Supplement that costs pennies per day leaves tummy 'less bloated' and old trousers fit
One product aiming to help users combat bloating, irregular bowel movements and fatigue is Gut Works, a daily supplement by Dr Vegan that boasts a high-strength formula. And it costs less than 50p per day.
The low cost is due to the current offer where shoppers can save 50% off their first order with the brand using a special code. Typically priced at £28.99, using the code GUT50 at the checkout reduces the price to £14.50, which equates to 48p a day.
The code is only available to new customers, and while it can't be used in conjunction with other discounts, it does take a substantial amount off the RRP. The award-winning supplement combines Psyllium Husk with six scientifically studied strains of live cultures, also known as 'probiotics', and prebiotics.
With 50 billion CFU (colony forming units) packed into a single daily capsule, the supplement provides a significant bacterial boost to the digestive system. A healthy gut and bowels is crucial for daily comfort and tackling symptoms of IBS including bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, excessive wind and gas, fatigue, reflux, poor sleep, and more.
Gut Works, in a small, daily delayed-release capsule, is designed to rebalance and replenish the gut microbiome with active bacteria, reports the Mirror.
Other supplement brands offer varying formulations and bacterial strains, some focusing more on specific symptoms, and may come with a higher price tag. For some individuals, swallowing capsules isn't appealing, hence many celebrities like Frankie Bridge and Georgia Toffolo are opting for Symprove, a gut health supplement in liquid form.
Priced at £22.99 for 500ml, it's available in a variety of flavours such as Pineapple or Strawberry and Raspberry.
Alternatively, LookFantastic offers MyProtein's Gut Gummies, now discounted by 48%, down to £16.99. These chewable tablets provide a handy way to support digestive health, boasting one billion live cultures and 40mg of vitamin C.
Regarding Dr Vegan's Gut Works, customer feedback has been largely positive, with a 4.3-star rating based on over 300 reviews. Users have reported a range of benefits, from reduced IBS symptoms and bloating to weight loss and enhanced mood.
One customer, Joanne, shared: "IBS symptoms and life changed forever. I was advised by my gastroenterologist to look at this kind of product and he said if I took it every day without fail my symptoms would improve. I saw this product and decided to give it a go.
"He was right! I could not visit friends for dinner, had trouble on holiday and my social life was controlled by my stomach... not any more. Life changing."
Conal, added: "Excellent product. My stomach feels less bloated and with a change of eating habits I have started to lose weight. I will continue to take Gut Works from now on."
And he's not the only one to have lost weight, with Sheila commenting: "I'm very impressed. My bloating has stopped/disappeared, and I've lost 4lb.
"Gut works is quite simply magic," wrote another. "I had been suffering with IBS and tummy issues for years. Gut Works has really changed my life.
"I didn't think anything could help me, but Gut Works has. Thank you Dr Vegan." However, some customers noted that the product didn't work for them. It's crucial to remember that gut health is individual, and what works wonders for one person may have limited effects on another.
One stated: "Didn't work for me. Easy tablet to swallow though and I liked that it was once a day. And, I've just received a lovely note from the company and they have refunded me."
Another added: "Used this for 30 days. I'm not sure I noticed much change in my digestion or bloating. I was disappointed."
But generally customers have been impressed. Another five star review stated: "Since taking gut works my tummy is so much better. Flatter and my trousers fit. I really haven't changed my diet, so it's all down to gut works." Customers can try the Gut Work s supplements here and use the code GUT50 for 50% off their first order with Dr Vegan.

Police investigating Hulk Hogan's death after 911 call released
The WWE star collapsed at his home in Florida. A medical investigation into the death of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has been launched by police in Florida. The star, real name Terry Bollea, died in a Florida hospital on Thursday morning after paramedics rushed to his home following a 911 call. The medical team spent more than an hour battling to save his life - and now police have confirmed no foul play is suspected but they will be reviewing what happened, calling it a "standard" procedure, according to the Mirror. During a press conference on Thursday, Major Nate Burnside of the Clearwater Police Department said: "The Clearwater Police Department is conducting a medical investigation, which is standard in these types of cases. There are no signs of foul play or suspicious activity related to this call for service at this time." He also added more details about the emergency call, saying: "Just before 10 AM, Clearwater Police Department responded to a house in the 1000 block of El Dorado Avenue for a medical related call. "It was discovered at that time that Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, was experiencing a serious medical related issue. Personnel provided medical treatment at that time and transported Mr. Bollea to Morton Plant Hospital, where he died at 11:17 AM." Shortly after the tragedy, WWE released a statement announcing the news, reading: "WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. "One of pop culture's most recognisable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan's family, friends, and fans." In the 911 call, which was obtained by TMZ shortly after news of Hogan's death, operators could be heard dispatching paramedics to the scene as they raced to attend the star. Hogan had been reported to be in ill health since having an adverse reaction to cervical surgery on his neck in June. His former manager and long-time friend Jimmy Hart had revealed the wrestling star was unable to talk and he had been moved from his bed at Morton Plant to his home for his recuperation. In February 2023, Hogan was pictured walking with a cane and a month earlier, fellow wrestler Kurt Angle, 55, said the WWE veteran had lost all feeling in his legs after surgery. Speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, Kurt said: 'He had the nerves cut from his lower body. He can't feel his lower body. So (he) uses his cane to walk around.' He added: 'I thought he was using the cane because he had pain in his back. He doesn't have any pain. He has nothing at all. He can't feel anything.' Hogan's representative denied the claim at the time, telling Entertainment Tonight: 'Everything is OK with him. Hulk is someone with a lot of humour.' Hogan had been in and out of hospital in the months before his death. In June, he underwent a four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion – a complex neck surgery. His wife, 45-year-old Sky Daily, told fans on Instagram at the time he was recovering from the 'intense surgery with a long and layered healing process'. Sky said the operation had also affected his vocal cords and required breathing and feeding tubes. Sky added: 'He's healing and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience." Rumours had spread on social media suggesting Hogan was in a coma, which Daily denied. 'No, he's definitely not in a coma!' she said, according to PennLive. She added: 'His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage.' Two days before Hulk's death, his longtime manager, 81-year-old Jimmy, wrote on X: 'Hulk is doing great, doing phenomenal!' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Woman discovered dead in bed after dementia patient 'visited room 100 times'
The 95-year-old had advanced dementia and physical limitations in the nursing home. An elderly woman was tragically discovered dead in bed with a duvet over her head after being visited over 100 times that day by another dementia patient, an inquest heard. Marcella O'Sullivan was found deceased in her bedroom at Brid Haven Nursing Home in Mallow, Co Cork, shortly after 8pm on April 13, 2022. The 95-year-old had advanced dementia and physical limitations and died from aspiration of vomit. An inquest in Mallow on June 24 heard from medical staff at the home that another patient, who also had severe dementia, was in the room when they entered at 8.03pm that night. Coroner Frank O'Connell was told that the other woman was a "roamer" who entered the room of other patients and picked up items. CCTV footage analysed by gardai indicated that she went to the room of Mrs O'Sullivan over 100 times on the day she died. The vast majority of her visits lasted a few seconds. The evidence was that the duvet was not over the head of Mrs O'Sullivan when she was last seen by staff shortly after 5pm. Mr O'Connell said that it was accepted that Marcella was physically unable to lift the duvet herself. Assistant State Pathologist, Dr Margaret Bolster, carried out a post-mortem on the deceased. She said that the case was complex in nature, reported the Mirror. Dr Bolster said it was her opinion, and those of her colleagues, that Mrs O'Sullivan died after her airways were covered by the duvet leading to an aspiration of her gastric contents. She said that there was a a history of dysphagia (difficulty of swallowing) which meant that the pensioner was on a liquid diet. Dr Bolster noted that the duvet cover was "less breathable" as it was water proofed. She said that the deceased had a bruise on her tongue. There was also a large amount of vomit. Mrs O'Sullivan had been fed by staff at around 5pm that day. She was comfortable, had her eyes open and the duvet was at her waist. She wasn't checked again by staff until 8.03pm when she was found dead. A decision was made to contact gardai arising out of the circumstances in which Mrs O'Sullivan was found dead. A file was prepared for the DPP. Det Insp John O'Connell said that the woman who was in the room when Mrs O'Suillivan was found dead was assessed by an expert geriatrician. He deemed her not capable of recalling the evening in which Mrs O'Sullivan died. This woman has also since passed away. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Det Insp O'Connell said that the DPP directed that no criminal prosecution be made in the case. He said they were left with two possible explanations. The first scenario was that Mrs O'Sullivan vomited and died with the duvet then being placed over her head by the other patient. Det Insp O'Connell said that the second scenario involved the other dementia patient putting the duvet over Mrs O'Sullivan's head and her aspirating her gastric contents, and dying. Det Insp O'Connell said that there was "no clear evidence" forensic or otherwise to suggest that the other woman intended to cause harm to Mrs O'Sullivan. He said that the other woman "had no history of aggression." The six-person jury recorded an open verdict. The foreman said that they were all of the belief that a third party put the duvet over the head of Mrs O'Sulllivan. However, they couldn't say who that person was or whether it occurred before or after she died. Coroner Frank O'Connell offered his heartfelt condolences to the family of Mrs O'Sullivan whom he said had passed "on to her reward." He thanked the O'Sullivan family for the enormous dignity they had shown during the inquest. He said that it was unfortunate that both families had been put in an "awful position" arising out of the controversy that had occurred. Barrister Christian Douglas, BL, apologised to the family of Mrs O'Sullivan on behalf of Brid Haven nursing home. "Brid Haven nursing home wishes to express our deepest and most sincere apologies...(for) the failings identified. We understand the pain and distress this has caused."

Hospital horror as boy, 6, killed in MRI machine by flying oxygen tank
Michael Colombini, of Croton-On-Hudson, died two days after the 2001 mishap at Westchester Medical Center, in Valhalla, which was caused by the oxygen tank becoming magnetised In a shocking tragedy that stunned New York and the entire US, a six-year-old lost his life when a flying oxygen cylinder struck him during a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. The metal container, hurtling at speeds of 20 to 30 feet per second, caused fatal skull injuries to Michael Colombini, from Croton-On-Hudson, after being pulled in by the MRI's massive 10-tonne electromagnet. Tragically, Michael died two days following the horrific accident at Westchester Medical Center, located north of New York City, roughly an hour's journey from where a 61 year old gentleman recently perished after being dragged into an MRI scanner whilst wearing a heavy metallic chain at Nassau Open MRI in Westbury. Officials say Keith McAllister, who lost his life on July 17, had moved towards the apparatus after his spouse, who was having a scan, cried out for assistance. Back in 2001, when Michael was fatally injured, hospital authorities confirmed the oxygen cylinder was "immediately magnetised and drawn to the centre of the machine, causing head trauma to the child.", reports the Mirror. An MRI scanner is a medical imaging apparatus that utilises powerful magnetic forces and radio frequencies to produce comprehensive images of a patient's internal body structure, enabling medics to identify and track numerous health conditions. Following sedation, Michael was positioned inside one of these devices for examination after having a non-cancerous brain growth surgically removed, but whilst inside the scanner his oxygen levels plummeted rapidly. Staff tried to rectify the situation using the suite's built-in oxygen supply, but their efforts were in vain. They then made the fatal decision to bring a portable steel oxygen tank into the room. The magnetic pull was so powerful that an anaesthesiologist had the cannister yanked from their grip and into the scanner as soon as they received it at the doorway. The cannister struck Michael, leading to his tragic death. In October 2009, Michael's parents secured a $2.9 million legal settlement with Westchester County Health Care of Valhalla, as disclosed by a New York court in 2010. Over 500 people attended the six year old's funeral, where his kindergarten teacher, Diana Heaton, described him as "an awesome kid who liked having fun," adding "we're all shocked and saddened by this." Approximately 100 hospital employees attended a prayer service for Michael. In a statement, the boy's family expressed gratitude for ''the outpouring of public sympathy," but requested privacy as they were "unable to make any public remarks regarding the loss of their beloved son Michael" because they had "just begun the grieving process." As part of the 2009 settlement, the parties agreed not to comment on the accident or litigation, although none sought to seal the legal records. Edward Stolzenberg, then-president and chief executive officer of the medical centre, stated at the time that the facility would "do anything it can to ease the family's grief. " He further stated: "The trauma was due to what can only be described as a horrific accident, and the entire medical centre is grieving."
