Guts UK
Guts UK is the charity for the whole digestive system, top to tail. We actually grew out of the BSG in 1971 and proudly work closely alongside the BSG to develop evidence-based, expert patient information for patients – covering a range of digestive diseases and symptoms.
What we do at Guts UK:
- Provide expert information: Information is power! When armed with information, patients can take control of their health and make informed decisions.
- Raise public awareness: Our research shows that 58% of people are embarrassed to talk about their digestive condition or symptoms. 51% of people delay seeking advice for their symptoms for over 6 months. When the Guts UK roadshow comes to town, we empower people to seek help.
- Fund life-changing & life-saving research: Guts UK is the only UK charity funding research into the digestive system from top to tail. It’s time the UK got to grips with guts!
