FAQ
It is widely accepted that our diet affects our gut health, however, in recent years there has been more research focusing on the relationship between physical activity and our microbiome. Some studies have shown that incorporating 30-60 minutes of physical activity at least 3 days per week can help to increase the population and diversity of the gut flora. However, it is important to maintain this level of physical activity as these changes can reverse if an individual returns to a less active lifestyle.
A team at Monash University, located in Australia, conducted diet-related research on individuals with IBS. Through their research they developed The low FODMAP diet which uses a 3-phased approach to help people identify potential food triggers for their IBS. The initial elimination phase is not intended for long term use, and patients should complete phase two involving the reintroduction of various food categories. It is important to work with a dietitian while doing the low FODMAP diet for appropriate guidance and assessment of outcomes.
This is an individualized approach as each person has a different lifestyle. The best weight loss plan is a realistic one that can fit into your day without significantly impacting your quality of life. Generally speaking, it will likely involve adjusting the amount and timing of meals/snacks in addition to incorporating or increasing physical activity levels
The cause of a food intolerance may be due to a variety of factors including a lack of specific digestive enzymes or a hypersensitivity within the digestive tract. It is helpful to work with a dietitian to identify specific foods within your diet to avoid while maintaining the most liberalized diet as possible.
Both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) fall within the inflammatory bowel disease category of gastrointestinal illnesses. The two illnesses differ based on where the inflammation occurs, the appearance of the damaged areas, and the affected location within the gastrointestinal tract. In the case of UC, the inflammation is present only in the large intestine (colon and rectum) and damaged areas appear in a continuous pattern within the affected region. In patients with CD, the damaged areas have a patchy appearance and can affect any part of the GI tract, however, most frequently appearing in the ileum (the third portion of the small intestine).

We now offer FibroScan in our office, a non-invasive and painless medical examination that assesses the degree of liver fibrosis and steatosis (fatty liver) by measuring liver stiffness. Unlike traditional methods such as liver biopsy, which can be invasive and uncomfortable, FibroScan offers a more patient-friendly alternative.
Benefits:
Non-Invasive Procedure:
- One of the most significant advantages of FibroScan is that it eliminates the need for invasive procedures like liver biopsy. Patients can now undergo a quick and painless examination without the associated discomfort and recovery time.
Accurate and Reliable Results:
- FibroScan provides accurate and reliable results, allowing our medical team to assess the health of your liver with precision. This information is crucial for the early detection of liver diseases, enabling timely intervention and personalized treatment plans.
Convenience and Efficiency:
- Having FibroScan available in our office means that you can receive prompt and convenient testing without the need for referrals or visits to external facilities. This streamlines the diagnostic process and ensures that you receive timely results, facilitating quicker decision-making regarding your health.
Monitoring Disease Progression:
- For individuals with chronic liver conditions, FibroScan offers a valuable tool for monitoring the progression of the disease. Regular scans allow us to track changes in liver health over time, enabling us to make informed adjustments to your treatment plan when necessary.
What to Expect:
When you visit our office for a FibroScan, you can expect a comfortable and straightforward experience. The procedure involves placing a small probe on the skin’s surface, which sends a painless vibration into the liver. The device then measures the speed of the sound wave passing through the liver tissue, providing immediate results.
Next Steps:
If you believe that FibroScan may be beneficial for you or if you have any questions about the procedure, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office. Our dedicated team is here to guide you through the process and ensure that you have a positive and informed experience.

What is Infusion Therapy?
A patient with a serious or chronic condition may require medication that cannot be taken orally. In these instances, infusion therapy would be used as an alternative to oral treatment. Infusion therapy enables us to inject medicine through a needle or catheter, typically intravenously (IV).
Why is Infusion Therapy Done?
Infusion therapy is typically used with patients who require medications which are not available in other forms. In other instances, infusion therapy is used to ensure controlled dosing allowing for the drugs to reach the bloodstream at the appropriate time.
Which Gastrointestinal Issues is Infusion Therapy Used For?
Infusion therapy has become a convenient and effective way for people to receive the treatment they need without the hassle and expense of a hospital stay. People diagnosed with chronic abdominal health conditions use Infusion therapy to treat their gastrointestinal condition and lessen symptoms. This includes Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and others. In addition, people with digestive issues may require infusion therapy to achieve proper absorption of nutrients.
How Does the Process Work?
The process for infusion therapy is simple and comfortable with our attentive medical professionals. You will be instructed to sit down while a medical professional inserts a thin IV (intravenous) needle (usually in the arm). The contents of the IV bag will trickle into your bloodstream through this thin intravenous catheter. To make the process more comfortable, you are welcome to bring a book or tablet to keep yourself occupied during treatment.
Talk to Your Doctor About Infusion Therapy
Your doctor can determine if infusion therapy is the best route for treatment. There are a variety of conditions or symptoms that can benefit from infusion therapy. If it is recommended, our team will work with you to compose a schedule that works for you and ensures that you receive the comprehensive care you deserve to improve your symptoms.
