Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

CELIAC DISEASE

Celiac Disease

Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. It affects nutrient absorption causing various systemic effects beyond digestive discomfort alone.

  • Main symptoms: abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation; some patients have iron deficiency anemia or neurological complaints without obvious GI issues.
  • The cause: an abnormal immune response to gluten proteins found in wheat, barley and rye triggers villous atrophy in the small intestine mucosa preventing nutrient absorption effectively.
  • A thorough clinical evaluation alongside blood serology tests (e.g., anti-tTG antibodies) followed by intestinal biopsy confirms diagnosis accurately.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Ulcerative Colitis

This is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers in the innermost lining of the colon and rectum. It primarily affects adults but can present at any age.

  • The symptoms include frequent diarrhea mixed with blood or pus, abdominal pain, urgency to defecate and fatigue due to anemia caused by bleeding.
  • The underlying cause involves immune system dysfunction triggering inflammation; genetic predisposition also plays a role.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by a group of symptoms affecting the large intestine. It often causes discomfort without causing serious disease or damage to the bowel.

  • The main symptoms are abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bowel habits.
  • The exact causes remain unclear but may relate to gut-brain interaction issues, infection history, or heightened intestinal sensitivity.
  • A diagnosis largely depends on symptom patterns and ruling out other conditions through tests like blood work or colonoscopy if necessary.
  • Treatment focuses on dietary adjustments such as low FODMAP diets, stress management techniques, fiber supplements for constipation-predominant IBS and medications targeting specific symptoms.
  • Lifestyle modification including regular exercise and adequate hydration helps manage flare-ups effectively over time.

This condition requires a personalized approach but with proper care can be well controlled to maintain everyday functioning comfortably.

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, commonly known as GERD, is a digestive disorder where stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach. This acid reflux can irritate the lining of your esophagus.

  • Symptoms include persistent heartburn, regurgitation of food or sour liquid, difficulty swallowing, and chest pain.
  • Causes involve a weakened lower esophageal sphincter, obesity, certain foods, and lifestyle factors like smoking.
  • Diagnosis is typically made based on symptoms but may involve endoscopy or pH monitoring if needed.
  • Treatment options include lifestyle changes such as diet modification, weight loss, avoiding trigger foods, medications to reduce stomach acid, and in severe cases, surgery.
  • Management involves long-term adherence to lifestyle adjustments and medication to control symptoms and prevent complications like esophagitis.

Early recognition and consistent management can greatly improve quality of life for those affected by this common condition.
