The holiday season is almost here, bringing indulgent treats, long lunches, and family celebrations—but it can also challenge your gut and energy.

Our Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD), Maryanne Ridani, has put together a full guide of dos and don’ts for festive feasting, so you can enjoy the season while keeping your digestion and energy on track.

Plus, she’s shared a delicious, gut-friendly recipe to try at home:

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 & 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚

Ingredients
600ml milk
100ml cream
3 titanium gelatin sheets
20g fresh basil leaves
100g honey (or raw sugar)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
250g strawberries + 1 teaspoon raw sugar.
Lemon zest (optional, but does make the strawberries sing)

Method
1. Heat milk, cream, honey, vanilla and basil leaves over a gentle heat. Bring only to a simmer, turn off and leave to steep for 45 minutes.
2. Dissolve gelatin sheets in cold water. Reheat milk mixture briefly, then stir in gelatin. Strain into 4 ramekins or glasses and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or until set.
3. Heat the strawberries with the sugar. Strain if required, then serve atop the unmoulded panna cotta. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and lemon zest.

A festive treat that supports digestion, stabilises blood sugar, and keeps you energised.

Dr Serena Singh brings a strong clinical focus to two key areas of gastrointestinal health that matter for long-term wellbeing:
• Chronic liver disease
• Colorectal screening and prevention

Her work emphasises early detection, proactive management and guiding patients through evidence-based care plans that support lasting digestive health.

Dr Singh consults from our Bowral and Ulladulla locations, providing accessible specialist support for communities across the Southern Highlands and South Coast.

A reminder for patients: Routine screening and early assessment remain the strongest tools we have in preventing disease progression. If you’re due for a check or have concerns, speak with your GP about a referral.

Bowel cancer is rising in younger Australians — people born in 1990 are up to three times more likely to develop it than those born in the 1950s.

Early detection saves lives. Australians aged 45–49 can now access a free National Bowel Cancer Screening kit.

See your GP promptly if you notice:
• Changes in bowel habits
• Blood in stool
• Abdominal pain, bloating or unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue or anaemia

With a GP referral, our gastroenterologists can assess, perform colonoscopy if needed, and guide follow-up care.

Protect your gut health — early action makes all the difference.

09/12/2025

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat problems in the bile ducts, pancreas, liver and gallbladder — all essential to your overall digestive health.

Using a thin flexible tube (a duodenoscope), our endoscopists gently guides the scope through the mouth into the stomach and into the first part of the small intestine. From here, a small amount of contrast dye is introduced so detailed X-ray images can be taken of the bile and pancreatic ducts.

Why you may need an ERCP:
ERCP is commonly recommended after abnormal blood tests, ultrasound or CT scans to help identify the cause of ongoing symptoms. It can assist in diagnosing or treating:
• Bile duct stones
• Common bile duct infections (cholangitis)
• Blockages causing obstructive jaundice
• Complications following gallbladder surgery (such as bile leaks)
• Suspected or known pancreatic disease
• Occasionally, pancreatic stones

For many patients, ERCP plays a crucial role in planning further treatment — including whether surgery is required and which approach is most suitable.

If you’ve been experiencing persistent symptoms or have been referred for further investigation, our team is here to help.

Over the weekend, we came together for our Christmas celebration at Rockpool — a chance to pause, share a meal, and reflect on an incredible year of growth. Not everyone could make it, but the spirit of the whole team was absolutely there.

From our doctors, dietitians and nurses to our administrative and support staff, every person plays a vital role in the care we deliver every day. This year has only been possible because of the people behind the scenes and at the front line — the ones who show up, support each other, and keep our patients at the heart of everything.

Here’s to the year we’ve had, the team we’re so proud of, and everything we’re ready to build together in 2026.
