Stretta

Report

Stretta Therapy is an other minimally invasive treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the condition that causes chronic heartburn and regurgitation. If you are taking prescription anti-reflux medications such as proton pump inhibitors [PPIs] (Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, etc.) or H2-receptor antagonist drugs (Tagamet, Zantac, Pepcid), and you are not achieving good control of your symptoms, you may benefit from additional therapies that may be available to you, such as Stretta Therapy.

Treating Barrett's Esophagus

Report

Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the cells that make up your esophagus begin to look like the cells that make up your intestines. This often happens when cells are damaged by exposure to acid from the stomach. Barretts represents the most severe form of reflux (GERD). GERD occurs when the muscles at the bottom of the esophagus do not work properly.

Lactose Intolerance

Report

Diarrhea, abdominal distention, cramps, flatulence and general discomfort may be caused by lactose intolerance in some patients. In the past patients were instructed to delete milk products from their diets and see if it had an effect. 2 Lactose is present in many unsuspected foods and drugs, making the most diligent patients attempts to comply impossible.

IBS patients suffer from abdominal bloating and pain, irregular bowels habits, and often alternating diarrhea and constipation.
