  • My son had constipation for 5 years and had been on multiple medications. We saw dr Mugilan at Kingsbridge and he was very thorough in his clinic consultation. Got his bloods done for coeliac test and found he had coeliac disease . Now that he is off gluten no more constipation. Very grateful for his care . If we didn't see him we would have not know about our son's coeliac disease .
