Most people who write to this site want to know whether something they've read applies to their sort of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or where to go next with their GP. Some have spotted a link that's dead or a fact that's out of date. Those are the messages I most want, because the site's only as good as its last check.
I read and answer these myself. You won't get a sales sequence back.
Your name, your email and your question. That's all I need.
I'll use what you send here to answer your question and nothing else. Sending a message doesn't add you to my email list. The privacy and cookies page says what happens to your details.

Messages usually get an answer the same working day, and always within two. If two days go by and you've heard nothing from me, it's gone astray, so chase me.
GP, gastroenterology colleague, dietitian, nutritionist or physiotherapist: there's a short evidence brief on the talking therapies for IBS, and I'm happy to work alongside the care you already give. Email me and I'll send it over, or say so in the message above.
That's fine. Gut Feelings is one short email a week on the science of IBS, in plain English, and it comes with Twelve Minutes of Calm, a free general relaxation recording. The sign-up box is at the bottom of every page on this site.
