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.

If doctors are recommending changes to your diet, Tanner offers one-on-one nutritional support to help you create a healthy eating plan. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call 770-812-5954.

What to Expect at Your Pap Smear Visit
What to Expect at Your Pap Smear Visit

Life moves fast. Between work, family and everything else, it's easy to put off routine health checks — especially when you feel fine. But here’s the thing: cervical cancer often doesn’t show symptoms until it’s advanced. If you're preparing for your first Pap smear or it's been a few years since your last one, you might be wondering: • What happens during a Pap smear? • Will it hurt? • Do I still need one if I feel healthy? These are common — and completely normal — questions. The good news is that a Pap smear test is quick, simple and one of the most effective ways to prevent cervical cancer. Let’s walk through everything you need to know so you feel calm, informed and ready for your appointment.
