Feeling stuck? 🙃 Constipation is multifactorial, but the basics matter. I’ve put together a simple, no-fluff blog to help you aim for 1–3 comfortable motions a day. Hydration, fibre (the right kind), morning movement, toilet posture, and more.

A new study looked at identical twins where one has multiple sclerosis (MS) and the other doesn’t. Researchers compared their gut microbes and then put tiny samples from the small intestine (the ileum) into specially bred germ-free mice. Mice that received microbes from the twin with MS developed MS-like illness more often than mice that got microbes from the healthy twin. Some of the suspect microbes were from the Lachnospiraceae family (e.g., Eisenbergiella tayi, Lachnoclostridium).

Important caveats:

This was done in mice, not humans. Mouse models help us generate ideas, not prove cause and effect in people.

The mice were genetically primed to develop MS-like disease, so results may not translate directly to everyday human biology.

Finding different bacteria or triggering disease in a model doesn’t mean those microbes cause MS in humans. It shows a possible link to investigate further.

Bottom line: Fascinating science that supports the gut–brain connection, but not a reason to jump to treatments or blame one “bad bug.” If you’re living with MS or gut symptoms, chat with a qualified health practitioner for individual guidance while we watch this space for human studies.

Oats are an easy, inexpensive way to support your gut microbiome. They’re rich in beta-glucans and prebiotic fibres that feed short-chain fatty acid producers—especially propionate and butyrate.
Why care about butyrate? It supports immune function, calms inflammation, and helps keep your gut lining healthy. The more we can naturally support this powerhouse, the better.

Coeliac note (important in Australia): some people with coeliac disease react to avenin in oats and many oats are contaminated with gluten. If you’re coeliac, please use practitioner guidance; consider certified uncontaminated oats if tolerated, or swap for buckwheat or quinoa flakes.

New research involving nearly 400,000 people has found a clear connection between the gut microbiome and insomnia risk. Scientists identified 14 types of gut bacteria linked to a higher chance of insomnia, and another 8 types that appeared protective. Interestingly, the relationship runs both ways—poor sleep was also associated with shifts in gut bacteria, creating a cycle where insomnia and gut imbalance reinforce each other.

This is exciting news because it highlights that sleep troubles may not just be “in your head.” Instead, your microbiome could be playing a role in whether you drift off easily or lie awake at night. And it means there’s more than one way to break the cycle.

The takeaway? If you’re struggling with sleep, supporting your gut health may help restore more restful nights—and focusing on consistent, gut-friendly habits could be the key to lasting change.

New Research Spotlight

“Immune signalling mediates stromal changes to support epithelial reprogramming in celiac duodenum” (Richards, Dylan et al., Cell Reports, 2023)

This study dives into what’s really happening in the small intestine of people with celiac disease. Researchers found that when gluten triggers the immune system, it doesn’t just cause inflammation—it actually reprograms the surrounding tissue environment (the stroma).

Why does this matter?

It explains how the gut lining (epithelium) is reshaped during celiac disease.

It highlights that celiac isn’t just about “immune cells vs gluten” — it’s a whole tissue transformation.

These insights could open doors for future therapies that go beyond gluten avoidance, targeting the immune-stromal cross-talk to help restore gut health.

For those living gluten-free, this reinforces how powerful the gut-immune connection is — and how important ongoing research is for better treatments.

Trying to heal your gut or lose weight but feel stuck? You might be missing the hidden saboteur → stress.

Chronic stress raises cortisol, fuels inflammation, and even kills off your good gut bugs—making your body fight against your goals.

The good news? Addressing stress isn’t about perfection, it’s about balance. Small daily shifts can reset your gut, support weight loss, and bring your body back onside.

Read the full blog to learn why stress management is a non-negotiable part of every gut health and weight loss journey.
