A fibre sachet can help things along, but if your digestion feels chronically sluggish, you may want to support the whole system rather than just bulk things out.
If you want to get sluggish digestion moving more naturally, here are the gentle alternatives people reach for instead of Fybogel.
Why digestion turns sluggish
Sluggish digestion means the whole system is moving slowly, not just short on fibre.
- A slow-moving gut, digestion dragging its feet from top to bottom.
- An out-of-balance microbiome, fewer friendly bacteria to keep things ticking.
- Low fibre, fluid and movement, the everyday habits that keep things flowing.
The short version: sluggish digestion is a whole system running slow, and gentle support helps it move.
