St. Timothy is the patron saint of:

•against intestinal disorders

•against stomach diseases
St. Timothy has been regarded by some as the "angel of the church of Ephesus", Revelation 2:1-17. According to the ancient Roman martyrology he died Bishopof Ephesus. The Bollandists (24 Jan.) give two lives of St. Timothy, one ascribed to Polycrates (an early Bishop of Ephesus, and a contemporary of St. Irenæus) and the other by Metaphrastes, which is merely an expansion of the former. The first states that during the Neronian persecution St. John arrived at Ephesus, where he lived with St. Timothy until he was exiled to Patmos under Domitian. Timothy, who was unmarried, continued Bishop of Ephesus until, when he was over eighty years of age, he was mortally beaten by the pagans. According to early tradition Titus continued after St. Paul's death as Archbishop of Crete, and died there when he was over ninety.

Timothy is the patron saint against intestinal disorders and against stomach diseases.
