Ways to contact our Helpline

If you need information and support for digestive conditions or symptoms, you can reach our Helpline team in the following ways:

By telephone

The best way to reach our Helpline team is by calling our freephone number on 0300 102 4887. Lines are open Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm.

If our lines are busy or if you’re trying to reach us outside of these hours, you can still call the number above and request a call back. As part of the service, we also offer pre-booked telephone appointments for those who need one.

By online form

You can complete our short online form at any time. A member of our Helpline team will be in touch.

Please note: We always do our best to respond to your query within 10 working days, however, we’re a small team and this can take longer during busier periods. Any urgent health-related matters should always be directed to the NHS, your GP or urgent care services.
