"Provided with good advice"

About: Vale of Leven General Hospital / Gastroenterology (stomach and gut problems)

(as a service user),

Was having gasto problems, tummy wasn't emptying and was in a lot of pain and discomfort  had a phone consultation with Dr Graham, he advised I stop taking co-codamol for my pain which I did straight away, I used paracetamol instead and ibuprofen sometimes together for more intense pain as I also have problems with my pancreas.

Honestly I am so much better off co-codamol my tummy is not swollen, no episodes of not emptying, im in way more less pain than I have ever been and feeling great.
