Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a variety of symptoms, most commonly cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may alternate between diarrhea and constipation. IBS causes discomfort and often is upsetting, but it does not harm the intestines or lead to diseases such as cancer.
Diarrhea
Pneumonia
In some people, dysphagia can be serious. If you are unable to get enough food and fluids to say healthy because you can’t swallow, weight loss or nutritional problems can result. In the worst cases, dysphagia can result in aspiration pneumonia. This occurs when food enters the lungs instead of the esophagus, causing bacterial infection, pneumonia, and occasionally death.

Internal Medicine
Gastroenterology
Atlanta Gastroenterology Specialists provides a variety of gastroenterology services including Inflammatory Bowel Disease treatment, colonscopies, upper endoscopies, clinical trials, and more.
Colon Cancer
A screening colonoscopy is performed solely for the purpose of screening asymptomatic persons by searching for early stage colorectal cancers before they cause symptoms, and, importantly, for colon polyps, benign growths which might give rise to a colon cancer if allowed to continue to grow in the colon. When found during a colonoscopy, these polyps are removed at the same time they are discovered, thereby preventing their potential transformation into a colorectal cancer at some future time.
Endoscopy
Your doctor has determined that you should have a Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy. In order for your physician to get the most accurate information from this test, you will need to follow the directions listed below.

Multiple Sclerosis
Some people are born with swallowing problems but in many cases they develop as a result of a physical illness or medical condition. There are many causes of dysphagia, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and other neurological disorders. Muscular disorders (such as myasthenia gravis or muscular dystrophy) may also be responsible. Cancers of the head, neck, and mouth and/or cancer treatment may be a cause of dysphagia.

Stress Management
If you feel stressed frequently and have IBS, stress management may help your symptoms. Examples of stress management include...

Ultrasound
MRI
After ingesting the capsule and until it is excreted, you should not be near any source of powerful electromagnetic field such as one created near an MRI device or amateur (ham) radio. Occasionally, some images may be lost due to radio interference. On rare occasions, this may result in the need to repeat the procedure.
