Key services

Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a liver disease that can stay inside a person’s body and causes long-term illness, and seriously affects a person’s quality of life. The virus can last throughout a person’s lifetime and later cause liver scarring (cirrhosis) or liver cancer.

Celiac disease

Celiac disease is a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for staying healthy. The damage is due to a reaction to eating gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

IBS is not a disease. It’s a common disorder that causes the large bowel, or colon, which stores stool, to function improperly. Although IBS can cause a great deal of discomfort and distress, it does not cause inflammation or changes in bowel tissue.

Fatty liver disease

Fatty liver disease, also known as Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), mirrors alcoholic liver disease, except patients who have it drink very little or no alcohol at all. Patients often experience no symptoms until the disease has progressed.

Inflammatory bowel disease including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis

Inflammation to the lining of your digestive tract and can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and malnutrition. The inflammation from Crohn's disease can affect all layers and any part of the bowel. Ulcerative colitis only affects the large intestine.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

GERD, also called acid reflux, is caused by acid in your stomach flowing backward into your esophagus. Without treatment, chronic GERD can cause worsening symptoms and lead to inflammation or ulcers. And, potentially increase your risk of esophageal cancer.
