Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, is a very complex topic. Irritable bowel syndrome is basically divided into an irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea. In the field of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, there have been numerous medicines that have come out in the last few years that have helped us treat and target the colon or the large intestine to help achieve better bowel movements and better control of symptoms. In the field of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, we have seen that intestinal bacteria plays a major role. Our small intestine and large intestine have several bacteria. Most of them are friendly bacteria, and there’s a small portion of bacteria that is harmful. We’ve noticed that when the balance of bacteria changes in the intestines, that can lead to various problems. Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea may be linked to some of this bacteria. Now, we have antibiotics that selectively target to kill bad bacteria in the intestines, and that helps symptoms of diarrhea in these patients. Also, there’s been several important changes in probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are basically bacteria that are good to the intestine, and these are bacteria that normally reside in the intestines. They help regulate the daily function of the intestines. Prebiotics, or nutrients that the probiotic bacteria use, and by consuming prebiotics and probiotics, the normal bacterial flora and the intestines are maintained, which subsequently leads to good regulation of bowel habits and helps with irritable bowel syndrome.
Diarrhea

Gastroenterology
GastroIntestinal Specialists, A.M.C. is an independent digestive health clinic that aims to provide personalized care for our patients. Our physicians specialize in care for diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver and pancreas, as well as colon cancer screening. They are all board-certified in Gastroenterology or Transplant Hepatology, with over 150 years of combined experience and expertise in their field.
Colon Cancer
Endoscopy
Procedures are billed by the Shreveport Endoscopy Center, A.M.C. and are called facility fees, which include a fee for the use of the facility, cost of medications, supplies, equipment, etc. This is much like the hospital’s fee. The physician’s fee is separate.

Ultrasound
Endoscopic ultrasound technology is a relatively new technology that has been available over the last decade or so. It offers a window for us to reach certain organs in the body that are very difficult to reach. Examples are the gallbladder, the pancreas and the bile ducts. Many times, small precancerous lesions, tumors, gallstones or pancreas diseases can be seen and visualized very well with endoscopy ultrasound. It offers an unprecedented access to these organs that are not usually available with other techniques such has a CT scan or MRI. There are certain diseases that are only diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasound, and that has been a major breakthrough in gastroenterology. Endoscopy ultrasound also offers an access to reach some tissue in these important organs by using a small needle that can be guided under ultrasound guidance to obtain biopsies from precancerous lesions, cysts and tumors in the body.
