Many people will suffer from stomach pain at some point in their life. Stomach pain can be caused by a variety of conditions such as ulcers, gastritis, bacterial infection with Helicobacter pylori, obstruction, delayed emptying and others. South Denver GI providers are leading experts in all stomach-related conditions. You can trust us to provide clinically advanced, comprehensive care to diagnose and treat any stomach problem you may be experiencing. Your treatment may involve laboratory or radiology testing, imaging or evaluation of your upper GI tract with endoscopy.
Gastric Emptying Study
When the stomach cannot fully empty itself of food, problems with digestion may occur. Your gastroenterologist may recommend a gastric emptying study to measure the time that it takes for food to empty out of your stomach and recommend treatment options.
Learn MoreGastritis
Inflammation of the lining of the stomach causes gastritis. It may occur suddenly or progress slowly over time. Gastritis can improve quickly with early diagnosis and treatment.
Learn MoreGastroparesis (motility disorder)
Gastroparesis is a condition in which the stomach cannot fully empty itself of food. The condition can be a complication of diabetes, surgery or certain medications. There are several treatment options available to relieve gastroparesis symptoms.
Learn MoreHelicobacter Pylori
This common bacterial infection attacks the lining of the stomach, potentially resulting in ulcers. Antibiotics are typically prescribed to treat H. pylori and there are ways to prevent acquiring this infection.

Also known as dysmotility, these disorders cause the muscles of the digestive system to not work properly. A common symptom is trouble swallowing. Your South Denver GI provider will have you undergo several tests to diagnose a motility disorder, before prescribing a personalized treatment plan.
