Did you know?

10-15% of adults worldwide are affected by chronic constipation.1
Approx. 6% of adults worldwide are affected by faecal incontinence.2

Listen to your gut

Feeling constipated? Experiencing uncontrollable wind? Maybe your gut is trying to tell you something. Living with gut issues is not always straightforward, and there may be times when these issues get in the way of living life the way that you want.

But how to approach this conversation with your doctor?

The Bowel Check is a simple way to reflect on your current situation and see an overview of where you are currently at. You will be asked 6 simple questions.

This is not a diagnostic tool or a substitute to guidance from a healthcare professional.

If you are experiencing weight loss, rectal blood loss, sudden changes in your stool consistency, feeling the urge to defecate without passing stool, or have a family history of colorectal cancer, you should contact a healthcare professional immediately.3
