Digestive conditions we treat

You’ll find complete care for a wide range of digestive disorders at Baylor Scott & White. Our experienced gastroenterology (GI) specialists and surgeons treat many digestive tract disorders, including, but not limited to, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, gluten sensitivity and food intolerances.

Inflammatory bowel disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of autoimmune disorders of the bowels which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. An overactive immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the intestines, leading to inflammation that causes severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fatigue and many other symptoms.

Food intolerances

Also known as food sensitivities, food intolerances can trigger uncomfortable and, in some cases, life-threatening, allergic reactions after eating certain foods. Lactose intolerance , or the inability to digest a type of sugar found in dairy products, is one of the most common types of food intolerance.

Celiac disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which consuming gluten damages the small intestine. Different than a food intolerance or food allergy, celiac disease requires careful management of your diet and the support of a caring medical team.

Our digestive disease diagnostics and treatments

There is no one-size-fits-all plan for digestive diseases. Our team goes through a thorough diagnostic process with you, from your first exam through lab tests and imaging, to ensure we fully understand your symptoms, genetic history (if applicable) and other health concerns. Using that information, we’re able to tailor a treatment plan unique to your needs.

If clinical trials are available, you may have the opportunity to take part and gain access to innovative treatments for digestive diseases.

Our diagnostic test include:

Colonoscopy
Endoscopy, including endoscopic ultrasound, balloon-assisted enteroscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy
Esophageal manometry
Genetic testing

Treatments range from medication management and support for lifestyle changes to surgical procedures performed by colorectal surgeons.
