Let’s cut the polite small talk. This blog isn’t about adventure or fun, outdoor stuff. But it is about once of the biggest challenges in taking adventures that people like me experience.
If you’ve got a spinal cord injury, a neurogenic condition, or anything that messes with gut motility… you know exactly what I’m talking about.
The endless back-and-forth to the bathroom. The hours lost just waiting. The frustration, the discomfort, the feeling that your day revolves around your bowels.
We don’t talk about it enough because it’s awkward, messy, and not exactly a socially interesting Insta-worthy topic! But for a lot of us, it’s one of the hardest, most time-consuming, and most exhausting parts of life.
For me? I block out at least 90 minutes when I’m at home with everything set up perfectly. Out in the world, travelling, on expedition, or somewhere with a squat toilet and no privacy, it can become the biggest challenge of all. For sure, it’s sometimes harder than climbing a mountain or crossing an icecap.
I’ve been through it all: more fibre, less fibre, supplements, and at times, far too much senna. If you’ve done the “senna seesaw,” you know the deal: too little and nothing moves, too much and, well… chaos. Water irrigation systems help, but are not the entire solution.
So I started experimenting. Researching ingredients that help gut motility, mucosal health, inflammation, and the general health of my ‘insides’. I’ve come up with a formula that’s been really impactful for me: gentle, effective, and finally giving me back a better sense of trust that I will ‘go’ when I aim to ‘go’! I still have to be quite patient, but at least I can feel more confident.
Now I’m wondering: could this help others too?
That’s where you come in.
Libby (my fantastic partner in this) and I want to hear from you:
- What’s worked for you?
- What hasn’t?
- Would you be open to trying something new, natural, and carefully designed?
If this sounds like you, if you’re done with the senna rollercoaster and want your confidence back in this respect, we’d love your help.
👉 Fill out this quick survey so we can understand what’s really needed.
👉 Want to try it? We’re seeking a cost-effective manufacturer, and could send you a sample at cost price so you can see if it works for you.
This is about more than bathroom logistics. It’s about freedom, confidence, and taking back control of a part of life none of us should have to dread.
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
