About Gastroenterologist Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Gastroenterologist

GERD (Acid Reflux)

Chronic backflow of stomach acid into the oesophagus, causing heartburn and chest pain.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Functional disorder causing abdominal pain with altered bowel habits. No structural damage but significant discomfort.

Peptic Ulcer Disease

Sores in the stomach or duodenum lining, often caused by H. pylori bacteria or painkillers (NSAIDs).

Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Fat accumulation in liver cells, increasingly common in urban India due to diet and sedentary lifestyle.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Chronic inflammation of the digestive tract — includes Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis.

Gallstones

Hard deposits in the gallbladder causing pain, especially after fatty meals. Very common in North India.

Digestive Health Tips

Eat smaller, more frequent meals instead of 2-3 large ones
Don't lie down within 2 hours of eating
Increase fibre intake gradually
Stay hydrated — 2-3 litres of water daily
Limit alcohol and avoid binge drinking
Don't ignore persistent digestive symptoms

How to Prepare for Your Gastroenterologist Visit

Before Your Visit

Keep a food diary for 1-2 weeks noting what you eat and symptoms that follow
Bring all recent blood reports, ultrasound reports, and previous endoscopy reports
List all medications including antacids, painkillers, and supplements
Note stool patterns — frequency, consistency, colour, and any blood

During the Appointment

Describe symptoms precisely — location, timing, relation to meals, what helps
Mention alcohol consumption honestly — it directly affects liver health
Ask about dietary modifications specific to your condition
Discuss if you need any procedures and what preparation they require

After the Visit

Follow dietary advice strictly for at least 4-6 weeks before judging results
Complete full course of antibiotics if prescribed for H. pylori
Schedule follow-up tests as recommended
Avoid self-medicating with antacids long-term — they can mask serious conditions

Questions to Ask Your Gastroenterologist

1.Do I need an endoscopy or colonoscopy?
2.Is my liver condition reversible?
3.What dietary changes will help my condition?
4.How long do I need to take this medication?
5.Should I be screened for colon cancer?
6.Is my condition related to stress?

When Should You See a Gastroenterologist?

A Gastroenterologist specializes in disorders of the digestive system — oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. See one when digestive symptoms persist despite GP treatment.

Persistent acidity or heartburn not relieved by antacids
Difficulty swallowing food or sensation of food getting stuck
Blood in stool or black-coloured stools
Chronic diarrhoea or constipation lasting more than 4 weeks
Unexplained abdominal pain lasting more than 2 weeks
Jaundice — yellow eyes/skin
Abnormal liver function tests
Unexplained weight loss with digestive symptoms
Family history of colon cancer — screening needed

Seek emergency care for vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain with fever, or complete inability to pass stool or gas.
