The practice of gastroenterology concentrates on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine (colon), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. This medical field is really a subspecialty of Internal Medicine, as is, for example, Cardiology, which deals with diseases of the heart.

One cap full with 8 ounces of water a day for possibly up to a year depending on how bad his colon was. After 6 months he was doing so much better so I began to decrease the dosage. MY MISTAKE. His colon was not opporational yet. He went right back into his soiling. I took him back into the Dr.'s after the year and she didn't know so she referred me to a GI specialist at Children's Mercy Hospital. This Dr.

If you are looking for colon cancer screening then it would be a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. If you are looking for other diseases of the colon they have the lower GI and upper GI.

At your age, unless you have a family history of Colon Cancer it would be quite rare. Stop reading about Colon Cancer online as it will only stress you out! Go to your doctor and get checked out. Could very well be hemorroids and IBS, or other non-life threatening diseases. Either way get it checked, but Colon Cancer would be quite rare.

s why it was read as non-specific) including infections, inflammatory bowel diseases, benign tumors, or even malignant growths. Infections in this part of the intestine can include amebic colitis which can be treated easily. IBD's or inflammatory bowel diseases such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can also present with this thickening. Malignancy or cancer can also present this way.

This is one of the first things a gastro doc will ask you, as there are hereditary colon diseases. I wish I was of more help, but do get this checked out because something is obviously going on. Take care.

I did a colonoscopy last week and I received the results of the biopsy today. They removed a 5mm polyp from my colon the diagnosis is Mixed hyperplastic/adenomatous polyp with moderate dysplasia. What exactly does this mean? I was told that I need to do a colonoscopy every year for the rest of my life to ensure that no other polyps or colon cancer develops.

pregnancy, certain medications, alcohol abuse, intestinal diseases such as tropical sprue and celiac disease During early pregnancy, sufficient folic acid can prevent the fetus from developing neural tube defects such as spina bifida.

The pain could be due to excessive flatulence, which could be due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), malabsorption, inflammatory bowel diseases and various infections of the colon. Blood tests will help detect infections, besides stool examination which will reveal fat malabsorption. Colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy are procedures which are used to study the whole colon for infections and inflammations. Bacterial overgrowth is tested with a breath test.

m asking this question for my father (52), but he told me that he pulled an 8-inch tapeworm out of his colon in the bathroom. Obviously he has a tapeworm infection, but what does it mean if it came out bloody? I haven't been able to find anything about this on google.

The blood in stool could be caused from food change or too rich of foods (Including Hot Dogs), digestive problems, colon problems, parasites, or a number of diseases, etc....Too many things to list! Good for you to get her to her Vet! I do wish you luck tomorrow...Let us know what you find out.....

Its unlikely that IBS can cause back pain. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, i.e. once all other diseases of the colon like colitis, infections, tumors etc. have been ruled out, then the diagnosis of IBS is made. Take OTC pain medications like Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. Ensure to take them after food. If the pain persists or becomes more severe please consult your primary care physician. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

s disease itself only means, that an end part of the colon is not innervated properly, what leads to constipation or diarrhea. In severe cases, affected part of the colon has to be surgically removed, and no other problems are expected. This disease alone is not a life threatening one. It is important to know, if other inborn diseases co-exist, which occurs quite often.

Hi, occasionally there could be indigestion and the food may appear undigested. Other causes could be due to malabsorption, inflammatory bowel diseases and various infections of the colon.

I have never had anything like this before and have no other symptoms of colon cancer besides my stools occasionally being narrower than normal. Should I be worried at this point?

I also experienced burning sensations in my stomach or tightness that comes and goes but not often. I don’t have cramps, pain or a fever and no family history of colon cancer and in 2020 went to the hospital for separate reasons and had blood test and a X-rays if that’s important or worth mentioning. Is this IBS or something else? I’m eating regularly but when it’s time to go my bowels seems incomplete.

I've had a diagnosis of IBS for several years but never had much of a problem. Recently in the past 6-8 months however I've had a dramatic decrease in appetite and weight and the more I try to eat the more abdominal discomfort I get. I've also had a aching and cramping pain in the same location in my extreme lower right abdomen. It's some what tender to the touch from the outside but from the inside (my vagina) it's worse.

My uncle recently had colon resection (last Thursday). His colon has yet to "awaken". He has been unable to take in fluids of any kind. Is this time span normal? When should be worried that he has no activity?

He was absolutely correct in not giving you a diagnosis at the time of the colonoscopy - he needs to get the biopsied tissue looked at by a pathologist who has experience of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, which I am sure he is doing. Gastros cannot tell by looking at inflamed intestines during colonoscopy whether the cause is UC or Crohn's. The tissue cells need to be looked at under a microscope in a path lab.

Hi, Any laboratory test must be interpreted in the appropriate clinical context. Please provide the important clinical details. A "tumor marker" blood level may be increased by cancer as well as non-cancer causes. All the best, and God Bless!
