Read what one of our physicians, Dr. Gunaratnam, shared in the following article titled: "Gastroenterologists Can Lead Fight Against Obesity, Prevent Related Diseases"

When it comes to obesity and the host of life-threatening diseases that go along with it, we are facing an epidemic that’s out of control.

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month.

Gastroparesis is a condition often described as living with a paralyzed stomach. People with gastroparesis often have food sitting in their stomachs for long periods of time, which causes vomiting, chronic nausea, severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. The symptoms of the illness can and often do lead to weight loss, malnutrition, brain fog, vitamin deficiencies, dehydration and fatigue.

While there is still much to learn about gastroparesis, continued research, awareness, support, better diagnosis, and treatment of the disorder can lead to a better quality of life.

Our hope at Huron Gastro is to spread awareness of this debilitating disease. If you believe you or a loved one is suffering from this disorder, or have general questions about it, talk with your physician or healthcare provider.

The more we work together to raise awareness for gastroparesis, the greater our ability to impact positive outcomes!

All of our clinical studies are supervised by board-certified gastroenterologists with training, expertise, and credentialing in clinical research.

April is IBS awareness month
______________________________

IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, is a chronic, often debilitating, functional gastrointestinal disorder with symptoms that include abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel behaviors, such as constipation and/or diarrhea, or alternating between the two.

Did you know that IBS affects 1 in 7 Americans? IBS is so common that it’s likely you know at least one person with this functional disorder.

Huron Gastro is committed to working with our community to raise awareness for IBS, help diagnose and treat this disorder, and ultimately, improve patient care.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Let's use this month to raise awareness about colorectal cancer and take action toward prevention. Communities, health professionals, and families can all work together to encourage people to get screened.

Colorectal cancer affects all racial and ethnic groups and there are often no signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer – that’s why it’s so important to get screened.

The American Cancer Society now recommends colorectal cancer screening at age 45 for people at average risk. People at higher than average risk might need to start colorectal cancer screening before age 45, be screened more often, and/or get specific tests.

Talk to your health care provider to find out when to begin colorectal cancer screening and how often to get screened. Share this information with your friends and loved ones. Colorectal Cancer is PREVENTABLE - TREATABLE - BEATABLE!
