Good Health begins with a Healthy Gut

​Digestive complaints are often complex issues with multiple underlying causes, and many varied health implications beyond just that of the gut.  Research suggests that one in two people have a digestive problem that has a negative impact on their day to day life.  

The SmartGENES Gut Health Programme may be suitable for you
if you experience any of the following

• Constipation
• Diarrhoea
• Abdominal bloating
• Gut cramping or pain
• Excessive wind (up or down)
• Urgency in bowel motions
• Heartburn / Reflux
• Anxiety 
• Depression

• IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• IBD - Inflammatory Bowel Disease                   (Chrohns & Ulcerative  Colitis)
• Food allergies/intolerances
• SIBO / SIFO 
• Diverticular Disease
• Peptic Ulcer
• Inflammatory conditions
• Brain fog

The fundamental health of the gastrointestinal system depends on proper gastric and pancreatic digestion, 
a healthy intestinal epithelial layer for nutrient absorption and protection, 
and finally a balanced population of bacteria.

That is where we come in . . . ​​
