How can ileitis be diagnosed?
Identifying the cause of ileitis is an essential step your provider will take when creating an effective treatment plan. Your provider will assess your medical background and conduct an extensive physical exam. A set of tests may be ordered as well to verify the diagnosis which could include stool analysis, X-rays, barium X-rays of the small intestine, CT scan, colonoscopy, or a biopsy.
If you feel that ileitis could be the cause of your symptoms, contact an Adult Gastroenterology Associates location to consult with a GI provider who can create a specialized treatment plan for you.
What is the treatment for ileitis?
Based on the results of the diagnostic exams, ileitis could be treated through medications like anti-inflammatories, antidiarrheal and/or immunosuppressant medications, and dietary supplements to aid in the reduction of inflammation and control symptoms. If symptoms cannot be controlled by medications or you are experiencing complications, surgery may be recommended. Surgery could be performed to remove any diseased area and correct perforations or blockages of the intestine. You will need to avoid smoking and incorporate regular exercise and healthy foods into your lifestyle.

Everybody is very nice and everybody is very experienced and knowledgeable
They listen you feel like they care
Dr Blonsky and the Staff at AGA are by far the best of the best for addressing all of your Gastro needs. They are competent, confident, and compassionate. Being teamed up with Tulsa endoscopy you couldn’t be in better hands. I’ve had gastric problems for over 20 years and Dr Blonsky was my Dr for a short time and because of an insurance change I lost him as my specialist. I was not only devastated but received inadequate care elsewhere. Trust me because I have been through multiple procedures and have a very complex gastrointestinal history so I do know most all of the specialists in Tulsa and I can say with confidence all the best work at AGA. If you have experienced an issue in the past or in the future with them address it with them. Most times it’s just a miscommunication and I know they will do everything to rectify whatever the issue is.
Dr McNamara was very professional and knowledgeable. He seemed concerned and confident to find any issues to provide the best solution for me to regain a healthy lifestyle.
Professional, caring, personable, thorough, cutting edge knowledgeable, all describe Dr. Conkling. So happy I found him several years ago and his staff at AGA, Tulsa, OK!
