FAQ’s

Gastrology, also known as Gastroenterology, is the branch of medicine that focuses on the digestive system and its disorders. Gastrologists diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and more.

Gastrologists treat a wide range of conditions including acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, gastritis, liver diseases, pancreatic disorders, and more.

If you experience persistent symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, or changes in bowel habits, it's a good idea to consult a gastrologist. They can provide proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.

Maintaining a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, managing stress, and avoiding excessive consumption of alcohol and fatty foods can contribute to good digestive health.

An endoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the digestive tract to examine the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It helps diagnose conditions and can also be used for treatment.

Yes, stress can affect digestive health. Chronic stress may worsen symptoms of conditions like IBS or lead to inflammation in the gut. Techniques like meditation, yoga, and deep breathing can help manage stress and benefit digestion.

Colonoscopy is recommended for individuals at risk of colorectal cancer or those over a certain age. It's an effective way to detect and prevent colon-related issues early on.

Avoiding trigger foods (like spicy, acidic, or fatty foods), eating smaller meals, not lying down immediately after eating, and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent acid reflux.

In many cases, lifestyle changes can significantly improve symptoms. However, some conditions may require medications or other medical interventions. Consult a gastrologist for personalized recommendations.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can support digestive health. They may help with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and certain gut imbalances. Consult a gastrologist before adding probiotics to your routine.

Gastrologists can conduct tests to determine food allergies or intolerances. These may include blood tests, elimination diets, and specialized diagnostic procedures to pinpoint the cause of adverse reactions to certain foods.

Gastrology focuses on the medical treatment of digestive disorders, while nutrition involves the study of dietary choices and their impact on overall health. Gastrologists often work closely with registered dietitians to provide comprehensive care.

Smoking increases the risk of developing various digestive disorders, including peptic ulcers, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), and certain cancers of the digestive tract. Quitting smoking can significantly improve overall health.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers can affect various parts of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, and rectum. Early detection through screenings and awareness of risk factors is crucial for effective treatment.
