Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a colonoscopy? 
A colonoscopy helps detect abnormalities such as bleeding sites, polyps, inflammations or tumors. Biopsies may be taken to determine the presence of Colitis/Crohn's disease, to detect cancer or to remove polyps. 

If I notice a change in bowel movements, should I go to the doctor? 
You should consult your doctor if you notice changes in bowel habit in order to rule out any underlying diseases or disorders. 

What can I do to alleviate acid reflux? 
It is best to consult your physician to advise necessary medication and evaluation, but here are somethings you can do on your own:

  • Avoid eating large portions at one time
  • Refrain from eating 2-3 hours before bed
  • Elevate your head while sleeping
  • Limit your intake of coffee, tea, carbonated beverages, alcohol, chocolate, peppermint and other fatty foods
