GI Conditions

Gastrointestinal diseases have increased around the world. We spend more money on GI diseases and GI conditions than heart disease or any others. Stress, depression, insomnia, food choices, genes, and many other factors drive GI diseases. GI problems can have a dramatic impact on your life. Reflux, ulcers, gastritis, gallstones, inflammatory bowel disease, or irritable bowel syndrome are just a few GI conditions. You will find information such as specific foods, reference materials, supportive care, exercises, home remedies and other resources to support healing your GI conditions and challenges. James S. Hixon, M.D., our resident Board Certified Gastroenterologist, has developed this relevant information for you.
