Digestive Health

Digestive complaints are among the most common reasons people come in, and also the most self-treated with the wrong thing. Heartburn, bloating and constipation each have their own fix.

What to know before you choose
  • Antacids neutralise acid for an hour or two; acid blockers prevent it for a day. Frequent heartburn needs the second kind.
  • Fibre supplements only work with enough water — without it they can make constipation worse.
  • Persistent change in bowel habit, or any blood, should be looked at rather than treated over the counter.
