Acute and chronic diseases of the pancreas
Problems with the pancreas can lead to many health problems, such as pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas. These issues are common digestive disorders that require specialized care.

Appendicitis
Appendicitis is when your appendix becomes sore, swollen and diseased, causing severe abdominal pain. This condition is among the many gastrointestinal diseases we treat.

Barrett's esophagus
Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which tissue that is similar to the lining of your intestine replaces the tissue lining your esophagus. It is often diagnosed in people who have long-term gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Celiac disease
Celiac disease is a digestive problem that causes pain in your small intestine. It stops your body from taking in nutrients from food. It can cause your body to become sensitive to gluten, a protein found in wheat.

Crohn’s disease
Crohn’s disease causes sores, pain and swelling in the digestive system, most often in the small intestine. It can cause symptoms such as chronic stomach pain, urgent bowel movements, diarrhea, bloody stool, fatigue and weight loss.

Diseases of the small bowel and colon
These diseases can include a range of conditions and issues affecting the small intestine, including bleeding, Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, infections, intestinal cancer, intestinal obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and ulcers.

Diverticular disease
Diverticular disease is a condition that causes small bulges to form in the wall of the large intestine (colon) that is caused by weakened areas in the colon.

Functional bowel disorders
A functional bowel disorder is a gastrointestinal issue that affects how the mid or lower gastrointestinal tract works. Some conditions include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), abdominal bloating, constipation and diarrhea.

Gallbladder and liver disorders
The liver and gallbladder serve important functions in digestion. Some common disorders that can affect them include liver cirrhosis and gallstones.

Gastritis
Gastritis is when your stomach lining gets red and swollen (inflamed) or irritated, often due to foods or medications you have eaten. It can cause stomach pain and aches, gas and abdominal bleeding.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion. Learn about the minimally invasive treatment for GERD at Tanner.

Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is a stomach disorder that happens when your stomach takes too long to empty out food, causing stomach pain and digestive issues.

Hepatitis vaccines, treatments and disease management
There are several types of hepatitis. Hepatitis is a disease that affects the liver and caused by a virus that causes inflammation of the liver.

Lactose intolerance
Lactose intolerance is when your body can't break down or digest lactose, which is a sugar found in milk and milk products. It can cause stomach pain and cramps, gas and bloating.

Peptic ulcers
Peptic ulcers are painful sores that develop in the lining of the stomach, lower esophagus or small intestine.

Peritonitis
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the lining of your inner abdominal wall and that covers the abdominal organs. It is usually due to a bacterial or fungal infection.

Swallowing disorders
Swallowing disorders are usually conditions that affect the esophagus, such as dysphagia. People who have a swallowing disorder may experience pain when swallowing or inability to swallow liquids or solids.

Ulcerative colitis
Ulcerative colitis causes the lining of your large intestine (colon) or rectum to become inflamed, causing stomach pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding and fever and fatigue depending on the severity.
