Treatments
Treatments for Recurrent Abdominal Pain
Using a team approach, we deliver seamless care to help you get relief:
- Experts from the Digestive Health Center deliver personalized treatment for recurrent abdominal pain.
- Working closely with renowned specialists from the Autonomic Disorders Program, we address the physical and possible neurologic causes of your condition.
Your treatment may include:
- Relaxation techniques: Special techniques including breathing exercises that you can perform on your own at home to help your abdominal muscles relax
- Behavioral therapies: Cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychotherapy can help reduce your anxiety, so you can focus on other things besides your pain.
- Medical nutrition therapy: Working with experts from GI Nutrition Services who specialize in gastrointestinal disorders, we help you find foods that are less likely to upset your stomach.
- Medication: Avoiding medicines that can upset your stomach, including aspirin and ibuprofen, may help you feel better. You may also need medication to help relieve your symptoms, including antidepressants for anxiety.
- Pain management: Offering innovative approaches, experts at our GI Pain Clinic address the source of your pain. Your treatment may include medications, stress management or alternative therapies, such as acupuncture.
