Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a gastroenterologist?
If you experience persistent heartburn, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss, a gastroenterologist can evaluate your symptoms and recommend treatment.
How often should I get a colonoscopy?
For most adults, colonoscopy screenings begin at age 45 and continue every 10 years. Individuals with a family history of colon cancer or digestive disorders may need earlier or more frequent screenings.
What can I do to improve my gut health?
A balanced diet high in fiber, regular exercise, proper hydration, and managing stress can promote good digestive health. Avoiding processed foods and excessive alcohol intake also helps.
What are common symptoms of acid reflux?
Heartburn, regurgitation, chronic cough, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing are common signs of acid reflux or GERD. Lifestyle changes and medications can help manage symptoms.
How is IBS different from other digestive conditions?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder causing abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel habits. Unlike inflammatory conditions like Crohn’s disease, IBS doesn’t cause permanent damage to the digestive tract.
