Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when too many of the wrong kind of bacteria colonise the small intestine, where they don’t belong, leading to symptoms like bloating, gas, and diarrhoea.

A gentle yet powerful approach involves a non-invasive yoghurt protocol using specific probiotic strains like L.reuteri and gasseri. These beneficial bacteria help suppress pathogenic species, rebalance the gut, and reduce inflammation.

In many cases, this method has shown results that rival or even surpass conventional treatments!!

✅Top Tip, if you're exploring natural ways to manage SIBO, start by focusing on strains like L.reuteri that actively suppress harmful bacteria. Pairing this with a temporary low-fermentation diet can help calm symptoms and restore balance in your small intestine!

This handcrafted yoghurt is cultured with Bacillus Coagulans, a probiotic strain known for its ability to ease gastrointestinal and systemic inflammation.

It's particularly beneficial for those experiencing joint discomfort linked to autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.

Here’s how it supports you:

👉Helps regulate immune response and reduce inflammation: In autoimmune conditions like RA, the body’s immune system misfires, attacking healthy cells as if they were threats. Bacillus Coagulans helps modulate this response by influencing the release of inflammatory chemicals, potentially reducing swelling, pain, and stiffness in joints and tissues.

👉Produces natural antibiotics called bacteriocins: These beneficial compounds actively suppress harmful microorganisms in the gut that may trigger or worsen inflammation. By limiting these opportunistic invaders, the yoghurt helps maintain a healthier microbial balance, which is crucial for calming immune overactivity.

👉Supports gut integrity and systemic balance: A healthy gut acts as a barrier and regulator for immune signals. By strengthening the gut lining and promoting beneficial bacteria, this yoghurt contributes to a more stable internal environment, one that’s less prone to inflammatory flare-ups and better equipped to support joint and overall body comfort.

As this is a specialised, small-batch Yoghurt, it's made exclusively to order. You’re welcome to visit my Clinic at Quex Craft Village, or simply place your order online at gutguruofkent.uk for collection.

Iodine is a trace mineral that supports gut health by regulating thyroid function, which influences metabolism, digestive enzyme production, and overall digestive efficiency.

It also helps maintain regular bowel movements, supports microbial balance, and reduces inflammation, all of which contribute to smoother digestion and relief from constipation.

✅You can boost your iodine intake with a sprinkle of iodised salt over roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, alternatively you could consider supplementing...this is what I do!

Bloating and excess gas are often signs of an imbalanced gut microbiome, where harmful or gas-producing bacteria outnumber beneficial strains.

This imbalance can lead to poor digestion, fermentation of undigested food, and increased intestinal pressure.

Beneficial bacteria help restore harmony in the gut by improving the breakdown of food, reducing inflammation, and supporting regular bowel movements.

By cultivating a diverse and balanced microbial environment, probiotics can significantly ease bloating and reduce the discomfort associated with trapped gas.

Here’s how targeted probiotics can help relieve bloating and excess gas:

👉Rebalance gut flora: Certain strains suppress gas-producing microbes and promote a healthier microbial ecosystem.

👉Improve digestion: Beneficial bacteria aid in breaking down complex carbohydrates and fibres that often ferment and cause bloating.

👉Reduce inflammation: A balanced microbiome helps calm the gut lining, easing sensitivity and reducing the likelihood of bloating after meals.

Do you think your microbiome might be out of sync?

Consider adding a variety of fermented foods to your diet such as kimchi, kefir or yoghurt to your daily meals, try it for a week and see how you feel!

Many gut bacteria have the remarkable ability to produce bacteriocins, natural compounds with antibacterial properties that help inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens. These microbial defenders play a key role in maintaining a balanced and resilient gut ecosystem.

One standout group is the Lactobacillus genus, often found in fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, and sauerkraut. These beneficial microbes not only support digestion but also help protect against invaders by producing potent bacteriocins.

✅Top Tip, include a variety of fermented foods in your diet to boost your intake of Lactobacillus and strengthen your gut’s natural defence system!

Cinnamon is a warming spice that supports digestion and helps ease bloating due to its natural compounds, these can relax the gut and reduce gas build-up, making it a gentle aid for constipation.

It also supports gut health by lowering inflammation and helping balance bacteria in the microbiome, a key for smoother digestion and less discomfort.

👉Add cinnamon to your day by sprinkling it over roasted sweet potato, blending it into coconut milk smoothies, or infusing it into herbal teas!

The gut and brain are deeply connected through what’s known as the GUT-BRAIN AXIS, a communication network linking the digestive system with the central nervous system.

Beneficial bacteria in the gut play a key role in this relationship by influencing the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, which are essential for mood regulation, memory, and focus.

A balanced microbiome can help reduce brain fog, support emotional stability, and even protect against age-related cognitive decline.

Here’s how targeted probiotics can support brain health and cognitive function:

✅Enhance neurotransmitter production: Certain strains help increase levels of mood-boosting and cognition-supporting chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.

✅Reduce neuroinflammation: A healthy gut microbiome can lower systemic inflammation, which is linked to cognitive decline and mental fatigue.

✅Improve stress resilience: Probiotics help regulate the stress response, supporting mental clarity and emotional balance under pressure.

Do you think your microbiome might be out of sync?

Consider adding some of my Pro-10 Yoghurt to your diet, it contains at least 11 types of friendly flora...why not try it for a week and see how you feel!

You can get it from Mandy's Deli Birchington and Quex Barn, or come and see me at my Clinic at Quex Craft Village 😁

Do you constantly struggle with ‘dieting’?

There is a reason for this...they are hard!!

I can help transform you from an unhappy dieter, who is constantly unsuccessful with reducing food content and unknowingly damaging her health into a happy and contented woman who loves her food without the guilt, feels comfortable in her clothes and improves her health at the same time.

When you stop restricting your food intake, and start focusing on the quality of the food consumed rather than the quantity, great things can happen! You can eat more and lose weight...I did.

I used to restrict my food, and when I did eat, it was either low calorie this or low fat that just to keep within a certain limit. I felt continuously peckish and I still carried extra weight, I could not figure this one out. I was also forever catching colds and constantly suffered with IBS, once to the point of hospitalisation.
