Common digestive conditions we can treat
Acid Reflux and GERD
Acid reflux is a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn and discomfort in the chest. While common and treatable through diet changes and medications, acid reflux can lead to more serious health issues and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Constipation
Constipation is when you have less than three bowel movements per week or find it hard to have a bowel movement. It's common and can be caused by a lack of fiber, not drinking enough fluids, or not being active. Other health issues or medications may also be to blame. While it varies from person to person, there are many ways to help prevent and treat constipation with medication to your ability to have normal bowel movements.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a common condition that involves the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. It often occurs when your digestive system struggles to absorb fluids or reacts to an infection, food intolerance, or stress. While uncomfortable, most cases of diarrhea are short-lived and can be managed with hydration and diet adjustments, but persistent or severe cases require medical attention.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the digestive system, causing symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms come and go over time; or can last for days, weeks, or months. While the exact cause of IBS isn't known, it's believed to involve the brain-gut connection and can be managed through diet, lifestyle changes, and customized treatment with medication.
