Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Irritable bowel syndrome affects the large intestine, causing symptoms such as cramps, bloating, and changes in bowel movements.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD is a digestive disorder where stomach acid frequently irritates the lining of the esophagus, leading to symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): This disease category includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which result in chronic inflammation in the digestive system.
Celiac Disease: An autoimmune condition caused by ingesting gluten, which triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine’s lining.
Liver Disease: Including hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver disease, which affect the liver’s ability to function properly.
Gallstones: Solid particles that form in the gallbladder and can block bile ducts, leading to pain and digestive issues.
Chronic Constipation and Diarrhea: These common but disruptive symptoms can be related to various conditions, including IBS or infections.
Acid Reflux and Heartburn: Chronic acid reflux can lead to more serious conditions like esophagitis and Barrett’s esophagus if not properly managed.
To witness the results of a treatment, it’s necessary to follow an effective treatment plan with a thorough and accurate diagnosis. At Windermere Medical Group, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint the underlying causes of your symptoms. Our diagnostic approach includes:
Endoscopy: A procedure that allows us to examine the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine, helping to identify ulcers, inflammation, or tumors.
Colonoscopy: A screening tool used to examine the entire colon and rectum, essential for detecting conditions like colon cancer, polyps, and other abnormalities.
Lab Tests: Blood tests, stool samples, and other lab work to check for infections, inflammation, and signs of specific gastrointestinal diseases.
Imaging: Techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI to visualize the digestive tract and detect structural abnormalities, blockages, or tumors.
Our goal is to understand the symptoms you’re experiencing and the root cause, ensuring that we recommend the most effective treatments available.
At Windermere Medical Group, we treat every patient as a unique individual. We follow a holistic approach to gastrointestinal care, developing personalized treatment plans. To treat the early signs of gastrointestinal disease we offer effective treatment plans:
Medications: Depending on your diagnosis, we may prescribe medications to reduce inflammation, treat infections, regulate acid levels, or manage pain. We work closely with you to find the best medication regimen to help you feel better.
Dietary Modifications: Nutrition plays a key role in managing many gastrointestinal disorders. Our team will provide guidance on dietary changes to address specific conditions like IBS, GERD, or celiac disease. We help you identify food triggers and develop a balanced eating plan.
Lifestyle Changes: We emphasize the importance of stress management, regular physical activity, and getting enough sleep to improve your digestive health. A healthy lifestyle can be just as important as medications in managing your condition.
Surgical Options: For more complex cases or those requiring advanced intervention, our gastroenterologists collaborate with surgical specialists to determine the best course of action. Procedures like laparoscopic surgery, gallbladder removal, or bowel resection may be necessary for certain conditions.
