Suggest Treatment For Bloating And Weight Loss
Question: Hi:
Just to say that I'm so pleased with this service. My 83-year-old mother had had a very bad health scare two weeks ago; she'd lost a lot of weight and had had bloating after eating, and they sent her for a colonoscopy and found a couple of very big polyps that were making her bleed, etc. But they caught it in time, and I wish everybody would have these tests. She does have some gallstones and hemoirhoids and needs to gain weight, fragile bones, etc, but at least she dodged the big C. And I'm grateful for a medical establishment that cares enough to run tests quickly. Thanks, Annie
