Common GI Problems
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux refers to the backward flow of
acid from the stomach up into the esophagus. People will
experience heartburn, also known as acid indigestion,
when excessive amounts of acid reflux into the
esophagus. Most people describe heartburn as a feeling
of burning chest pain, localized behind the breastbone
that moves up toward the neck and throat. Some even
experience the bitter or sour taste of the acid in the
back of the throat. The burning and pressure symptoms of
heartburn can last as long as 2 hours and are often
worsened by eating food. Please see a General Physician
or Gastroenterologist if you experience these symptoms.
Ulcers
An ulcer is a focal area of the stomach or duodenum that
has been destroyed by digestive juices and stomach acid.
Most ulcers are no larger than a pencil eraser, but they
can cause tremendous discomfort and pain. The most
common symptom of an ulcer is a gnawing or burning pain
in the abdomen located between the navel and the bottom
of the breastbone. The pain often occurs between meals
and sometimes awakens people from sleep. Pain may last
minutes to hours and is often relived by eating and
taking antacids. Less common symptoms of an ulcer
include nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite and
weight. Please see a General Physician or
Gastroenterologist if you experience these symptoms.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is cancer of the colon and rectum, two
parts of the digestive system also know as the large
intestine. All colon cancers arise from polyps, abnormal
growths on the wall of the colon that may become
cancerous over time. If polyps are identified at a very
early stage, they can be removed before they become
cancerous. Symptoms include frequent gas pains, blood in
or on the stool, diarrhea or constipation, a feeling
that bowl has not emptied completely. Complications of
colorectal cancer can be reduced or even prevented with
the simple step of regular screening. Please see a
General Physician or Gastroenterologist if you experience
these symptoms.
