What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions of the digestive system. This includes the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists manage a wide range of symptoms and disorders—from indigestion and acid reflux to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and liver problems.

At Get Well Soon, we provide fast access to expert gastroenterologists for consultations, investigations, and treatment—without long waiting times.

Common conditions treated by gastroenterologists

You may need to see a gastroenterologist if you’re experiencing:

Ongoing indigestion, bloating, or acid reflux
Persistent abdominal pain or cramping
Changes in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhoea)
Rectal bleeding or blood in your stools
Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
Difficulty swallowing or a lump-in-the-throat sensation
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
Chronic nausea, vomiting, or appetite loss
Liver problems, abnormal liver function tests, or suspected fatty liver disease
Known conditions such as IBS, IBD (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis), or coeliac disease

Getting a diagnosis early can help relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve your quality of life.

How are digestive conditions diagnosed?

Your gastroenterologist will begin with a thorough consultation and medical history. They may recommend one or more of the following tests:

Endoscopy or gastroscopy

A camera test to look inside your oesophagus, stomach, and upper digestive tract

Colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy

To examine the lower bowel and check for inflammation, polyps, or cancer

Abdominal ultrasound

To investigate the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas

CT or MRI scan

To detect inflammation, tumours, or bile duct blockages

Blood and stool tests

To check for inflammation, liver function, infections, or gluten sensitivity

Breath tests

To diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or lactose intolerance

Your specialist will explain the results clearly and help you understand your options.
