Little Things From Dr. Dug

Let me be clear from the start - DGBIs are no less legitimate than structural GI diseases. Both are the very real physical consequences of some type of problem.

Extensive research has demonstrated that these disorders are triggered/worsened by unhelpful interactions between our thoughts/perceptions/feelings and our digestive system.

Sometimes, though, although your brain and gut may think that they have a sound game plan, the actions they take may instead contribute to problems.

Many of our health insurance plans do cover mental health treatment with clinicians who are OON; however, these companies make it hard for us to actually use those benefits.
