Tried

Mediterranean Diet

I tried Mediterranean Diet for gut issues alongside perimenopause but the results were mixed. I felt a bit more like myself, but the side effects made it hard to continue. Not sure if I'll continue long-term.

Tried

Mediterranean Diet

Tried Mediterranean Diet on the recommendation of friend who'd been through similar. The first few weeks were a bit rough with side effects, but by week 12 my quality of life improved dramatically. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.

Tried

Mediterranean diet

After a gut microbiome test my nutritionist recommended a Mediterranean-style diet with higher fibre, diverse plant foods, and fermented foods daily. After 3 months my digestion has transformed — less bloating, more regular, and the IBS-type cramping I used to get has almost gone. The diversity of plants seems to be key.
