I Couldn't wait for page 5



 

Many of you are aware that I still work as a clinical pharmacist for the NHS in a clinical setting and have recently changed surgeries. I enjoy the combination of being involved with the NHS , whilst , running my nutritional therapy business.

I was going through hospital discharge notes and tests results and came across a complete camera journey from the top of the oesophagus to the stomach then the small intestine followed by the large intestine. What amazed me was when the stomach was reached I always imagined it as a bag with the different layers of the mucosal lining. It is actually when stretched out 800cm2 of surface area and when empty resembles  a very convoluted wiggly worm crammed into that space. I checked with the GP that this was indeed a normal stomach to which he replied yes. I was pretty excited for page 5 as page 4 had given me a completely different perspective on digestion.

One of the most commonest symptoms my clients experience is bloating about 30 minutes after eating. This could be classed as IBS which a collection of symptoms such as fullness, diarrhoea, constipation or abdominal pain and  by taking a detailed history may possibly be classed as SIBO which is small intestine bacterial overgrowth. This occurs when there is an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract. Of course there are also other conditions with similar symptoms but that is just an example.

Reduced digestive speed can also contribute to symptoms. There is so much that nutritional therapy can provide regarding reducing symptoms and probing to get to that root cause.

 

Over the summer I have been redesigning my website with the help of Claire @ https://www.freakybydesign.co.uk/

 

I am now offering packages with monthly payment options over 3 or 6 months

In addition as follow ons for existing clients that requireongoing reassurance and advice a monthly subscription that provides 30 minutes video contact per month plus a portal to ask questions throughout the month.

 

I also now have a choice of three free booklets on digestive health, immune system ( very apt as the saesons change ) or diabetes ( this is based on my sell out talk)

 

Please email me if you would like me to send you a copy. Also share this information if anyone you know is suffering as I would love to help them.

Book that free exploration call on
