Digestive problems often result in symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, gas, stomach pain, and stomach cramps. Learning more about the digestive system may help with managing these problems.
Gastroenterologists treat all sorts of conditions, including: acid reflux (heartburn), swallowing disorders (food sticking as it goes down), bowel related complaints and abdominal pain. Most patients are referred from their primary care doctors after simple interventions have not solved a patient’s problem.
Colorectal Cancer is the second cause of cancer death in the US today- and this year will kill as many people as breast cancer and AIDS combined. The American Cancer Society recommends people start screening colonoscopies at 50yrs to remove any polyps (abnormalities or growths found in the colon).
