AGMD Interview Featuring Laura Dotson, Interior Designer, Gastroparesis Patient, Advocate, & Co-Author Of A Book With Dr. Kenneth Koch

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!
