Digestive complications are persistent issues you may experience that affect any part of your gastrointestinal tract, and will typically require a visit to a gastrointestinal specialist or a gastroenterologist. You might consider visiting a Las Vegas digestive disease specialist if you have noticed:

• Difficulty swallowing

• Abdominal pain

• Heartburn

• Bloody stools

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• Nausea

• Vomiting

• Weight changes

• Incontinence

Experiencing one or more of these symptoms is typically a sign that you may be suffering from a digestive disease. A specialist will evaluate your symptoms, inquire about your diet, and possibly recommend further tests such as colonoscopies, blood tests, and other diagnostic methods to reach a diagnosis.

The digestive disease specialist will perform tests based on your symptoms to determine if you have one of the following gastrointestinal diseases:

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• Gastritis and gastric ulcers

• Celiac’s disease

• Lactose intolerance

• Hemorrhoids

• Gallbladder infection

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• Hepatitis B and C, and other autoimmune diseases related to the liver

• Esophagitis or stricture

Once the specialist reaches a diagnosis based on your test results and medical history, they will determine the best course of treatment which may include dietary changes, medications, and surgery.
