Get simple answers to your questions


The digestive system is complex and it is often difficult to know what digestive symptoms or problems are important or normal. 

The many questions we have about our digestive health often have simple explanations. Knowing the answers and learning more about our bodies can help us feel at ease, and avoid unnecessary doctor visits and tests.

My main goal is to give you simple, straight forward answers to issues that concern us all bringing in relevant medical information and my years of clinical experience. I also want to guide you in asking your doctor the right questions to insure you receive the best treatment.

This site contains helpful explanations, tips and links that I hope you share with family and friends.
