Understanding Gastrointestinal Health
Gastrointestinal health refers to the well-being and proper functioning of the digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The gastrointestinal tract plays a crucial role in digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste.

At Bay Regional Medical Center, we understand that digestive disorders can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Our team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A chronic condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and discomfort.
- Peptic Ulcers: Open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or small intestine, often causing abdominal pain and indigestion.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): A group of conditions characterized by chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A common disorder affecting the large intestine, causing abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
