Support your Gut Health with Manuka honey
Abdominal pain, diarrhoea, heartburn, constipation and flatulence affects 43% of the UK population but hardly anyone talks openly about the symptoms. At Manuka Doctor, we believe that supporting your gut health should be simple, natural, and effective. That’s where Manuka honey comes in.
H.Pylori
Research has found Manuka honey’s natural antibacterial action may have a role in fighting H.pylori, the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers. It also works well against one of the main bugs that causes serious food poisoning. Clostridium difficile – usually shortened to c. difficle – causes diarrhoea and other unpleasant and sometimes severe symptoms. Manuka honey inhibits the growth of bacteria helping to prevent and relieve symptoms.
inflammatory bowel disease
Manuka honey can be effective in reducing inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Research suggests its anti-inflammatory properties could potentially benefit individuals, particularly those with ulcerative colitis, by reducing inflammation and improving antioxidant activity. Manuka has also proved effective in reducing acid reflux symptoms.
PREBIOTIC PROPERTIES
Manuka honey is known to be an effective prebiotic, boosting levels of friendly bacteria lactobacillus in the intestine leading to a healthy microbiome, shown to support the immune system and improve digestive health, easing diarrhoea and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. It is also known to protect against stomach ulcers.
