Colon Cancer

Cancers that begin in the lower bowel are called colon cancers. The colon is the last 4-6 feet of your intestine, an organ that helps eliminate solid waste from your body.

Dyspepsia / Indigestion

Fecal Incontinence

Fecal incontinence is the inability to control your bowel movements. Stool may leak from the rectum unexpectedly when passing gas or you may have a complete loss of bowel control.

Gas and Gas Pain

Everyone has gas and the effects can be normal. Most lower intestinal gas is produced when bacteria in your colon ferment carbohydrates that aren’t digested.

Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower portion of the rectum or anus that may be internal (located inside the lower rectum) or external.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS is a condition associated with symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel function (constipation, diarrhea, or alternating pattern).

Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in dairy products. You may feel cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. The pancreas is a long, flat gland that sits tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen.

Ulcers

An ulcer is an open sore on the skin or in a mucous membrane. Ulcers that form in the stomach are peptic ulcers and in the duodenum are called duodenal ulcers.
