Living With My Gut
Honest reflections on gut health, IBS, and the body-mind connection — from someone who has lived it, not just studied it.
For a long time, I thought something was wrong with me. My gut was unpredictable, exhausting, and deeply personal — not the kind of thing you bring up at dinner. But the more I talked about it, quietly and carefully, the more I realised how many people were carrying the same quiet frustration.
This section is where I share what I've learned — about IBS, gut sensitivity, the relationship between stress and the digestive system, and the small, practical ways I've found to live more comfortably. I'm not a doctor. I'm a fellow traveller. That's the spirit in which all of this is offered.
