Final Answer : D, Explanation :  It is typical for people to consult their lay referral network before seeing a doctor, especially for less serious or chronic issues like indigestion. Advising a change in diet is also a common first step in addressing digestive issues. While it is possible that they may suggest an alternative therapy, the most common advice would be to modify diet and lifestyle habits first.
