Working on New Year goals? Set small goals with shorter dates and small rewards to make your long-term goals attainable! Here are some goals to work towards that promote good gut - and overall - health.

1. Eat A Well Balanced Diet
- eat at home using whole food ingredients
- cut down the portion of flour, sugar, bread, pastries, pasta, etc. from your diet
- add more fiber like beans and nuts
- add more fermented foods rich in probiotics like kimchi, yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut
- drink plenty of water to stay hydrated

2. Reduce Stress Levels
Your mind and your gut are more closely related than you might realize. As much as possible, eliminate or mitigate stressful relationships, behavior, and activity. Introduce new methods for coping with stress like deep breathing, meditation, and exercise.

3. Exercise Regularly
Find time to exercise in any way you can. Not everyone can make it to a gym. Try an online workout, or taking walks during your lunch break. The key is to get your body moving.

4. See Your Doctor
Schedule an appointment with your doctor for a physical and to talk about any health related issue you may have been experiencing. Do not dismiss digestive problems like heart burn or fecal incontinence as something that is “normal”.

Schedule a colonoscopy. Talk with your doctor about familial history and risk factors to determine when you should schedule your first screening.

All is calm. All is bright.

The physicians and teammates of #PalmettoDigestive wish you a peaceful and healthy holiday! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅🏻🎄

Dr. Robbins was very understanding of my condition and was genuinely concerned about my health. She spent a considerable amount of time with me discussing possible options that might help improve the issues the Crohn’s was causing.

It’s Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness week!

• Both Crohn’s and Colitis are main forms of inflammatory bowel diseases, and are characterized by chronic inflammation of the digestive tract.

• Crohn’s disease causes inflammation in the digestive tract, which leads to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, unexplainable weight loss, and malnutrition.

• Ulcerative Colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the rectum and colon, and has symptoms like severe tiredness, anemia, bleeding from the rectum, sores on the skin, joint pain, and loss of appetite.

• IBD can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or ethnicity, and it can have a negative impact on mental health as well as physical.

• Around 1.6 million Americans suffer from inflammatory bowel disease; around 907,000 with colitis, and 780,000 with Crohn’s.

• There are several options available to treat Crohn’s and Colitis including medication, change in diet and surgery may be recommended.

Palmetto Digestive provides compassionate care for those suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases. Schedule a consultation with one of our experienced gastroenterologists.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! We are grateful for YOU! 🦃❤️

A beautiful morning for a walk at Charlestowne Landing near our West Ashley office.

Mild exercise is so important for good GI heath. It relieves stress symptoms that impair GI health, lowers the risk of colon cancer, strengthens your digestive tract, reduces constipation, and stimulates positive bacteria. Plus: it increases feelings of well being!

Where do you walk?

It's World Statistics Day and we want to mark the occasion with some digestive health facts. Spread the word and remember: your digestive health is a central part of your well being! Talk to a doctor about your symptoms, and be sure to get your Colon Screening.

🤪 but they DO tell friends to schedule that screening colonoscopy!
