感染率較高： B型肝炎在亞洲許多地區的盛行率長期以來都較高。在這些地區尚未普及嬰兒B型肝炎疫苗接種之前，病毒經常在生產過程中由母親傳給嬰兒，或於幼兒時期感染。在美國的亞裔及太平洋島民移民及其子女中，高達15%患有慢性B型肝炎。
可能沒有症狀： 許多慢性B型肝炎患者多年來可能完全沒有症狀，因此B型肝炎也常被稱為「無聲的感染」。
為什麼這很重要： 如果沒有適當的定期追蹤與醫療照護，慢性B型肝炎可能導致肝硬化、肝衰竭及肝癌。
及早篩檢與照護： 簡單的血液檢查就能了解您的B型肝炎感染狀況。如果確認感染，接受適當的醫療照護並定期追蹤，有助於保護肝臟健康。家人及同住者也可以接受B型肝炎檢測，並在需要時接種疫苗。

Why Hepatitis B testing is especially important for Asian immigrants
Higher rates: Hepatitis B has historically been more common in many parts of Asia. Before widespread infant vaccination was implemented across these regions, the virus was often transmitted from mother to baby at birth or during early childhood. Up to 15% of Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants and their children living in the U.S. are chronically infected with Hepatitis B.
No symptoms: Many people with chronic Hepatitis B have no symptoms for years, which is why it’s often called a “silent infection.”
Why it matters: Without proper monitoring and care, chronic Hepatitis B can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.
Early testing & care: A simple blood test can determine your Hepatitis B status. If an infection is found, medical care and regular monitoring can help protect your liver. Family and household members can also be tested and vaccinated if needed.

益生菌不是診斷。🦠
在某些情況下，益生菌可能有所幫助，但它並不是解決所有腸胃症狀的萬用方法。
腹脹、腹痛、便祕、腹瀉以及其他腸胃不適，都可能有不同的原因——因此，真正適合你的治療方式，取決於究竟是什麼原因造成你的症狀。
所以，在問：
「我應該吃哪一種益生菌？」
之前，不妨先問：
「我為什麼會出現這些症狀？」
這正是腸胃科醫師能發揮專業的地方。🩺
與其猜測你的腸胃需要什麼，腸胃科醫師會根據你的症狀進行專業評估、找出可能的根本原因，並為你制定合適的診斷與治療方案。
因為改善腸道健康，不只是補充更多的「好菌」。
真正的第一步，是了解你的腸胃究竟需要什麼。

Taking probiotics every day to “heal your gut”…
but your symptoms aren’t getting better?
Here’s the missing piece of the puzzle ↓

Probiotics aren’t a diagnosis. 🦠
Probiotics may be helpful in certain situations, but they aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution for digestive symptoms.
Bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and other GI symptoms can have many different causes — which means the right treatment depends on what’s actually causing your symptoms.
So before asking:
“Which probiotic should I take?”
Consider asking:
“Why am I having these symptoms in the first place?”
That’s where a gastroenterologist comes in. Rather than guessing what your gut needs, a gastroenterologist evaluates your symptoms, identifies underlying causes, and recommends an appropriate treatment plan.
Because improving your gut health isn’t just about adding more “good bacteria.”
It starts with understanding what your gut actually needs. 🩺

☕️ 每天一杯咖啡，可能也是在保護你的肝臟！

近年多項大型研究發現，經常喝咖啡的人，罹患脂肪肝、肝硬化、肝癌及肝病死亡的風險都較低。最有趣的是，一般咖啡、低咖啡因，甚至無咖啡因咖啡，都有類似的保護效果。

真正有幫助的，可能不是咖啡因，而是咖啡中的天然抗氧化成分，例如多酚與綠原酸，可幫助降低發炎、減少肝臟纖維化。

✅ 建議選擇黑咖啡、少糖或無糖，才能發揮最大的健康效益。

不過要提醒大家，咖啡是加分，不是治療。 維持理想體重、規律運動、控制血糖血脂、避免過量飲酒，仍然是護肝最重要的關鍵。

☕ 今天，你喝咖啡了嗎？

☕️ A daily cup of coffee might just be protecting your liver!

Recent large-scale studies have found that regular coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing fatty liver, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, as well as a lower risk of death from liver disease. Interestingly, regular, decaffeinated, and even caffeine-free coffees all offer similar protective benefits.

It may not be the caffeine that helps, but rather the natural antioxidants found in coffee—such as polyphenols and chlorogenic acid—which can help reduce inflammation and liver fibrosis.

✅ For maximum health benefits, opt for black coffee with little to no sugar.

However, keep in mind that coffee is a beneficial addition, not a cure-all treatment. Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, managing blood sugar and lipid levels, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption remain the most critical factors for liver health.

☕ Have you had your coffee today?

💚 August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Living with gastroparesis can mean much more than an upset stomach. This chronic digestive condition slows the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine, causing symptoms that may significantly affect everyday life.

Common symptoms may include:
• Persistent nausea or vomiting
• Feeling full after only a few bites
• Bloating and abdominal discomfort
• Poor appetite and unintended weight loss
• Difficulty managing blood sugar, especially for people with diabetes

Ongoing digestive symptoms should not be ignored. Early evaluation and a personalized treatment plan may help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Our experienced gastroenterology team provides compassionate, patient-centered care to help diagnose and manage gastroparesis.

📍 Proudly serving Katy, Houston, and surrounding communities.
