Inflammatory diarrhea is a condition where the lining of the gastrointestinal tract becomes inflamed, often due to infections, autoimmune disorders, or chronic gastrointestinal diseases. This type of diarrhea can be severe and is often accompanied by symptoms such as blood in the stool, fever, and abdominal pain.
At Patients Medical in New York City, we provide an integrative approach to managing inflammatory diarrhea that goes beyond treating just the symptoms. We address the underlying causes of digestive inflammation and support gut health through a combination of conventional medicine and holistic therapies. Our goal is to relieve your symptoms, restore gut function, and prevent future flare-ups with natural, sustainable solutions.
