FAQ's Related to Gastroenterologist

What does a Gastroenterologist do?

It is a Gastroenterologist who helps you get treated for the health conditions you suffer from related to the digestive system. The initial treatment phase with your doctor involves getting your medical history right, ensuring the reports are in order and recommending the required tests. The work of a Gastroenterologist is also to help a patient manage his/her health condition of the digestive tract and digestive system, whether it is via medications and/or diet and other lifestyle changes. A Gastroenterologist must have the knowledge of various factors such as:

  1. Gastrointestinal organs
  2. Movement of matter via intestines and stomach
  3. Digestion, absorption of nutrients
  4. Removal of body waste
  5. Liver system
What are the tests required before and during consultation for a Gastroenterologist?

A consultation with a Gastroenterologist comes with the requirement of some tests to be performed either before or during the process and they are listed below:

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
  • Gastroscopy
  • pH Monitoring
  • Upper GI Series (barium swallow or barium meal)
  • Esophageal/Gastric Manometry
