A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Keith Moore provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Alcoholic Fatty Liver: Excessive alcohol use can lead to alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition that can be avoided by moderating your alcohol consumption or abstaining altogether, preserving your overall digestive health.
• Pylorospasm: Preventing long-term problems from pylorospasm starts with recognizing the symptoms and seeking medical advice. Early management helps avoid dehydration and malnutrition, maintaining your overall digestive health.
• Viral Hepatitis: Early detection of viral hepatitis through regular blood tests is crucial for starting treatment promptly and preventing serious complications like cirrhosis and liver cancer.
• Duodenitis: Duodenitis, inflammation of your duodenum (the first part of your small intestine), can be prevented by maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle to reduce your risk of developing this often manageable condition.
• Colorectal Polyp: Colorectal polyps, even the small ones, highlight the importance of proactive digestive health. Regular check-ups can help find and remove these growths before they turn cancerous.
• Hiatal Hernia with Obstruction: A hiatal hernia with obstruction means a portion of your stomach is pushing up into your chest, blocking food passage and potentially leading to serious complications if left untreated, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management for optimal digestive health.
• Gastroptosis: While gastroptosis isn't always problematic, recognizing symptoms early and discussing them with your doctor can help prevent potential digestive discomfort and ensure timely management.
• Bile Duct Obstruction: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, may help reduce your risk of developing gallstones, a common cause of bile duct obstruction, and keep your digestive system functioning properly.
• Alcoholic Gastritis: Protecting your stomach from the damaging effects of alcohol is crucial; reducing alcohol intake significantly lowers your risk of developing alcoholic gastritis.
• Benign Neoplasm of the Digestive System: Many benign digestive growths are asymptomatic, highlighting the significance of preventive screenings to catch them before they cause problems.
• Dysentery: Early detection of dysentery symptoms like bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps is crucial for prompt treatment, preventing dehydration and potential long-term health issues.
• Esophageal Diverticulum: Understanding your risk factors and promptly addressing symptoms associated with an esophageal diverticulum, such as difficulty swallowing or chest pain, is key to preventing long-term health problems.

• Anal Cauterization: As a proactive measure to manage hemorrhoids, anal cauterization can seal off small blood vessels, reducing bleeding and pain.

• Liver Biopsy: A liver biopsy is a small procedure that helps doctors diagnose and monitor liver conditions early, allowing for timely treatment and better health outcomes.

• pH Probe: Taking a proactive step towards digestive health, a pH probe test helps identify the cause of your heartburn and other reflux symptoms, allowing for early intervention.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Gastrointestinal care with Dr. Keith Moore:

What is a Gastroenterologist?

Dr. Moore and our team are gastroenterologists, meaning we are specialists in the health of your digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, colon, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. We are experts in diagnosing and treating related conditions, and performing preventive screenings like colonoscopies.

When should I get my first screening colonoscopy?

For average-risk individuals, routine screening colonoscopies are now recommended to begin at age 45. However, those with a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors may need to start earlier. Dr. Moore will determine the best, personalized screening schedule for you.

What is the role of diet in managing IBS?

Diet plays a crucial role in managing IBS. Dr. Moore can help identify your trigger foods and recommend dietary approaches, such as the low FODMAP diet, to significantly reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal pain.

I have frequent heartburn. When should I be concerned?

While occasional heartburn is common, frequent or worsening symptoms (more than twice a week) should prompt a visit. This could be a sign of GERD, which if left untreated, can lead to more serious problems. Dr. Moore can diagnose the cause and create an effective treatment plan.

Can hemorrhoids be treated without surgery?

Yes, most hemorrhoids can be effectively managed with lifestyle and diet changes. For persistent internal hemorrhoids, Dr. Moore can perform simple, painless in-office procedures like hemorrhoid banding.

What are colon polyps, and are they dangerous?

Colon polyps are small, non-cancerous growths in the colon. However, some types can potentially develop into cancer over time. A colonoscopy is crucial to find and remove these polyps before they have a chance to become cancerous, preventing the development of colon cancer.

How do you manage chronic conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis?

We partner with patients to achieve and maintain remission of chronic conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. This involves advanced therapies to control inflammation, personalized nutritional guidance, and regular monitoring to prevent flare-ups and improve quality of life.

What are some common signs of liver problems I should watch for?

Some common signs of liver problems include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), persistent fatigue, abdominal swelling, and unexplained dark urine. If you experience any of these symptoms, please contact Dr. Keith Moore's office for a consultation and thorough evaluation.
