Bowel Cancer Screening Bowel cancer screening involves a test for bowel cancer in people who do not have any obvious symptoms of the disease. The test, called a Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), can detect small amounts of blood in bowel movements. These are the blood that may have originated from the leak of cancer growths on the inside wall of the bowel. The test involves collecting a small faecal sample and is designed to look for blood in the bowel movement, not for the cancer itself.
The screening test is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of mortality from bowel cancer. This is because the test can detect blood from polyps that have not turned into cancer, or detect early stage bowel cancer. Early detection is important, as almost 90% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully if treated early. Ask your Advantage Pharmacist now about how you can do the simple screening test at home using the Bowelscreen Australia Kit.

Gut Health Everything that you put in your mouth and swallow, from food to medicines to liquids, is processed within your digestive system. Healthy digestion is therefore essential for your overall health and well-being. Your digestive system, particularly your gut, contains hundreds of different types of bacteria. Your good gut bacteria can either flourish or dwindle depending on several factors including diet and stress.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a very common gastrointestinal disorder resulting in abdominal pain, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhoea. The cause of IBS is unknown; however, it is believed that people with IBS may have an oversensitive digestive track. There is no cure for irritable bowel syndrome and managing IBS involves managing your symptoms and minimising triggers or aggravating factors.
Medications that help treat diarrhoea, known as antidiarrhoeals, may be essential as part of the management for people with diarrhoea - predominant IBS. Certain medications work by relaxing the muscles in your bowel, known as antispasmodics, to relieve cramping associated with IBS. Regular fibre supplements can often help treat constipation and sometimes diarrhoea symptoms. Other classes of laxatives may help to relieve constipation symptoms, however it is best to ask your health professional if these are suitable for you.

Indigestion and Heartburn Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is the term used to describe pain or discomfort that may arise from overeating, eating spicy or fatty foods, some medicines and stomach ulcers. Heartburn, also commonly known as reflux, is a common feature of indigestion. It occurs when acid content from your stomach escapes back up into your oesophagus (the food pipe or tube that carries food from your throat to your stomach).
The symptoms of indigestion and heartburn are hard to ignore. It often feels like pain, cramps or discomfort in your abdominal region, burping, nausea, loss of appetite and a bloating or full stomach feeling. Acid reducing medications are available Over-The-Counter, and they can help to suppress the acid production in your stomach. For any gas and bloating associated with your symptoms, you can also take a medication that help relieve the pressure from the natural build up of wind in the body. Ask your Advantage Pharmacist about how they can help with your symptoms today
