Welcome to this very special Gut Health Month edition of Infuse ! One in five Australians are affected by gut health problems like constipation , IBS and bloating , which can significantly impact quality of life . Food and nutrition are central to managing these gut health problems , so as the only qualified nutrition experts in the gut health space , dietitians play a key role in helping consumers feel better by changing what they eat .
