to release what no longer serves you, so you can capture more inner sparkle during a personalised healing session.
