Seven Signs That You Should See a Gastroenterologist
While not every symptom will point to the need to see our gastroenterologist, many of these are good indicators that it would benefit you to do so. Issues like ongoing diarrhea or constipation, frequent and/or severe heartburn, feeling unusually bloated, experiencing sudden or severe abdominal pain, rectal bleeding or having blood in your stool, and even when you are due for a colonoscopy.
When you first visit us, we will be asking many questions surrounding your digestive history and symptoms, as well as your general medical history. We want to work with the easy options first, so we may offer you suggestions to try, along with your diet or other lifestyle changes that may make a difference. We may also want to do a few tests that will complement your medical and dietary histories.
