Many Americans at some point in their adult lives encounter poor digestive function. Often this may be related to poor diet, lifestyle or even a brief illness. However, when digestive symptoms persist (reflux, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, intermittent or frequent bowel movements, many choose to consult with a Gastroenterologist.
On consultation with a Gastroenterologist, one or two tests are typically performed: Upper Endoscopy or Colonoscopy. Frequent diagnoses are GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease, hiatal hernia, Gastritis, Erosive Esophagitis, IBS-C, IBS-D, Crohn's, Colitis, Proctitis, Gastric Ulcer, H. Pylori.
Typical treatments for the above include PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors), H2 Antihistamine Acid Reducers, Carafate, Antibiotics in the case of H. Pylori, and Immunosuppressants or Antiinflammatory Drugs.
Unfortunately, many of the above medical treatments are only a band-aid and offer temporary, not lasting relief of chronic Gastrointestinal disease. Put bluntly, you'll be taking medicines the rest of your life that may alleviate your symptoms, but will not cure the disease. Often times individuals, despite taking the strongest PPIs on the market, still struggle with debilitating symptoms.
