Kenneth L. Koch, MD is Professor of Medicine, Section on Gastroenterology & Hepatology, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. He has a career-long interest in understanding pathophysiological mechanisms of nausea and gastroparesis. Dr. Koch has studied extensively gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA) using serosal electrodes in animals and cutaneous electrodes in the study of normal 3 cpm GMA in humans. These studies have led to understanding gastric dysthymias are present in various nausea syndromes. In addition, a functional obstructive gastroparesis subtype was described that reflects pyloric dysfunction and response to endoscopic therapies with botulinum toxin A injection or balloon dilation. Dr. Koch is a PI in the NIH-sponsored Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium. Dr. Koch has written 143 peer-reviewed publications, 43 chapters, and 2 books.
 

Laura A. Dotson is a native of North Carolina and a practicing interior designer. She graduated from Salem College, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and The Prince of Wales’s Institute of Architecture, with graduate work done at North Carolina University of Agriculture and Technical University. 
Because of her own medical journey, she has become an advocate for those who suffer from nausea and vomiting for any reason. 
Laura had her gallbladder removed. Immediately thereafter, she remained nauseated and would vomit 30-40 times per day.  Laura was misdiagnosed for a tormenting 18 months.  No one ought to live like that.
Her collaboration with Dr. Kenneth L. Koch as co-author of Comforting Your Uncomfortable Stomach: A companion for the Silent Sufferers of Nausea and Vomiting is a result of her finding the exact doctor she needed. Laura was referred to Dr. Koch in 2004 and diagnosed with severe gastroparesis. She is now healed and determined to share her experience to propagate education, heighten public awareness, and fundraise for research about the life-altering, silent, and lonely illnesses from which millions suffer that include the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Silent No More is her goal!

Michael’s life was changed once he was diagnosed with an anal fissure, fistula, and small bowel intestinal overgrowth (SIBO). His faith became strengthened, and his understanding of GI problems and their impact became eye-opening. Michael now has compassion for all those suffering from digestive diseases and disorders and has a deeper appreciation of health and life itself.
