Granite Peaks GI Staff<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 4\/09\/2020<\/p>\n Part of the frustration that can come with this sort of change to our normal daily life is sustaining our normal expectations while living and working in an abnormal way. This goes for how we work, how we eat, how we exercise, how we create, sleep and plan. The secret to avoiding some of the frustration is to adjust our expectations \u2013 for now.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re working reduced hours whether at home or at your place of work, you are likely able to adjust your schedule and some expectations. This is a great opportunity to build some new, positive habits by planning ahead to use your time wisely and productively.<\/p>\n For those with digestive health issues, be sure to stock up on the items that keep you feeling healthy and keep your digestive system running smoothly. Whether you have celiac disease<\/a>, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)<\/a>, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)<\/a>, or other digestive health issues, be sure you are taking the precautions necessary to stay well. If you are immunocompromised, do what you can to minimize your risk of contracting the virus. Plan daily exercise and dietary goals for staying well.<\/p>\n Know that your providers at Granite Peaks Gastroenterology<\/a> are available to you, even during the COVID-19 situation. We have telehealth appointments<\/a> available that let you connect with your GI provider from the safety and privacy of your home. It\u2019s easy to set up, convenient and safe!<\/p>\n For those who have symptoms that may necessitate an in-person appointment, our clinic is making it safe for you to come in to see us. We are scheduling patients to allow for social distancing, pre-screening patients, performing extra cleaning steps between patients and wearing personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n For now, we are all adjusting expectations and actions to stay well and avoid either contracting COVID-19 or spreading it to others, and it\u2019s working. Keep up the good work, Utah! We wish everyone safe and healthy days ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
