TRUE! 🌿 Your liver is an important part of your digestive system.

It produces bile, which helps your body break down and absorb fats from the foods you eat. Beyond digestion, your liver also plays a key role in processing nutrients and supporting many essential functions throughout the body.

Did you know your liver was part of your digestive system? 💭

Stress doesn’t just affect your mind — it can affect your gut too. 🌿

Your brain and digestive system are closely connected through the gut–brain axis, which means periods of stress or anxiety may contribute to changes in bowel habits, nausea, bloating and abdominal discomfort.

Looking after your digestive health can include looking after your overall wellbeing too. 🤍

True or false? 🤔

Coeliac disease and gluten intolerance are often confused, but they’re not the same thing. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten triggers an immune response that can damage the lining of the small intestine.

Knowing the difference can be an important step towards getting the right diagnosis and support. 🌿

💧 Digestive Health Q&A: How much water should I drink for good digestion?

Staying well hydrated plays an important role in digestive health. Water helps support regular bowel movements, keeps stools softer and helps your digestive system function as it should.

There’s no one-size-fits-all amount — your fluid needs can vary depending on your activity level, the weather, diet and individual health needs. A simple tip is to sip water regularly throughout the day rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.

For personalised advice, speak with your healthcare professional.

IBS and IBD might sound similar, but they’re two very different digestive conditions. 🌿

IBS affects how the gut functions and communicates with the brain, while IBD — including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis — involves chronic inflammation that can cause physical damage to the digestive tract.

Understanding the difference is important when it comes to getting the right assessment, treatment and support.

If you’re experiencing ongoing or concerning digestive symptoms, speak with your GP or healthcare professional.
