Conditions we Treat:
GERD is a chronic condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus from the stomach, irritating the lining and causing discomfort. Symptoms can include heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, etc.
Constipation is the inability to have regular bowel movements and affects people of all ages.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the large intestine, causing sores and inflammation along the lining. Symptoms can include diarrhea, weight loss, rectal pain, blood in bowel movements, etc.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that primarily affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Tissue along the GI tract swells and can be in either patches or continuous. While symptoms of Crohn’s disease can vary from person to person, some common symptoms include abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, etc.
Having difficulty swallowing is called dysphagia. People afflicted with dysphagia often also experience symptoms such as discomfort while swallowing, coughing, regurgitation, etc.
Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, upper small intestine, or esophagus. Symptoms such as a burning pain in the abdomen, bloating, nausea and vomiting are not uncommon.
