Do you ever think something "just isn't right" with your digestive health? In honor of IBS Awareness Month, we want to encourage you to seek treatment for chronic stomach issues, which may be a sign of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

If you are dealing with any of these symptoms, it may be time to stop guessing and start getting answers:

▶️ Abdominal pain that often changes or fluctuates after a bowel movement
▶️ Changes in bowel habits like diarrhea, constipation, or switching between the two
▶️ Persistent bloating or a frequent feeling of fullness

At University Health Alliance, our experts understand that these symptoms are more than just a nuisance and that they can completely upend your daily routine. You don't have to navigate gastrointestinal distress alone. Our team is here to help you understand what's going on and find a path toward lasting relief.

Stop wondering and start feeling better. Schedule an appointment with our Gastroenterology team today by calling 762-356-4785.

Spring is here, but for many in Northeast Georgia, so is allergy season. If pollen and mold are making your family miserable, there are simple steps you can take to reclaim your outdoor time.

From monitoring local pollen counts to keeping your home a "pollen-free zone," a few small changes can make a big difference in how you feel.

Try these quick tips to manage symptoms:

🌼 Watch local pollen levels and plan outdoor activities for days when counts are lower.
🌼 Keep windows closed to prevent inviting pollen and mold into your living space.
🌼 Shower and change clothes after spending time outside to avoid tracking allergens into the home.

While these habits help, sometimes you need a more tailored approach to find relief. Whether you're looking for the right over-the-counter options or need a prescription-strength solution, our team is here to help you breathe easier.

If you're looking for ways to support your digestive health and find relief, we’ve gathered some simple, science-backed tips to help your gut flourish. Read more here: https://bit.ly/46JtwzQ

April is National Cancer Control Month, a time to focus on increasing positive outcomes through early detection!

University Health Alliance primary care physician Dr. Steven Chesser emphasizes that early detection starts with your annual exam. Your annual physical is more than just a check-up; it is a vital opportunity for cancer detection and prevention through:

🔹 Genetic Risk Assessment: Reviewing your family history to identify genetic predispositions to specific cancers.

🔹 Social and Lifestyle Review: Evaluating habits and potential exposures that could increase your individual risk.

🔹 Physical Evaluation: Conducting a thorough exam to detect any early physical abnormalities.

🔹 Preventative Vaccinations: Discussing vaccines, such as those that can help prevent certain types of cancer.

While cancer screenings can feel overwhelming, they are a powerful tool for your long-term wellness. Early detection often leads to more manageable treatment options and significantly improves the chances of a positive outcome.

Schedule your primary care annual exam with our team today by calling 762-356-4933!

Please join us in celebrating National Doctors' Day, an occasion where we honor not only our own physicians at University Health Alliance and University Cancer & Blood Center, but also our incredible collaborating physicians in our community!

National Doctors’ Day actually traces its roots to our region, when Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of a physician, organized the first observance in Winder, Georgia. With time, the observance gained national recognition, and March 30 was formally established as National Doctors’ Day in the United States.

Thank you to our amazing UHA-UCBC physicians and to our collaborating physicians for all you to provide our community with top-notch, compassionate care, .

In honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we sat down with University Health Alliance Gastroenterologist, Dr. Minesh Mehta, to discuss the joint UHA-UCBC High Risk GI Clinic!

The Clinic collaborates closely with patients who possess underlying pre-cancerous conditions or genetic predispositions that elevate their susceptibility to GI cancers, such as pancreatic, colorectal, or gastric cancers.

"The High Risk GI Clinic basically helps us identify people or a subset of people within a population that may have family history of cancer or personal history of cancer to see if they have some genetic risk factor that may predispose them to experiencing or developing cancer," says Dr. Mehta.
