Medical note
This app is designed to support general gut health and wellbeing, but it is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
As you increase your plant diversity and fibre intake, it is normal to experience some mild changes such as bloating, gas, or temporary discomfort. If this happens, consider slowing down or reducing your current intake until your body adjusts.
However, if you experience more significant or unusual symptoms - such as persistent discomfort, pain, or notable changes in your stool - stop the program and seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Everyone's body is different. If you have existing health conditions, digestive disorders, or concerns about your diet, please consult your doctor or a registered health professional before making changes.
