Celiac Disease

Commonly known as gluten intolerance, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that occurs when the intake of gluten leads to injury in the small intestine.

Gastritis

Gastritis is a generalized term for inflammation of the stomach, regardless of the cause, and can be categorized as acute or chronic. 

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), affects the large intestine. This common yet chronic condition often results in discomfort, but can be managed with the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Anal Fissures

An anal fissure is essentially a small tear in the lining of the anal canal. They are most often caused by a bowel movement that rips the anus lining, or other stretching of the anal canal.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) 

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection occurs when the bacteria infect the stomach, often in childhood. Linked to stomach ulcers (peptic ulcers), this infection is prevalent, affecting over half of the global population.

Blood in Stool

This occurrence may stem from various factors, ranging from minor issues such as hemorrhoids to potentially more serious conditions like gastrointestinal bleeding or inflammatory bowel diseases.

Indigestion

Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, refers to discomfort in the upper abdomen. It encompasses symptoms like abdominal pain and an early sense of fullness after eating, rather than being a specific ailment. 

Bloating 

Frequent abdominal bloating, a discomfort we all experience occasionally, can be more than just uncomfortable. It may signal an underlying condition, warranting attention.

Constipation

Gallstones

The gallbladder is a small organ located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen that stores bile, a liquid that aids in digestion.
