Doctors say the return of a rare dietary fibre to Australian shelves could be the breakthrough millions of gut-health sufferers have been waiting for. Sterculia, a natural alternative for people who can’t tolerate traditional fibre supplements, works differently from common options like psyllium husks. Because it doesn’t ferment in the gut, Sterculia delivers regularity without the gas, bloating or uncomfortable side effects - just reliable relief.
DL COMMS client Tumme has been at the forefront of the fight to bring this ingredient back. Co-founders Dr Simone Peters and Rudi Van Der Viles spoke with 9 News’ Eliza Rugg, explaining why they campaigned so hard to restore access to Sterculia after it disappeared from Australian shelves five years ago, and what this means for patients seeking gentler, evidence-based gut support.
