Gastroenterology

Treating GI Conditions in Beloit

Beloit Health System offers comprehensive gastrointestinal (GI) services, including state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment procedures at Beloit Clinic and on our NorthPointe Health and Wellness Campus. Gastroenterology is the study of the normal function and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. Procedures performed include removal of colon polyps and cancer, and treatment of hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn), peptic ulcer disease, colitis, gallbladder and biliary tract disease, nutritional problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis.

Our board-certified GI doctors (gastroenterologists) treat all conditions affecting the digestive system, which are the organs and structures that make up the GI tract. Our physicians use minimally invasive procedures and surgeries to meet patients’ treatment goals, utilizing the most advanced, cutting-edge equipment.

How Can a Gastroenterologist Help Me?

Symptoms like chronic bloating, indigestion, belly pain, gas, and burping may indicate a problem that could be treated by a GI doctor. Our highly trained experts are here to help you. Many things can irritate your GI condition, and we can help you navigate life with a chronic condition. Signs something may be wrong include chronic stomachaches, diarrhea, or gas. If your child is experiencing pain lasting more than a few days, consider scheduling a doctor’s appointment so they can get the relief they crave.
