Hi, my name is Sharon Lasitter (but you can call me Shay!) and I am honored to be your BellaOnline editor and advisor for Stomach Issues. As a long time sufferer of “acid stomach,” GERD (acid reflux) and IBS I know what an affect that dis-ease of the stomach can have on your life.

I have made commitments to conventional medicine for my stomach problems. I have also committed to alternative and holistic approaches. I am here to offer you what has worked best for me, and has in fact lead me to total healing of my IBS and the progress I have made on my quest to heal my GERD.

My articles include all of the latest information available on:

• Prescription and OTC drugs for GERD and their side effects.
(You will be amazed by what you didn’t know!)
• Simple and free steps you can take for relief
• Conditions and diseases of the GI tract
• How gut health determines full body health
• Q and A on understanding your stomach problems
