Patients have trusted the specialists at Cedar Valley Digestive Health Center since 1989 for the treatment of digestive disorders and diseases. Patients commonly see us when irregular digestive symptoms arise including heartburn, constipation, abdominal pain, ulcers, or other stomach or bowel-related issues. Depending on the diagnosis and the patient, we develop a treatment plan that may include medication, therapies or sometimes surgeries. Common procedures performed include colonoscopies, endoscopies, and treatments for gallstones, reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s, hemorrhoids, and Hepatitis C.

Did you know that Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) is often connected to pancreatic cancer?
EPI happens when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough digestive enzymes, making it harder for the body to absorb nutrients and leading to symptoms like bloating, fatty stools and unintentional weight loss.
Because pancreatic tumors can block or damage the part of the pancreas that makes these enzymes, EPI is common in people with pancreatic cancer and sometimes one of the first signs something’s wrong.
At Cedar Valley Digestive Health, we’re dedicated to helping our community recognize the signs early, manage symptoms effectively, and support those affected.
Join us in raising awareness this November. Together, we can make a difference.

Did you know?
Chronic pancreatitis (long-term inflammation of the pancreas) can increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The good news: Healthy lifestyle choices and early care can lower your risk.
Avoid smoking and heavy drinking and manage conditions like gallstones or diabetes. See your provider if you experience recurring abdominal pain. Your health is worth protecting. Stay proactive and informed.

GLP-1 medications (commonly prescribed for diabetes and weight loss) are helping many people reach their goals, but it’s important to know the risks.
In rare cases, GLP-1 use has been linked to pancreatitis - a serious inflammation of the pancreas.
Warning signs include sudden severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
Your health comes first. Always discuss new or concerning symptoms with your healthcare provider.
