GI Specialists Near You
St. Claire HealthCare's gastroenterologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and biliary system. Most digestive diseases are very complex, with subtle symptoms, and the causes of many remain unknown. They may be inherited or develop from multiple factors such as stress, fatigue, diet, or smoking. Abusing alcohol imposes the greatest risk for digestive diseases.
Common gastrointestinal tract disorders include:
- Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
- Inflammatory bowel/colitis
- Celiac disease
- Gallbladder and biliary tract disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
