Two out of 3 American adults struggle with GI symptoms every week, often suffering in silence without a clear diagnosis or path forward. The most common place to search for answers? Online.
That’s why we’re here.
We cut through the clutter to provide you with digestive health content that’s comprehensive, evidence-based, inclusive, and helpful. Here’s how we do it.
Clinical standards and medical reviews
Our gastroenterologists and other clinical leaders are an integral part of our content creation process. Before we even begin researching and writing articles, our medical experts approve each topic we select to ensure it’s clinically-sound, in line with our commitment to whole-person GI care, and relevant to our community’s needs. (We seek feedback from patients, too).
From there, we follow a two-step process to bring you factual, reliable medical information you can count on. Each article features insights and expertise from clinicians who specialize in the topic at hand, including GI doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered dietitians, and gut-brain specialists. Additionally, each article is medically reviewed by two clinicians for accuracy and to make sure it reflects the latest scientific research and thought leadership.

Editorial team
Our writers and editors have extensive experience across healthcare, journalism, and digestive health. They come from diverse backgrounds—including several who live with chronic GI conditions—and are skilled at making complex medical information easily digestible. (See what we did there?)
Prior to producing content for Oshi, all writers and editors receive comprehensive subject matter training. And, perhaps most importantly, we only work with people who share our passion for improving patient experiences and outcomes. That’s our north star with every article we produce.
We go the extra mile to bring you the supportive, expert-backed health information you deserve.
Content values
We’re committed to bringing you content that is…
Evidence-based
To earn your trust and help you find real answers, we focus on clinically-proven GI solutions backed by the scientific community. Each article includes high-quality, reputable information from sources like peer-reviewed journals, government agencies, research institutions, and our own medical experts.
Comprehensive
We believe in treating you as a whole person, not just addressing your symptoms. That’s sorta our thing, in fact. Our content focuses on the very real relationship between your gut, your mind, and your body—and offers multidisciplinary perspectives supported by exhaustive research.
Accessible
Specialized, quality GI care should be accessible and available to all. Our articles provide approachable, easy-to-understand information to help you make informed decisions about your digestive health.
Inclusive
Each individual’s experience with GI issues is unique. We honor that through our commitment to using inclusive, person-first language, sharing a variety of stories and perspectives, user testing language to understand how it resonates with our community, and creating diverse editorial and medical review teams.
Empathetic
Everyone poops. Yet living with symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, and gas can feel isolating or even downright embarrassing. We understand what goes on behind closed (bathroom) doors. Our content furthers our commitment to eliminating unfair stigma and sensitivity about GI issues. You’re not alone.
Accurate and up-to-date
We review and update our educational articles on a regular basis to ensure they reflect the latest research, insights, trends, and treatments that impact our readers.
