In conjunction with World Digestive Health Day in May, Dr Wong Ann Mei, Consultant, Post-Acute & Continuing Care at SKCH, commented on common gastrointestinal conditions and gut health awareness. She shared that symptoms such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea and constipation are often linked to stress and lifestyle habits.

While mild cases can be managed with rest, hydration and diet changes, persistent symptoms or warning signs require medical attention. Dr Wong emphasised holistic assessment, early intervention and stress management, encouraging healthier routines, regular exercise and timely review to support better digestive health and overall wellbeing.
