Medical disclaimer

Inner Garden is education, not medicine. Here's the line, clearly drawn.

Not medical advice

Everything on this site — the quiz, your plan, the recipes and the blog — is general educational information about diet and daily habits. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment, or a substitute for care from a doctor or registered dietitian.

The quiz is not a test

Your score reflects self-reported lifestyle patterns only. It does not measure your microbiome, and it cannot rule anything in or out.

Talk to a professional first if

You are pregnant, managing IBD, coeliac disease, diabetes or kidney disease, recovering from surgery, taking immunosuppressants, or following a therapeutic diet. Fibre and fermented foods can need adjusting in those situations.

Seek care promptly for

  • Blood in your stool or black, tarry stools
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Persistent vomiting or trouble swallowing
  • Severe or waking-you-up abdominal pain
  • A lasting change in bowel habits, especially after 45
  • Fever, night sweats or anaemia alongside gut symptoms

In an emergency, contact your local emergency services rather than reading a website.
