You’re ready to feel like you again. And we’re prepared to help with proven treatments for chronic digestive disorders like Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis and celiac disease.

Living your best life means feeling your best. So, when health issues, big or small, throw life off balance, we’re here to find answers, heal what’s hurting and help you choose the best treatment.

Across our network of care, our digestive health specialists use the latest technology and, when possible, minimally invasive techniques for faster healing and less pain, including:

• Abdominoperineal resection
• Bravo pH probe (acid-monitoring system)
• Capsule endoscopy
• Colonoscopy
• Colorectal cancer surgery
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy
• Fluoroscopy
• Interventional radiology
• Laparoscopy
• Upper endoscopy

When you feel good, you’re ready to face each new day with energy. At AdventHealth, we help keep your healthy lifestyle on track with regular screenings.

A colonoscopy, which is a preventive colon cancer screening, is recommended for adults 45 and older — or younger, if they have risk factors like a family history of colon cancer. The procedure is short, simple and painless and helps catch issues early.

We offer a full range of preventive screenings, including:

• Endoscopic ultrasound
• Esophageal motility studies
• Esophageal pH assessment
• Pharyngeal pH assessment
• Upper endoscopy
• Videoesophagram

So, if you’re over 45 or have risk factors, add “schedule a colonoscopy” to your to-do list. Colonoscopy is the best way to discover issues and treat them early. There’s no substitute for early detection — or for your peace of mind when you hear all is well. No matter the outcome, we’re here to keep you healthy and to treat any issues that may arise.
