Gastroenterology deals with the digestive system: the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Endoscopy is a large part of both diagnosis and treatment.
Conditions we manage
- Acid reflux and heartburn
- Stomach and duodenal ulcers
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Coeliac disease and other causes of malabsorption
- Hepatitis, fatty liver and cirrhosis
- Difficulty swallowing
- Long-standing diarrhoea or constipation
Warning symptoms
Vomiting blood, black tarry stools, difficulty swallowing that is getting worse, or unexplained weight loss need prompt assessment rather than a routine appointment.
