After 2 years of digestive pain and 3 gastro doctors and all kinds of medication I was still in pain. One visit to Dr. Shah saved me. He listened and talked to me for 45 min. He suggested I might have IBS and want to treat me for that with natural psyllium husk. After 4 months of taking psyllium husk I'm pretty much pain free. Not any of the other 3 doctors mentioned IBS. Dr. Shah took 2 years of suffering and brought peace back into my life. His compassion and understanding makes him a credit to his profession.
