Bloated by mid-afternoon

Bloating, an unpredictable stomach, or a gut that's run your day for so long you've stopped mentioning it. Your gut does far more than digestion, and it's worth a proper look.

Free. A doctor reviews it within 24 hours. You only pay if you go ahead.

Sound familiar?

Most people have quietly adjusted around it.

  • Bloated by the afternoon, most days
  • Good days and bad days with no obvious reason
  • Cutting out foods and still not sure what's the problem
  • Energy and mood that seem to follow your gut
  • Reflux, constipation or the opposite
  • Told it's 'just IBS' and left at that

Blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, trouble swallowing or pain that wakes you at night should be checked by your GP in person first.

What a doctor looks at

It's a symptom, not a diagnosis. These are some of the patterns behind it.

1

The gut lining

The lining of your gut is a barrier as well as a filter. When it's irritated, digestion, comfort and energy all feel it.

2

Your gut bacteria

The mix of bacteria in your gut shapes how you digest, how you feel after meals and even how you sleep.

3

Stress and the gut

The gut and the nervous system are wired together. Run on high stress for long enough and your stomach usually tells you.

4

Food, timing and routine

What you eat matters, but so do when, how fast and how regularly. Patterns are often clearer to a doctor than to you.

The next step

A detailed assessment, read by a doctor.

Your doctor needs the real picture, not a general sense of feeling run down. The assessment covers the following.

  • What happens, how often, and for how long
  • Foods or situations that set it off
  • Anything that needs checking in person first
  • Your current health, medications and stress load

No cost to submit or have it reviewed. Completing it doesn't guarantee any particular treatment. A doctor decides what's appropriate for you.

Before you pay anything, you receive
  • A doctor-reviewed summary of your situation
  • What your doctor recommends, and why
  • Nutrition, sleep and routine guidance
  • Safety checks against your health and medications
  • A follow-up plan
  • Clear, itemised pricing

Reviewed by a second, independent doctor before anything goes ahead.
