The holiday season is here, and your digestive system deserves a little love, too! Don't let rich meals leave you feeling sluggish or uncomfortable.

We have some simple tips to keep your gut happy all season long:

✅ Don't Skip Meals: Eat light meals before a big event to prevent overindulging.
✅ Eat Slowly & Mindfully: Digestion starts in the mouth! Savor each bite to help your body process food better.
✅ Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water (aim for half your body weight in ounces per day) to keep things moving smoothly.
✅ Take a Short Walk: A brief post-meal stroll can aid digestion and prevent discomfort.
✅ Prioritize Fiber: Balance carb-heavy dishes with plenty of fiber-rich veggies and whole grains.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season! If you're experiencing ongoing digestive issues, our team is here to help you feel your best.
Book an appointment today on our website or call us at 336-768-6211.

⚠️ Don't Ignore Your Gut: Know the Early Signs of Gastric Cancer

These symptoms can also be linked to less serious conditions, but only a healthcare provider can make a definitive diagnosis.

If you or a loved one are experiencing these symptoms, and they persist for more than a few weeks, please call us to schedule an appointment.

As Gastroenterology group dedicated to preventing and detecting colorectal cancer, we believe screening should never be one-size-fits-all. Tailoring screening based on a patient’s age, risk factors, family history, and prior results isn’t just ideal — it’s essential.

Mass-mailing screening kits without Physician input risks undermining personalized care. Patients deserve informed conversations with providers who know their history and can guide them to the most appropriate option — whether that’s a stool-based test, colonoscopy, or something else.

Our goal is to keep patients and Physicians at the center of care — that’s how we save lives.

Have questions about what is most appropriate for you? We are here to help determine that. Call us to schedule today!



Consumers have testing options beyond the once-a-decade colonoscopy. But some doctors question Cologuard's testing program.
