Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is not a diagnosis, but a term used to describe a collection of symptoms, the exact cause of which has not been determined by mainstream medical approaches.
These symptoms can include:
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Abdominal pain
- Acid reflux
- Heart burn
- Mucus in the stool
- Flatulence
Someone may experience any combination of the above symptoms and every person will experience IBS in a different way.
We are now beginning to understand that many of the above symptoms can have their origins in imbalances in our gut bacteria, parasitic and fungal organisms, food intolerances, toxins, reduced amounts of digestive fluids (acid and bile) and numerous other factors.
“Thankfully, the technology is now available to dig deeper into the underlying root causes of these symptoms.”
Dr Singh.
It’s common to hear that digestive issues have not improved with mainstream approaches. You’re not alone.
Many people suffer with debilitating symptoms that are often dismissed, leaving them without answers or relief.
However, we provide a holistic and comprehensive approach to tackle your IBS symptoms.

From Struggle to Solution: My Journey to Health and Healing
A decade ago, I found myself caught in the whirlwind of a demanding career as an NHS doctor, tirelessly serving others but neglecting my own well-being.
Despite my dedication to my patients, my own health began to deteriorate.
I experienced severe stomach pains and persistent bloating, disrupting my daily life and leaving me searching for answers.
A Frustrating Search for Answers
Despite numerous consultations with doctors and specialists, my symptoms remained a mystery. Prescribed medications offered no relief, and even extensive gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedures revealed nothing out of the ordinary.
A Turning Point: Seeking Alternative Paths to Healing
Determined to find relief, I embarked on a journey to explore alternative approaches to health and healing.
Emigrating to Australia offered a fresh start, but my health struggles persisted.
A Glimmer of Hope: Discovering Functional Medicine
Desperate for solutions, I turned to functional medicine, a holistic approach that delves into the root causes of illness.
Through advanced testing and personalised protocols, I finally found the relief I had been seeking.
A New Chapter: Empowering Others Through Wellness
Now, after seven years of being symptom-free, I’ve dedicated myself to helping others navigate their own health journeys.
With a deep understanding of nutrition and functional medicine, I’m committed to empowering others to achieve lasting wellness.
“IBS need not be a lifelong sentence for which there is no cure. It just takes time, patience and the right methodology to succeed.”
Dr Singh.
