And the results of the test became the inspiration for her project.
She wrote: “After years of suffering with IBS – I had a test which showed that my gut health was in the worst third of population.
“So I’ve been on a mission to learn about it and sort it out.”
“Now I’m launching a ‘smart wellness’ business with @dr_julia_jones who helped me,” she continued.
Steph included some pictures of herself at the Neuron Tiki bar, tagging the brand.
The bar is in Folkestone, Kent, where Dr Julia is based.
But Steph’s ambition is to roll it out across the UK.
She continued: “Today we opened a live bacteria bar – where you can come and learn all about your gut health and the simple things you can do to help it.
“It’s all the stuff I’m doing that I know has worked… So I have put my money where my mouth is.”
Fans rushed to praise Steph
One wrote: “So glad you’re doing this. When I was diagnosed years ago you were told to eat more fibre. The worst thing I could do.”
