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.

How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story
How Your Period Can Reveal Your Health Story

At Tanner Women’s Care, serving women throughout west Georgia and east Alabama with locations in Carrollton, Villa Rica and Wedowee, we hear common questions like, “Is my period normal? How often should it occur? When should I worry about irregular periods?” These concerns are valid and deserve clear answers close to home. Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle occurs every 21 to 35 days, lasts from three to seven days, and is accompanied by a flow that doesn’t interfere with daily life. But “normal” can vary — what truly matters is knowing your own rhythm and noticing when things change.
