You may decide it is time to see a gastroenterologist if you experience recurrent or unexplained abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or unexpected weight loss. Diseases of the colon such as polyps, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), colitis, and Crohn’s disease can also be addressed by a gastroenterologist. We also provide support for patients with liver disease including hepatitis and jaundice, pancreatitis, diverticulitis, and bacterial infections. Our goal at Vanguard Gastroenterology is to help all of our patients overcome uncomfortable or painful digestive issues and chronic diseases, so they can enjoy a healthier life filled with their favorite foods and without enduring pain or gastrointestinal discomfort.
