Posted January 27, 2010 by drtabib

celiac disease As we in our lives, it becomes more difficult to keep up with our health as we have to run around with responsibility. So by the time many of us realize that our health is slipping it may be too late. And what if you could do something in order to achieve a form of colon cancer prevention?

A common form of colon cancer diagonosist is in the colon polyps. An experienced gastric doctor would be able to diagnose you with the aid if a camera guided scope. He or she will be able to pin point an almost precise diagnosis in order to better treat your condition.

The main symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease for adults is frequent heartburn, also called acid indigestion, a burning pain in the mid-chest, behind the breast bone and sometimes in the middle abdomen. Some children under 12 years may suffer from reflux disease without heartburn. These can sometimes be diagnosed with sensations of dry cough, asthma like symptoms or trouble swallowing. If your child be suffering form similar symptoms you may want to consult a gastro specialist doctor about what options you may have.

Ever since the discovery of Celiac disease doctors have been working towards ways of treating this hereditary disease in order to help those suffering with this to live better lives.

Cutting The Risk Of Cancer
Posted November 19, 2009 by drtabib
gastroesophageal reflux disease A few everyday choices about diet, exercise and tobacco use can significantly reduce your risk of cancer, according to a recent report on cancer.

The report looked at the methodology and latest findings on important approaches that can make a real difference in developing colon polyps and preventing cancer. Smoking: Quitting reduces the risk of lung and other cancers, regardless of the number of years of smoking. According to The American Cancer Society, eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily as they are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other substances may lower the risk of cancer as well as prevent intestinal illnesses such as gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Limiting fat: According to current guidelines recommend keeping fat intake between 20 and 30 percent of total daily calories, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, such as fish, nuts and vegetable oils.

Monitoring your body weight: Obesity or being overweight can increase the risk of postmenopausal breast cancer as well as cancers of the colon, endometrium, esophagus and kidney. There’s evidence that obesity also increases the risk of cancers of the prostate, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach, ovary and cervix. Be physically active: From 45 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a day, on most days of the week, is considered optimal to reduce the risk of breast and colorectal cancers. Reducing sun exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, sunlamps or commercial tanning beds, is the primary cause of skin cancer, the most common of all cancers.

Getting scheduled screening exams: Pap tests, mammograms, colonoscopies and other routine screenings cannot prevent cancer, however, screenings can help find cancers early, when treatment is most likely to be successful. For more information about cancer prevention or various treatments such as appendicitis treatment Los Angeles patients are encouraged to visit their local Gastroenterology and Hepatology specialists to learn more.

The only treatment for celiac disease is to follow a gluten-free diet. When a person is first diagnosed with celiac disease, the doctor usually will ask the person to work with a dietitian on a gluten-free diet plan. A dietitian is a health care professional who specializes in food and nutrition. Someone with celiac disease can learn from a dietitian how to read ingredient lists and identify foods that contain gluten in order to make informed decisions at the grocery store and when eating out.
colon polyps Celiac disease is unrelated to other possible gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease. For most people suffering from celiac disease, following this diet will stop symptoms, heal existing intestinal damage, and prevent further damage. Improvements begin within days of starting the diet. The small intestine is usually completely healed in 3 to 6 months in children and younger adults and within 2 years for older adults. Completely healed means a person now has villi that can absorb nutrients from food into the bloodstream. celiac diseaseIn order to stay well, people with celiac disease must avoid gluten for the rest of their lives. Eating any gluten, no matter how small an amount, can damage the small intestine. The damage will occur in anyone with the disease, including people without noticeable symptoms. Depending on a person's age at diagnosis, some problems will not improve, such as delayed growth, tooth discoloration, and the presence of colon polyps, if any.

Some people with celiac disease show no improvement on the gluten-free diet. The condition is called unresponsive celiac disease. The most common reason for poor response is that small amounts of gluten are still present in the diet. Advice from a dietitian who is skilled in educating patients about the gluten-free diet is essential to achieve best results.

Rarely, the intestinal injury will continue despite a strictly gluten-free diet. People in this situation have severely damaged intestines that cannot heal. Because their intestines are not absorbing enough nutrients, they may need to directly receive nutrients into their bloodstream through a vein (intravenously). People with this condition may need to be evaluated for complications of the disease. Researchers are now evaluating drug treatments for unresponsive celiac disease. For additional information on treating celiac disease and colon cancer prevention, please contact your local gastrointestinal specialists.

An American Association for Cancer Research news release this month reports that a genetic mutation may explain why blacks are more likely than whites to have a more aggressive form of colorectal cancer. "Several studies have identified a disparity between African-Americans and whites for colorectal cancer. What this study does is pinpoint a possible genetic cause," study author Upender Manne, an associate professor in the pathology and Los Angeles colon cancer prevention department at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said in the news release.

They analyzed DNA from 137 black colorectal cancer patients and 236 white patients, and found that both groups had similar rates of p53 mutations. However, the frequency of Pro72 allele of p53 was found in 17% of blacks and in only 7% of whites. The Arg72 allele was found in 36% of whites, and in 19% of blacks. The study intentionally did not account for non-cancer related gastrointestinal conditions such as Beverly Hills gastroesophageal reflux disease (commonly known as GERD) when pursuing its findings.

The presence of Pro72 allele in blacks was associated with a more than twofold increase in death due to colorectal cancer, the researchers found. "This paper shows that in a subset of patients with the Pro72 allele, the susceptibility to p53 mutations may be a possible molecular explanation for the racial disparity," Manne said. The study appears in the current April 2009 issue of Clinical Cancer Research.

Learning more about the relationship between molecular defects and differences in colorectal cancer incidence, aggressiveness and patient outcomes may help lead to individualized treatments and the elimination of racial disparities like the development of Beverly Hills colon polyps, the researchers wrote.

The discovery boosts the scientific understanding of racial disparities in cancer and other diseases like Los Angeles Celiac disease and adds new detail in the ongoing search for more personalized cancer-fighting therapies, said Upender Manne, Ph.D., an associate professor in the UAB Department of Pathology who led the study.
