Winter can be a challenging time for people living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. More colds and flu, less sunlight, holiday stress, and weather-related disruptions can all make symptoms harder to manage.

If you notice changes in how you feel during the colder months, reach out early and keep in close contact with your care team. Small adjustments in routine or treatment planning can help protect your stability through the season. https://gialliance.com/condition/inflammatory-bowel-disease-united-states/

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet too many people are still diagnosed at a late stage. National experts now recommend most adults begin regular screening at age 45.

Screening is not one-size-fits-all. Your GI Alliance provider can help you choose the right test, which may include colonoscopy or stool-based tests, based on your risk factors and preferences. The most important step is to get started and to stay on schedule. https://gialliance.com/service/colon-cancer-screening-united-states/

People over 45 years old and people with certain risk factors should receive regular colon cancer screenings to detect and prevent colon cancer.

Many patients assume clinical trials are only offered at large academic hospitals. In reality, GI Alliance brings research directly into community practices so patients can access new therapies close to home.

Across our network, there are more than 160 active clinical trials studying conditions like IBD, fatty liver disease, IBS, and more. Clinical trials are carefully monitored and follow strict safety and ethics standards, giving many patients access to options that are not yet widely available.

If you are interested in research for yourself or a family member, you can search open studies and talk with your GI Alliance provider about whether a trial might be appropriate. https://gialliance.com/find-a-trial/

It is the last month of the year, which makes it the perfect time to catch up on preventive care. Most adults should begin regular colon cancer screening at age 45 and continue on a schedule recommended by their provider.

If you are 45 or older or have a family history of colorectal cancer, do not wait until the new year. A colonoscopy can find and remove precancerous polyps before they ever become cancer. GI Alliance teams across the country make this exam as safe, comfortable, and efficient as possible.

Medical practitioners have long hailed the importance of the colonoscopy as a diagnostic procedure, especially in the case of colon cancer.
