If you’re experiencing digestive issues that cause you pain or interfere with your daily life, the Gastroenterology team at Langdon Prairie Health can help.
We assist patients with:
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Crohn’s disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Heartburn or GERD
Some of the procedures we provide are:
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD): A test to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine (the duodenum).
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy: A procedure in which a trained medical professional uses a flexible, narrow tube with a light and tiny camera on one end to look inside the colon; flexible sigmoidoscopy can show irritated or swollen tissue, ulcers, polyps, and cancer.
- Upper endoscopy and other gastrointestinal consults: An upper GI endoscopy is a procedure in which a doctor uses an endoscope—a flexible tube with a camera—to see the lining of the upper GI tract. A gastroenterologist, surgeon, or other trained health care professional performs the procedure, often while you receive light sedation to help you relax.
