FAQs

  • 1. What does a gastroenterologist do and when to see a gastroenterologist?
    A gastroenterologist specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. You should consider seeing a gastroenterologist if you have persistent digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, chronic diarrhea, constipation, or rectal bleeding.
  • 2. Why am I experiencing frequent heartburn?
    Frequent heartburn could be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or other conditions that may require evaluation by a gastroenterologist.
  • 3. What are the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?
    Symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation, often fluctuating over time.
  • 4. Why do I have chronic abdominal pain?
    Chronic abdominal pain can have many causes, including IBS, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcers, gallstones, or other gastrointestinal issues.

    Persistent diarrhea can be due to infections, IBS, IBD, celiac disease, or other digestive disorders.
  • 6. What should I expect during my first visit to a gastroenterologist?
    Expect a detailed review of your medical history, discussion of your symptoms, a physical examination, and possibly recommendations for diagnostic tests such as blood tests, stool tests, endoscopy, or imaging studies.
  • 7. What kinds of tests might a gastroenterologist order?
    Common tests include endoscopy, colonoscopy, ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, blood tests, and stool tests.
  • 8. How is a colonoscopy performed?
    A colonoscopy involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera into the rectum to examine the colon. It usually requires bowel preparation and sedation.

    Treatment options can include medications, dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgical interventions depending on the condition.

    Ask about your diagnosis, the recommended tests and treatments, potential side effects, dietary changes, and any lifestyle modifications that may help manage your condition.
  • 14. What should I bring to my endoscopy or colonoscopy appointment?
    Follow any pre-procedure instructions, such as fasting or bowel preparation, and bring a list of medications and any questions you have about the procedure.
  • 15. What is the recovery process like after a colonoscopy?
    Recovery is usually quick, but you may feel bloated or have cramping. It’s important to follow any post-procedure instructions and arrange for someone to drive you home due to sedation.
  • 16. How often will I need follow-up visits with my gastroenterologist?
    Follow-up frequency depends on your condition and treatment plan. Chronic conditions like IBD may require regular monitoring, while others may need less frequent visits.
  • 17. What lifestyle changes can help manage my digestive condition?

  • 19. How are gallstones treated?
    Gallstones can be treated with medications to dissolve them, but often require surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).
  • 20. What should I expect during an upper GI endoscopy?
    An upper GI endoscopy involves inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera down your throat to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine. The procedure usually takes about 15-30 minutes. You will be given a sedative to help you relax, and your throat may be numbed with a local anesthetic.
  • 21. How do I prepare for an ERCP procedure?
    For an ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), you will need to fast for about 6-8 hours before the procedure to ensure an empty stomach. You should inform your doctor of any medications you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted. Additionally, you will be given specific instructions regarding the use of blood thinners or other medications before the procedure.
