Accelerated gut rhythm
Loose stools may follow infection, a medicine change or other digestive conditions. Duration and accompanying symptoms guide assessment.
FLORE Diarrhoea Programme
Recurring diarrhoea deserves a clear assessment.
Flore supports clinical review of recurring loose stools, urgency, medicines, food patterns and hydration before planning nutrition and follow-up.
What this page can help you decide
Urgency, stool frequency, food triggers, medicines, hydration and clinical history. These patterns can guide a clinical conversation, but they do not identify a diagnosis or prove that a microbiome imbalance is the cause.
Should I start with a programme or a medical assessment?
Start with medical assessment when symptoms are new, persistent, severe or accompanied by warning signs. A support programme may be useful after the clinical question and safe next step are clear.
Do I need microbiome testing?
Not routinely. Commercial microbiome testing has limited proven clinical usefulness and cannot diagnose the cause of these symptoms. Consider it only after discussing what question it would answer and whether the result would change care.

Why Flore
A programme before a product.
Flore does not begin with a bottle or a generic elimination diet. It begins with symptom rhythm, food context, stress, sleep, medical history, and microbiome testing when it can change the decision.
Clinical and gut context
Recurring diarrhoea can have many causes. History, red flags and appropriate medical assessment come before ecosystem claims.
Food-response triggers
The plan maps specific foods without turning every meal into fear.
Warning signs matter
Blood in stool, severe pain or dehydration needs prompt medical assessment rather than a nutrition programme.
How it works
From scattered symptoms to a clear protocol.
Map stool and urgency
We review timing, stool pattern, food triggers, travel, medication history, stress, and sleep.
Check what needs investigation
The clinician decides whether medical or microbiome testing can answer a useful question; neither is automatic.
Stabilise the gut routine
Hydration and nutrition are matched to the clinical assessment; medicines or supplements need an individual decision.
Build long-term tolerance
The plan evolves with symptom response and real-life eating feedback.
Programme fit
Where this usually fits inside Flore.
The exact path is confirmed after assessment. These are the common starting points.
✓Start with a clinical review of symptoms and previous care
✓Explore a four-month Flore pathway if ongoing support is appropriate
✓Agree on any testing and programme details before choosing a plan
