When to seek services ... who benefits
Digestive Disease Clinic can treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal problems.
When we think of a gastroenterologist, we often think of stomach or gallbladder problems. While gastroenterologists, such as Dr. Gupta, can certainly treat these sorts of problems, their expertise extends to the entire digestive system, a complex network of related organ systems. Here, then, is a brief overview of situations in which it is appropriate to seek the services of a gastroenterologist.
Stomach problems - may include unexplained pain in the abdomen (belly), bloating, nausea, vomiting, spitting up blood, loss of appetite, not being able to eat like before, weight loss, black or dark stool.
Intestinal problems - may include diarrhea, constipation, blood in the stool, or change in stool shape.
Pancreatic disease - may include pancreatitis, weight loss, abdominal pain, family history of gastrointestinal cancer.
Liver problems - may include jaundice, hepatitis, and abnormal liver lab tests.
Gallbladder problems - may include abdominal pain before or after the gallbladder is removed.
Anal or rectal problems - may include anal or rectal pain, lumps.
Esophageal problems - These swallowing problems may include chest pain, heart burn, bad breath, sour or bitter taste in the throat, or unexplained asthma.
Additionally, Dr. Gupta can generally help adults with fatigue, weight loss, general poor health, in combination with the above symptoms.
