World Toilet Day may sound like a laugh, but here’s the serious bit:

What you leave behind in the toilet can be the first sign of something serious.

Blood? Mucus? Change in habits? Speak to your GP.

Don’t sit on it – sort it 💛

It’s World Mental Health Day 💛

Did you know your gut is sometimes called your “second brain” - it’s connected to your mood through the gut–brain axis.

A healthy gut = more “feel good” chemicals like serotonin ✨

The FIT test can pick up hidden blood in your poo long before symptoms appear, which is why it’s so important to do it as soon as it arrives.

Keep yourself fit, send back your kit. 💛
