Greg — patient-reported progress after four months

“For more than 20 years, I struggled with digestive issues that began in my teens.

Finding Melinda King at the Centre for Digestive Health changed everything.

The journey hasn’t been overnight, but after just four months the improvement has been incredible. My bloating, pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression have all reduced significantly, and I feel hopeful about living a normal life again.”

She was the first person who actually listened to me and cared. I have my life back thanks to her.”

— Penelope
