FAQs about gastrointestinal conditions

Find answers to common questions about gastrointestinal diseases, symptoms and when to seek specialist care.

What are common gastrointestinal symptoms?

Common symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms may also include diarrhoea, constipation or changes in stool. Some people feel fullness or discomfort after eating, even when the stomach is empty, while others experience acid reflux or heartburn.

When should I see a gastroenterologist?

You should see a gastroenterologist if symptoms persist or worsen. This includes pain in the upper abdomen, difficulty swallowing, ongoing reflux or changes in bowel habits. Early assessment helps identify the cause and prevent complications from untreated gastrointestinal conditions.

Are gastrointestinal conditions common?

Yes. Digestive and liver conditions are very common and can affect people of all ages. Many symptoms are manageable with early diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care.

What conditions affect the digestive system?

Gastrointestinal diseases include IBS, diverticular disease and gallbladder conditions. These affect how the body digests food and may involve inflammation, nerve sensitivity or changes in how food moves through the digestive tract.

How are gastrointestinal conditions diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves reviewing your symptoms, medical history and test results. Healthcare providers assess how symptoms present, including severity and duration, to identify conditions affecting the digestive system and guide treatment.

What should I expect during my first appointment?

Your specialist will discuss your symptoms, medical history and concerns, and may recommend testing or procedures if needed. The goal is to provide clear answers and a personalised plan for your care.
