The digestive system absorbs the nutrients that are essential for the health of the whole body. Any disruption of digestive functioning can have a serious impact on quality of life, causing nausea, diarrhea, constipation and other abdominal issues.
Gastroenterology specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the liver and digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine and colon.
Altru’s gastroenterologists treat a variety of GI conditions. From diagnosing the cause of abdominal pain to managing ongoing symptoms, we offer nutritional, pharmacological and surgical interventions to improve digestive function.
At Altru’s Gastroenterology Clinic, located on the second floor of Altru Professional Center, we can diagnose and treat any condition involving the digestive tract, including but not limited to:
- General gastroenterological disorders such as diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, heartburn or abdominal pain.
- Chronic GI conditions such as Crohn’s disease, celiac disease or irritable bowel syndrome.
- Nutritional problems such as jaundice, malabsorption or anemia.
- Diseases of the digestive organs such as pancreatitis, liver disease, and gallbladder disease.
Altru’s gastroenterologists work with patients and any referring physicians to establish care plans to return patients to good health.
