a personalized treatment.

Is your life centered around your gut?

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis can affect much more than the digestive system. When symptoms persist or appear in flare-ups, It is common for the person to start organizing their life around the bathroom., Food and uncertainty about how your body will respond.

When this happens for months or years, the disease not only causes symptoms: it also reduces freedom, security, and confidence in one's own body. 

Gradually, some people start to reject invitations, avoid travel, stay away from friends or family, and stay home to feel safe.

Urgency, diarrhea and fear of not arriving on time

The sudden need to go to the bathroom can make every trip start with the same question: “Will there be a bathroom nearby?”.

Shame ends up limiting their social life

Having to get up several times to go to the bathroom, constantly having to explain what is happening, experiencing gas, intestinal noises, or fearing an unexpected episode can generate a lot of embarrassment.

Eating stops being something simple

Many people start to constantly think about what they can eat, how much, at what time, and what might happen next.

Pain, fatigue and unpredictable days

Unpredictability makes it difficult to organize, work, commit to plans, or even know how much energy you will have the next day.

His illness has a name, but its history is unique.

That's why we don't treat a diagnosis. We treat the person behind it.

What is happening now

Pain, diarrhea, urgency, fatigue, weight loss, food tolerance, blood tests, and how the disease is affecting your daily life.

How it got here

Evolution of the disease, previous outbreaks, treatments received, response to each one and changes that have occurred over time.

How is my treatment different?

Currently, conventional treatment for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis does not treat or modify the cause of the disease.

To design a truly personalized plan, it is not enough to know that you have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You must know the possible molecular mechanisms that cause the disease, in other words, We need to understand and act on the cause of the disease.

Frequently asked questions

Does this treatment replace the one my specialist has recommended to me?
No. The proposal is based on respecting the advice of your specialist doctor and the treatments that you have already been prescribed. The goal is to study your case more thoroughly and assess which additional interventions may be consistent with your clinical situation.
Can I request a valuation if I am taking a biological treatment or other medication?
Yes, you can request a first consultation. The compatibility of any intervention must be evaluated individually and taking into account all your current treatment. You should not stop or change the prescribed medication without medical advice.
What exactly is the treatment?
There is no single protocol for all patients. First, their medical history, tests, progress, and current treatments are studied. If they are a candidate, Dr. Gregorio develops an individualized medical plan and explains in the consultation what interventions he considers appropriate and why.
What happens if Dr. Gregorio considers that he cannot help me?
It will be explained to you in a transparent way. The first consultation also serves to determine whether this approach makes sense in your case. If you are not a candidate, you will not be asked to continue with a treatment that is not considered appropriate.
How long does the process take?
It depends on the starting point, the complexity of the case and the evolution. After the first consultation, the proposed plan, its estimated duration and the follow-up procedure will be explained to you, if necessary.
Can I complete the process if I live on the Peninsula?
Yes. The initial assessment and follow-up can be carried out online when the clinical situation allows it. The face-to-face consultation takes place in Lanzarote.
What documentation should I provide?
Medical reports, colonoscopy results, endoscopic examinations, pathological anatomy if available, imaging tests, recent laboratory tests, admission or surgical reports, and an updated list of medications and supplements you take.
Can it be guaranteed that all symptoms will disappear?
In medicine, no specific result can be promised, because each person responds differently. But when Dr. Gregorio accepts a case, the goal is to achieve the greatest possible remission. In the vast majority of patients, the symptoms have completely disappeared and they have been able to return to a normal life.

That does not mean the disease is “cured.” Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis are chronic diseases, but they can enter a remission phase, that is, a period in which the symptoms disappear or are greatly reduced and the person regains their quality of life.

Take the first step to regain greater freedom in your daily life

If Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis continue to affect your life, the initial consultation allows you to review your medical history, review available documentation, and assess whether a personalized approach could be helpful.
