Conditions we treat:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): This is a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Treatment options include medications that reduce acid production, lifestyle modifications, and in severe cases, surgery. 
• Peptic ulcer disease: This is a condition in which open sores develop on the lining of the stomach, esophagus or small intestine. The most common cause is infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Treatment options include antibiotics, medications that reduce acid production, and in some cases, surgery.
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): This is a group of chronic conditions that cause inflammation in the digestive tract. The two most common types are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and weight loss. Treatment options include medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, as well as surgery in some cases.
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): This is a common condition that affects the large intestine, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Treatment options include lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and stress reduction techniques, as well as medications to manage symptoms.
• Pancreatitis: This is inflammation of the pancreas, which can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The most common causes are gallstones and excessive alcohol consumption. Treatment options include pain management, dietary changes, and in severe cases, hospitalization and intravenous fluids.
• Chronic liver disease: This is a long-term condition that can be caused by a variety of factors, including viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle modifications, medications, and in severe cases, liver transplantation.
• Viral hepatitis: This is a viral infection that can cause inflammation in the liver. The most common types are hepatitis A, B, and C. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain. Treatment options depend on the type of hepatitis and may include antiviral medications.
• Liver cancer: This is cancer that begins in the cells of the liver. Risk factors include chronic liver disease, hepatitis B and C infection, and excessive alcohol consumption. Treatment options depend on the stage and location of the cancer and may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
• Biliary tract disease: This is a condition that affects the bile ducts, which are tubes that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. The most common types include gallstones and biliary atresia. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, jaundice, and nausea. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include medications, surgery, or other interventions.
• Malabsorption syndromes: These are a group of conditions that affect the body's ability to absorb nutrients from food. The most common types include celiac disease and lactose intolerance. Symptoms may include diarrhoea, weight loss, and fatigue. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include dietary changes and medications.
• Blood in Stool: This is a symptom that can be caused by a variety of conditions, including haemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, or infection. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include medication, dietary changes, or surgery.
• Black colored stool: This is a symptom that can be caused by bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as from a peptic ulcer or esophageal varices.
