How can ileitis be diagnosed?
Determining the cause of ileitis is vital to efficiently manage this gastrointestinal condition as well as to the treatment plan selected by your gastrointestinal provider. Your specialist will review your medical background and perform a thorough physical examination. A set of assessments could be ordered as well, to verify the diagnosis which might incorporate stool analysis, X-rays, barium X-rays of the small intestine, CT scan, colonoscopy (narrow lighted tube is inserted into the anus for a close examination), and biopsy.
Should you feel that ileitis could be causing you pain, contact GastroArkansas to schedule a consultation with a gastroenterology provider who can provide you with a proper plan for treatment.
How is ileitis treated?
Depending upon the results of the diagnostic tests, ileitis may be treated through medications including antibiotics, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories, antidiarrheal and immune-suppressing medications, as well as supplements to decrease swelling and manage associated symptoms. Surgical intervention will be considered if symptoms are not controlled by medications or in the event that complications develop. A surgical procedure may be employed to excise a diseased section, and remedy blockages, intestinal bleeding, and perforations in the intestine.

He was amazing! It took a long minute to get an appointment, but he is worth it!
Dr. Matt Taylor has been very kind and caring and has done his best to help me to resolve my problem with any ongoing case of diarrhea. Currently we are trying some new medication to see if it will stop it and it seems to be working. I am very grateful. I do need to let Dr. Matt know that stopping one of the Nexium capsules and only taking one instead of two and trying to use the Tums in its place at night is not working for me. I am having a great deal of discomfort and sleeplessness at night due to it. They diarrhea has stopped. I feel that I needed to go back on my Nexium two capsules a day. I wanted to tell you first.
Dr. Davis answered all of my questions (clearly and in depth). I felt great about all of the information he gave me.
Very informative and a pleasant experience
