What are common Gastrointestinal problems in Greenwich CT?

Gastrointestinal (GI) problems include any symptom or condition that affects your gastrointestinal system. Your GI system includes your:

• Mouth
• Stomach
• Small intestine
• Large intestine
• Liver
• Pancreas
• Gallbladder

These organs work together to help you digest, metabolize, and absorb nutrients from the food you eat. Any condition that affects the structure or function of one or more of these organs may cause GI problems.

With GI problems, you may have symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, or indigestion. GI problems may also affect your ability to digest and absorb nutrients, putting you at risk of malnutrition.

Though many conditions cause GI problems, Dr. Massoud focuses on your whole health, not only your symptoms or diagnosis.

What happens during a consultation for GI problems?

When you visit Greenwich Wellness with concerns about GI problems, Dr. Massoud conducts a comprehensive history and physical exam. He asks detailed questions about your symptoms, daily routine, typical diet, and the types of medications and supplements you take.

Dr. Massoud performs a physical exam, paying close attention to spinal and joint alignment. Your spine protects your spinal cord and serves as an exit point for your peripheral nerves.

Your peripheral nerves act as a means of communication between your body’s organs — including your digestive system — and the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Misalignment in your spine may affect this communication, contributing to your GI problems.

Dr. Massoud may also request diagnostic tests, such as blood work to assess nutritional health or imaging tests to evaluate the structure of your spine.
