And thinking a little bit about streamlining, although we could spend an hour just on this one topic alone, what is your simplified treatment algorithm for functional dyspepsia? How do you start treating a patient? Is it with a specific diet and then use an H2 block or a PPI or a prokinetic? Could you just simply lead us through your personalized pathway for an FD patient?
