It started with a gut feeling
How TUMME Began
In 2021, Rudi van der Vlies, an entrepreneur living with Crohnโs causing a range of gut health issues began searching for answers, which quickly turned into something bigger. Rudi realised something surprising: despite how many people struggle with gut issues every day, no brand was truly focused on helping them feel better; naturally, consistently, and with care. So he made a decision:โIf no one else is stepping up for gut health, I will.โ
That moment sparked the beginning of TUMMEยฎโa brand built on lived experience, and a genuine mission to help people feel more like themselves again.
