⏰ GI pop quiz! ⏰ What could cause iron deficiency anemia?

▪️ Not eating enough foods 🥩 🍗 🍤 🥦 🍫 with iron
▪️ Problems with absorbing iron
▪️ Suffering from too much blood 🩸 loss due to sores in your gastrointestinal track; inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis; or hemorrhoids

If you guessed all of the above, you’re correct! ✅

While there are many reasons iron levels may be low 📉, iron deficiency anemia occurs when blood does not have enough hemoglobin to take oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Iron deficiency anemia occurs in both men and women, but more commonly in women. It can range from mild to severe. Most patients with mild or moderate cases do not have symptoms.

Colorectal cancer is the 2️⃣nd-leading cause of death, but this disease is beatable and treatable.

How do we save lives? It starts with screening!

One screening option is to undergo a colonoscopy. This allows doctors to view the entire colon and re**um for polyps or cancer, and it is CRUCIAL for detection since most CRC cancers come from precancerous polyps that form over several years to become cancer.

Not all colon polyps have the same risk of turning into colon cancer, but catching and removing polyps before symptoms arise can cure colorectal cancer.

That means easier treatments and higher survival rates!

Let’s work together to make sure everyone is getting screened at the right time. For people of average risk, screening should start at age 4️⃣5️⃣. For people with family history of CRC or are considered high risk, screening may need to start earlier.

Did you know obesity can affect the liver? 🤔

Obesity can have harmful health effects on organs (like the liver and pancreas), and studies have linked it to liver disease such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as NAFLD).

That’s why we’re sharing about our Obesity Resource Center during Liver Awareness Month.

Preparing for your 🦃 day spread this week? Make sure your digestive system is ready and understand how dyspepsia can affect your stomach during or after eating.

Dyspepsia, better known as indigestion, affects people of all ages and ethnicities. If you have dyspepsia, you might feel full during a meal; have painful fullness after a meal; or feel heat, burning or pain in your upper belly region that ranges from mild to very bad.

Indigestion is caused by many things. Adjust your eating habits to avoid the following and prevent uncomfortable GI symptoms during your meal.

🚫 Eating too fast.
🚫 Eating too much in one sitting.
🚫 Eating high-fat, greasy or spicy foods.

Instead, try to:

✅ Eat at a slower pace.
✅ Allow enough time for meals.
✅ Don’t eat right before you go to bed.

Many people can manage occasional or Thanksgiving-related indigestion with lifestyle changes. But your symptoms are unique to you, and there could be other causes of indigestion, such as GERD.

Dec. 1 marks the start of 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒉𝒏’𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒔 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌! We’re joining the IBD community to raise awareness about these chronic conditions.

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two main types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While there are currently no cures, many treatment options are available.

Crohn’s disease causes inflammation in the digestive system and while it can show up in any part of the GI tract, the lower part of the small intestine (the ileum) is the most common part of the body affected. It can affect people of all races and ethnicities and is usually found between ages 13 and 30. The condition results in uncomfortable symptoms, including:

▪ Belly pain and cramps
▪ Diarrhea
▪ Weight loss
▪ Re**al bleeding

Ulcerative colitis is more common worldwide compared to Crohn’s, and affects the colon and re**um, plus parts or all of the large intestine. Ulcerative colitis is more likely to develop in individuals between the ages of 15 and 30, or older than 60 years of age, and includes symptoms such as:

▪ Diarrhea
▪ Blood in the stool
▪ Urgency or immediate need to go to the bathroom
▪ Increased bowel movements
▪ Belly pain and cramping
