Inflammatory Bowel Disorder Care

Abdominal pain, cramping, fatigue, skin ulcers, constipation, joint pain and unintentional weight loss are some of the signs of an inflammatory bowel disorder. Finding the right care for your inflammatory bowel disorder can be difficult and time consuming. These disorders arise when your immune system has an abnormal response to the gastrointestinal tract, often causing severe inflammation and discomfort.

Gastroenterologists in the Sutter Health network utilize advanced surgical techniques, nutrition counseling, alternative and complementary medicine, psychiatric counseling, interventional endoscopy and motility and neurogastroenterology procedures to get you on the path to better health.

Across our network, affiliates such as the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco have a Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disorders that specializes in managing Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and other lesser known colitis conditions. Affiliate hospitals within our network are ranked by the U.S. News & World Report as some of the highest performing in the nation for gastroenterology services and surgeries.
