At Citrus Valley Gastro, we believe in the power of prevention — and there’s no better way to protect your health than with a timely colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is one of the most effective screening tools for colorectal cancer and other digestive conditions. It can detect and remove polyps before they turn into cancer, and offer early-detection for issues you may not feel yet.

• Infrequent bowel movements
• Hard or lumpy stools
• Straining during bowel movements
• Feeling like you haven’t fully emptied

✨ What you can do:
• Stay hydrated
• Increase fiber intake
• Stay active
• Don’t delay medical evaluation if symptoms continue

Our team at Citrus Valley Gastro is here to help you understand your symptoms and find relief. If constipation is affecting your quality of life, you don’t have to manage it alone—we’re here to support you with compassionate, specialized care.

🩺 Colon Cancer Screening Saves Lives — Don’t Wait! 💙
At Citrus Valley Gastro, we’re dedicated to protecting your digestive health, and that starts with early detection.

Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early. Regular screenings—especially colonoscopies—can detect precancerous polyps before they become a serious threat. Early detection not only increases treatment success but can prevent cancer altogether.

👉 Who should get screened?
Most adults should begin screening at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history or risk factors.

Your health is worth the time. If you’ve been putting off your screening, let this be your reminder: now is the time to schedule it.

✔️ Compassionate care
✔️ Experienced specialists
✔️ Advanced diagnostic technology

Your future self will thank you.
Call Citrus Valley Gastro today to book your screening appointment! 📞💙

Having Trouble Swallowing? It Could Be .
At Citrus Valley Gastro, your digestive health is our priority — and that includes helping you understand symptoms that may feel confusing or concerning.

What is Dysphagia?
Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty swallowing. It can happen at any age but becomes more common as we get older. If swallowing feels painful, slow, or like food is “getting stuck,” it may be more than just an occasional discomfort.

Common Symptoms Include:
✨ Feeling like food or liquid is stuck in your throat or chest
✨ Coughing or choking while eating
✨ Unexplained weight loss
✨ Frequent heartburn or regurgitation
✨ Pain while swallowing
✨ Drooling or trouble managing saliva
✨ Taking longer than usual to finish meals

If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to ignore them.

How Citrus Valley Gastro Can Help
Our experienced gastroenterology team offers:
✔️ Comprehensive evaluations to identify the cause of dysphagia
✔️ Advanced diagnostic tools such as endoscopy, imaging, and esophageal testing
✔️ Personalized treatment plans, from medication and lifestyle changes to specialized procedures
✔️ Compassionate care focused on restoring your comfort and confidence while eating

Your digestive health matters. If swallowing has become difficult or uncomfortable, we’re here to help you get answers and feel better.

💛 Your health is in good hands at Citrus Valley Gastro.
