What helps with digestive issues?
Digestive issues — from heartburn to bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation — have many possible causes. From harmless dietary intolerances to chronic bowel diseases, hormonal disorders, infections, and more. We help you find the cause through targeted diagnostics (lab, stool tests, ultrasound, if necessary endoscopy) and develop the right treatment.
What May Be Causing My Digestive Problems?
Diet, lack of exercise, and psychological stress can each on their own lead to a disorder of the gastrointestinal system. However, food intolerances, allergies, medications, and certain conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome can also disrupt your digestion.
What Should I Do If I Suffer From Digestive Problems?
As so many factors contribute to a well-functioning digestive system, the first step is to discuss your lifestyle, daily routine, and dietary habits. Book an appointment at one of our avi practices and we will gladly take the time for this!
In the next step, further clarification of the cause should be carried out using appropriate laboratory investigations and imaging (ultrasound). Depending on the findings, it may additionally be necessary to involve a specialist colleague in gastroenterology.
