Welcome to Oshi Patient Stories, an interview series where we hear from the real people who have found lasting relief from digestive symptoms with Oshi’s virtual gastrointestinal (GI) care. In today’s interview with Viktoria, she shares how managing her condition negatively impacted her life, and working with Oshi has helped to get her back to doing the things she loves.
Viktoria shares her experience with Oshi Health.
What tips or strategies have you learned while working with Oshi that are helping you live a better life today?
I learned about taking food enzymes and how they can help me digest my food. I learned about what FODMAP foods are and how they can trigger my condition, which I didn’t know anything about, even from the prior doctor. And I’ve learned, how to manage my condition better. And it’s given me hope.
Before, I just felt hopeless and I just felt like I was gonna feel like this forever. And, you know, I could never go to a pool party again or I could, you know, never live the life that I loved before. I live in Las Vegas and I love water activities. I was at pool parties and paddle boarding, and my stomach condition affected every single aspect of my life down to dating.
I feel that Oshi has helped me get back to that place where I’m actually doing the activities that I love again. And I can’t wait until these problems are completely resolved or almost resolved to the point where I don’t notice it anymore. I’m seeing change and I’m gonna continue seeing my doctor here as well.
I really enjoy the convenience of the virtual visits and the ability of booking things on the app. It’s a really great UI.
