One of my favourite fibre providers is a product called Lepicol. It certainly gets my 5 star rating. A really soothing fibre for IBS sufferers but also a healthy addition to any diet, Lepicol is a gentle mixture of psyllium husk fibre and beneficial gut flora that helps to ease bloating, relieve constipation and clean out accumulated waste. I'd also highly recommend it to patients who are trying to lose weight. If you've not heard about it, I urge you to go to Facts About Fibre and read more.

It's more than two years since I started to build this website and, from the looks of the hit counter, it has become far more successful than I ever expected. And numbers are climbing all the time so if you are contributing to that, then big thanks. It was only when I retired from full time clinic work that I found time to set up the site but it has been great fun to do and a real learning curve. If you're wondering why there are no contact details, well that's simply because I was getting over a hundred messages a week, all asking for free advice and whilst I am delighted to try and help, the quantity of work involved was so overwhelming, I had to pull the plug and say no to any more enquiries. In any event, I would only rarely take on a new patient without a doctor's referral because of the importance of having a full medical history. The site is not-for-profit - it was never my intention to make any money from it - and whilst I've always supported patients who couldn't afford treatment, sadly I simply don't have the resources to cope with a constantly overloaded Inbox or to reply to so many Posts. But that's given me the time to add a lot more to the website. So far, I've included a selection of health articles (new ones being prepared all the time) along with recommendations for any products I've tried and found to be helpful and which I hope you will find helpful too. Thanks so much for visiting.
