Understanding Your Gut is a patient education podcast series created by Carrie Eckersley, the dietitian from the Newcastle North Primary Care Network, and is primarily for people experiencing common digestive symptoms such as:

  • bloating
  • abdominal discomfort
  • constipation
  • diarrhoea
  • food-related gut symptoms
  • IBS and functional bowel symptoms


The series is designed to explain gut symptoms in a simple, reassuring and evidence-based way.

Each episode is less than 8 minutes long and focuses on helping patients understand:

  • How the gut works
  • why symptoms happen
  • How food, stress, routine and gut sensitivity interact
  • When symptoms are common and manageable
  • and when medical review is important

Topics include:

  • IBS explained simply
  • Bloating and gas
  • Constipation and diarrhoea
  • Food, FODMAPs and digestion
  • Eating patterns and meal timing
  • The gut–brain connection
  • Gluten, coeliac disease and food intolerances
