The gastrointestinal tract (also known as your GI tract) includes the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines and rectum. It also includes organs that assist in digestion - the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. While most people have experienced some form of GI discomfort in their lives, Carle Digestive Health experts can help you determine when random discomfort becomes a cause for concern.
Dr. Eugene Greenberg Digestive Health Institute provides a comprehensive approach to each patient through screenings, medical and surgical therapies, as well as nutritional, social, and other support services.

Diagnostic Procedures
At Greenberg Digestive Health Institute, we provide a wide variety of procedures and techniques to help diagnose digestive health conditions using esophageal manometry and impedence, video capsule endoscopy, double balloon enteroscopy, and even fecal transplants when needed.
Surgery
The surgeons and support team at Carle use many surgical services to care for the whole patient. Advancements in technology led to the development of minimally invasive techniques. In addition to the traditional gastrointestinal (GI) operations, our skilled colorectal surgeons are experienced in performing a wide range of robotic and laparoscopic surgeries.
Digestive Health Support Groups
From support groups to additional team members – including physical therapists, registered dieticians, social workers and more – our patients are never alone. Our collective knowledge and teamwork is a great resource for patients throughout the treatment and/or recovery process.
Facilitated by Digestive Health staff and practitioners, we offer monthly ostomy and inflammatory bowel disease support groups for patients and family members to learn more about these conditions and connect with people in similar situations. Both groups are free and open to all patients, regardless of where you receive treatment.
