What does “AI-assisted colonoscopy” actually mean for you as a patient? At GI Alliance, many of our locations now use GI Genius, an artificial intelligence tool that acts like a second set of eyes during your colonoscopy.

While your gastroenterologist carefully examines the colon, GI Genius runs in the background, highlighting tiny or flat polyps that can be easy to miss. Studies show this kind of AI support can cut the chance of missed polyps nearly in half and improve early detection.

The goal is simple: make every colonoscopy as thorough as possible so we can prevent more colorectal cancers before they start.

This procedure uses artificial intelligence AI to enhance colorectal cancer detection, potentially reducing the chance of missed polyps by up to 50

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/

Occasional heartburn after a big meal is common. Heartburn several times a week is not. Frequent burning in the chest, food or acid coming back up, or a chronic cough can be signs of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a chronic condition that deserves medical attention.

GI Alliance providers can help you sort out whether your symptoms are simple reflux or GERD and build a plan that might include lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases minimally invasive procedures like transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) when medicine alone is not enough.

GERD is a condition involving the regurgitation of stomach acid into the esophagus and is often characterized by the symptom of heartburn.

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.

If your child often complains of stomach pain, struggles to gain weight, or seems tired without a clear reason, celiac disease could be a factor. This autoimmune condition can affect children as well as adults and may cause digestive issues, rashes, headaches, or slowed growth even when diet changes do not help.

Celiac disease prevents the body from absorbing nutrients properly, which can affect a child’s growth and energy. The good news is that with early diagnosis and a gluten-free lifestyle, children can live full, healthy lives.

New research from NYU shows promising advances in how doctors may treat digestive pain in the future. Scientists discovered an enzyme in the gut that plays a key role in pain signaling and are developing tiny nanoparticle therapies to target it directly.

This research could pave the way for treatments that work more precisely, helping reduce pain and discomfort without as many side effects. While these therapies are still in early stages, they reflect the exciting progress happening in digestive health research.
