Why Fibre Matters for Gut Health

The UK’s Fibre Deficit & Morning Bloating Problem

Most adults in the UK fall far below the NHS fibre target and eat the wrong balance of fibre types.

A steady, gentle increase in the right fibre can make everyday digestion feel more comfortable.

The Benefits of Fibre Are No Secret

Not all fibre is created equal.

  • Feeds beneficial bacteria: Fermentable fibres naturally nourish your gut microbiome for better mood, energy, and long-term health.
  • Stabilises blood sugar and energy levels: soluble fibre slows digestion and keeps you fuller for longer.
  • Promotes healthy digestive rhythm: insoluble fibre adds volume, supporting regularity.

Eating the right type of fibre can transform your gut health.

Increase Fibre Without Bloating

If you’ve tried “just eat more fibre” and felt worse, you’re not alone.
Big jumps in fibre can overwhelm your gut, especially for those with sensitive digestion or IBS tendencies.

Our Fibre Plan uses a gentle, step-by-step ramp-up with low FODMAP fibre over 4 weeks, so you can build a high fibre routine at a steady pace.

The Fibre Plan - How It Works

  • Week 1

    • Start gently with psyllium husk (one of the best-studied soluble fibres)
    • Add 1 teaspoon of fibre per day

  • Week 2

    • We add prebiotics into the week 2 blend
    • Add 2 teaspoons of the fibre blend per day

  • Week 3

    • We diversify prebiotics in the week 3 blend (more fibre types = more gut microbiome diversity)
    • Add 3 teaspoons of the fibre blend per day

  • Week 4

    • An optimised blend of 3 fibre types.
    • Add 4 teaspoons of the fibre blend per day

Breakfast For Sensitive Tummies

Made with carefully selected, gentle fibres chosen for those who prefer lighter, easy-to-digest ingredients. These blends use low-FODMAP ingredients and gluten-free oats, making them a suitable option for people who are mindful of bloating, gas or abdominal sensitivity and want to increase their fibre intake in a more gradual way.

Breakfast For Everyday Wellbeing

The Everyday Wellbeing range is made with inulin - a prebiotic fibre recognised for its role in contributing to normal digestive function as part of a balanced diet.

It’s designed for people who simply want to increase their daily fibre intake or include more prebiotic ingredients in their routine. It may not be suitable for those with IBS, sensitive digestion or frequent bloating, as fermentable fibres like inulin can sometimes lead to gas or discomfort in individuals who are sensitive.

As a Nutritionist and Naturopath I am always keeping an eye on products I can recommend to my clients that promote gut health and support a healthy lifestyle. I love this delicious tasting oat blend with the addition of apple, seeds and cinnamon that provide an excellent mix of fibre types, healthy fats and cinnamon to help balalnce blood sugar.

Highly recommend if you have digestive issues or irregular bowel movements. My mum used to struggle with really bad constipation—often only able to go once a week (or less) without supplements, which was very uncomfortable. Since starting this fibre plan, she's been able to go daily and feels so much better. It’s made a huge difference in her digestion and overall comfort. Definitely worth trying if you're in a similar situation.

FAQs & Support

  • Do you ship within the UK?

    Yes — UK only. Shipping options appear at checkout.

  • I have IBS. Which products are most suitable?

    Our low FODMAP Fibre Plan and Sensitive Tummies porridge range have been designed with IBS in mind. Our Everyday Wellbeing range is not low FODMAP and should be avoided for those with IBS. This is because we include inulin in this range - a powerful prebiotic which feeds the gut microbiome but is not well tolerated in those with IBS.

    Always check ingredients and speak with a professional if unsure.

  • How do I start fibre gently if I’m nervous?

    Begin small, go slow, and pair fibre with foods you already trust. Increase as you feel ready — our Fibre Plan helps guide your pace.
