Gastrointestinal Diseases

We offer primary care for a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, helping patients manage symptoms and improve digestive health. GI diseases can cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life, but with proper care, many of these conditions can be effectively managed. Our Revere healthcare professionals provide comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care for conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), viral gastroenteritis, and acid reflux.

Common Gastrointestinal Conditions We Treat
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A chronic condition that affects the large intestine, causing symptoms such as cramping, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. While there is no cure, we offer lifestyle and dietary guidance, along with medications, to help manage symptoms.
Viral Gastroenteritis: Often referred to as the “stomach flu,” this condition causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines, leading to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Treatment focuses on hydration and managing symptoms while the virus runs its course.
Acid Reflux (GERD): Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, leading to heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. We provide dietary recommendations, medications, and lifestyle adjustments to manage symptoms.
Ulcers: Sores that form in the lining of the stomach or small intestine, often caused by infection with H. pylori or long-term use of NSAIDs. Treatment may include antibiotics, acid-reducing medications, and dietary changes.
Celiac Disease: An autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Managing this condition requires strict adherence to a gluten-free diet and monitoring for nutritional deficiencies.

Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Diseases
Abdominal Pain or Discomfort: Persistent or recurring pain in the abdomen is a common symptom of many GI conditions.
Diarrhea or Constipation: Changes in bowel movements, including frequent diarrhea or difficulty passing stool, may indicate a gastrointestinal issue.
Bloating and Gas: Excessive gas or bloating can be a sign of digestive disorders such as IBS or acid reflux.
Nausea and Vomiting: Feeling nauseated or vomiting frequently may suggest viral gastroenteritis or other GI conditions.
Heartburn: A burning sensation in the chest or throat, typically due to acid reflux.

Treatment and Management
Dietary Modifications: We work with patients to identify food triggers and recommend dietary adjustments to manage symptoms, such as avoiding spicy foods for acid reflux or following a gluten-free diet for celiac disease.
Medications: Depending on the condition, we may prescribe medications to reduce stomach acid, relieve cramping, or treat infections causing GI distress.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Stress management, increased physical activity, and other lifestyle changes can improve GI symptoms and promote overall digestive health.
