Digestive System Assessment

Personal Health Design (PhD) Questionnaire

Our PhD is a questionnaire that will help you assess your digestive status. It is not meant as a replacement for a physician’s care. This questionnaire will help you discover where your digestive system may be having problems. It is a screening tool only and does not constitute a diagnosis of your problem. However, it can point you in the right direction in determining where the highest priorities lie in your healing process.

Instructions:
Select the number which best describes the intensity of your symptoms. If you do not know the answer to a question, select “0”. Once you click SUBMIT you will see recommendations based on your score.

0 = Symptom is not present/rarely present
1 = Mild/sometimes
2 = Moderate/often
3 = Severe/almost always
