Evidence-based articles about IBS, food triggers, and how to eat with more confidence.
Bloating after eating is not always about one trigger food. Learn common causes, red flags, and how to track patterns.
Elimination diets can identify food triggers, but poor reintroduction can create confusion, restriction, and food fear.
Food allergy and food intolerance are different. Learn symptoms, timing, testing, red flags, and how to track reactions.
Learn how to use GutFix in your first week: set a baseline, choose foods to test, check in, and build confidence.
Learn how gut inflammation, the microbiome, and food triggers may influence joint pain and inflammatory arthritis symptoms.
The gut microbiome influences digestion, immunity, metabolism, inflammation, and food tolerance. Learn the basics.
Explore how the microbiome, inflammation, and food reactions may influence eczema, psoriasis, acne, and other skin flares.
Histamine intolerance may cause flushing, headaches, hives, gut symptoms, and fatigue. Learn how to spot patterns safely.
Meal timing and portion size can affect bloating, reflux, urgency, fatigue, and IBS symptoms even when foods are tolerated.
Stress can change motility, pain sensitivity, reflux, bloating, and urgency. Learn how to track the gut-brain pattern.
Most IBS food diaries fail because they lack structure. Learn what to track, how to isolate variables, and how to spot real patterns.
Learn how GutFix uses a structured Test-Check-Adapt loop to help you find your personal IBS food triggers, one meal at a time.
Common IBS trigger food lists are misleading because triggers are highly individual. Learn why personalised testing beats guesswork.
Learn how the low-FODMAP diet works for IBS, why many people get stuck, and how targeted testing can offer a faster path to relief.
Reflux and IBS often overlap. Learn why heartburn, bloating, urgency, and food triggers can appear together.
Alcohol can affect motility, reflux, sleep, inflammation, microbiome balance, and food tolerance. Learn how to track it.
Anti-inflammatory eating can support gut, joint, and skin health, but personal triggers and adequate nutrition still matter.
Antibiotics can disrupt the microbiome and temporarily change digestion, tolerance, bowel habits, and IBS symptoms.
FODMAPs are not the only possible food triggers. Learn about lectins, oxalates, salicylates, and cautious testing.
Caffeine can affect motility, reflux, anxiety, sleep, and urgency. Learn when coffee helps, hurts, or needs testing.
Cooking method can change digestibility, texture, fat load, fibre tolerance, and gut symptoms. Learn practical swaps.
Eating out with IBS or food sensitivities is easier with safe defaults, menu planning, portion awareness, and trigger tracking.
Exercise can help IBS, but intensity, timing, hydration, and meal choices can trigger gut symptoms. Learn how to balance it.
Post-meal fatigue can come from meal size, blood sugar, sleep, gut symptoms, intolerance patterns, or inflammation.
Fibre can improve constipation and microbiome health, but the wrong type or dose can worsen bloating, pain, and diarrhoea.
Food additives, emulsifiers, preservatives, and sweeteners may affect gut symptoms for some people. Learn how to test them.
Food-triggered headaches can involve timing, dose, histamine, alcohol, caffeine, gut symptoms, stress, and migraine biology.
Functional dyspepsia causes upper gut discomfort, fullness, nausea, and early satiety. Learn how it differs from IBS.
Anxiety and gut symptoms can reinforce each other through the gut-brain axis, stress hormones, motility, and food fear.
Learn what research suggests about gut health, immune tolerance, permeability, the microbiome, and autoimmune symptoms.
The gut-brain axis links digestion, mood, pain, motility, stress, and the microbiome through two-way signalling.
Brain fog can overlap with gut symptoms. Learn how digestion, stress, sleep, inflammation, and food reactions may affect focus.
Gut reactions can shift across the menstrual cycle as hormones affect motility, pain sensitivity, appetite, and stress response.
Learn how IBS is diagnosed, what Rome criteria mean, which tests may be used, and when symptoms need investigation.
IBS subtypes affect bowel habits, trigger patterns, fibre tolerance, medication choices, and what to track.
IBS and IBD sound similar but are different conditions. Learn symptoms, red flags, tests, and why diagnosis matters.
Intermittent fasting may help some IBS patterns and worsen others. Learn how fasting affects motility, reflux, stress, and meals.
Intestinal permeability describes gut barrier function. Learn tight junctions, immune signalling, evidence, and uncertainty.
Leaky gut is often oversold. Learn what intestinal permeability means, what evidence supports, and what remains uncertain.
Mediterranean-style eating may support gut health through fibre, plant variety, polyphenols, fats, and microbiome diversity.
Period-related gut symptoms can include bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, cravings, and changing food tolerance.
Post-infectious IBS can begin after gastroenteritis or food poisoning. Learn symptoms, risk factors, and recovery steps.
Probiotics may help some IBS symptoms, but strain, dose, duration, and individual response matter more than brand hype.

Travel can disrupt gut health through routine changes, stress, unfamiliar food, sleep, and infections. Learn practical planning.
Food triggers can change with dose, stress, sleep, hormones, illness, and gut sensitivity. Learn why reactions feel random.
Visceral hypersensitivity means gut nerves are more sensitive. Learn why normal gas or stretching can feel painful in IBS.
