A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating
disorders of the digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach,
intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder
You should consider seeing a gastroenterologist if you experience ongoing
abdominal pain, bloating, difficulty swallowing, heartburn, rectal bleeding,
chronic constipation or diarrhea, or unexplained weight loss
Acid reflux is the occasional backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. GERD
is a chronic, more severe form of acid reflux that can lead to complications if
untreated..
For individuals at average risk, a screening colonoscopy is recommended starting
at age 45 and then every 10 years if results are normal. Those with risk factors
or family history may need earlier or more frequent screenings.
Absolutely. Many GI conditions, such as IBS, acid reflux, and fatty liver, can be
significantly improved through dietary changes, stress management, and regular
physical activity often in combination with medical treatment.
