Digestive Health Consultation

“Having the consultation was one of the best things I could have done for myself and my situation. We talked in depth about what my problem was, how it was making me feel and what I could do to try and alleviate my symptoms. Really, what I learnt was that it wasn’t the symptoms I needed to really tackle but the underlying causes. Doctors will do various tests to rule out various physical problems but Katherine advises me that many bowel related problems were psychological and this really helped me understand the root cause. I had a lot of stress in my life at that time so this made sense. Katherine advised there were some things that I could do to alleviate the symptoms (she recommended some very good probiotics, natural senna based tablets and some websites I could look at in my own time) but my main priority she advised was to try and reduce my stress levels. In fact, I felt immediately somewhat better just understanding that this could have all been caused by stress and just having that discussion with Katherine who was able to explain the impact of the brain on the gut (and vice versa) and how this was potentially causing my problems.”
