Gastroenterology Care

Resources

Living with a digestive disorder significantly impacts your quality of life. 

At Tanner, our gastroenterology team helps you find relief from your gastrointestinal symptoms.

Tips to take control

 

  • Be an active member of your care team. Talk to your doctor about your condition and treatment plan. Ask any questions you have and speak up if you have concerns about medications or symptoms.  
  • Know your triggers. When symptoms flare, look for patterns in your eating or activities that could be to blame. Keep a food diary to better monitor how your food, beverages or medicines are affecting you.
  • Manage stress. Digestive disorders create an unhealthy spiral. Stress may worsen your symptoms and living with those symptoms creates more stress. It is important to find ways to relax through hobbies, breathing exercises or yoga. View our Healthy Living classes.

The Snowball Effect of Overmedicating in Older Adults
The Snowball Effect of Overmedicating in Older Adults

Many older adults take several medications to manage chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. Over time, new prescriptions can be added to treat symptoms or side effects from other medications — and the list keeps growing. This is known as polypharmacy, and while it’s common, it can also create unintended risks.
