We know the entire experience with gastroenterology and motility conditions is a challenge and talking about things - the bathroom trips, the accidents, the pain that often disrupts your life - can be awkward. So, in addition to offering the latest technology to diagnose and treat your condition, the Neurogastroenterology & Motility Center also provides all patients the support of our broad-based team of healthcare specialists.
From nutritionists who can work with you to devise specific meal plans that avoid foods that irritate your system but pack in necessary vitamins and minerals to physical therapists who can help you train muscles to better move food through your system or prevent accidents – we have the support team you need to live with your medical condition and embrace life again.
Support Options
We offer such support as:
- Nurse navigators. Our nurse navigators streamline your entire experience with us, coordinating your appointments, helping you navigate the healthcare system, providing valuable educational and emotional support, and answering questions.
- Behavioral health resources. Many health conditions can be emotionally and socially distressing, and some gastrointestinal symptoms can be traced to a psychological cause. The behavioral health specialists on our team can help with both scenarios. The goal is to improve your physical symptoms and emotional well-being proactively using cognitive behavioral therapy, clinical hypnosis, relaxation and biofeedback training, acceptance and commitment therapy and/or coping support.
- Nutritionists. Our registered dietitians have a vast knowledge of different digestive health disorders and can work with you to create a personalized eating plan that can keep you healthy but avoid irritation.
