Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and related organs, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
You should see a gastroenterologist if you experience ongoing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, blood in your stool, unexplained weight loss, or changes in bowel habits.
Common conditions include acid reflux (GERD), peptic ulcers, IBS, IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), celiac disease, gallstones, pancreatitis, hepatitis, and gastroparesis.
This depends on your insurance. Some plans require a referral from your primary care provider; others allow you to book directly.
The doctor will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, possibly order lab work or imaging, and recommend a treatment or testing plan.
