Hi, I’m Zi, the founder of The Grumbling Gut.

I started this platform to raise awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 17. Living with a chronic illness for over 17 years has shaped my passion for advocacy, research, and improving healthcare for those with digestive conditions.

With over a decade of experience in the NHS, I’ve worked on health research programs, led service improvement initiatives, and contributed to peer-reviewed publications on IBD. I’m also a Certified Nutrition and Weight Management Advisor, specialising in IBD nutrition and holistic approaches to digestive health.
