• Medical Weight Loss
  Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects the lining of the digestive tract. Crohn’s disease can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and fatigue. The disease cannot be cured; however, there are medications available to slow the progression of the disease. Patients with Crohn’s disease may need to receive regular screening for colorectal cancer due to increased risk.

  Diarrhea can be caused by a virus, food, or a sign of a disorder such as inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome. Symptoms include frequent, loose, watery stools, and belly pain.

• Colon Cancer
  Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis is usually only in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Forms range from mild to severe. Having ulcerative colitis puts a patient at increased risk of developing colon cancer. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and pain. Treatment includes medications and surgery.
• Endoscopy
  Barrett’s esophagus is caused by stomach acid splashing into the esophagus over a long period of time. Patients with Barrett’s usually have symptoms similar to those produced by chronic GERD, such as heartburn and acid reflux. Some patients may also have complications such as esophageal peptic ulcers and narrowing of the esophagus. Diagnosis requires an examination called upper endoscopy or EGD where the physician examines the lining of the esophagus with a thin flexible endoscope to look for abnormalities. Currently there is no medication to reverse Barrett’s esophagus; however, treatment of the underlying GERD conditions can slow or stop further progression and prevent complications.
• Lung Cancer
  Cancer of the colon is one of the most common forms of deadly cancer in the Western world along with breast and lung cancer. However, unlike breast, lung and many other forms of cancer, colon cancer is remarkably preventable if colon polyps are discovered and removed before they can become cancer. The key to colon cancer prevention, detection, and cure is colonoscopy. Some major factors include heredity, race, obesity, diet, calcium, red meat, tobacco, and other factors such as alcohol, diabetes, history of endometrial cancer.

• Ultrasound
  Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive procedure to assess diseases of the digestive (gastrointestinal) tract and other nearby organs and tissues. During sedation, the doctor will place a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) through the mouth guard and into your mouth. The endoscope has a small video camera on the end that lets the doctor see the inside of your GI tract. The high-frequency sound waves produce detailed images of the digestive tract and surrounding organs and tissues, including the lungs, pancreas, gall bladder, liver and lymph nodes.
• X-Rays
• Chemotherapy
  Stomach cancer is cancer that occurs in the stomach. Risk factors may include smoking and a diet of highly processed or salty foods. There may be no symptoms of stomach cancer early on. Later, symptoms include feeling bloated after eating, feeling full after eating small amounts of food, nausea, heartburn, or indigestion. Treatment options include surgery, medications, radiation, and chemotherapy.

• Ulcer
  Most people don’t realize they have H. pylori infection because they never get sick from it. If you develop signs and symptoms of a peptic ulcer, your health care provider will probably test you for H. pylori infection. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach (gastric ulcer) or the first part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcer).
