Is a gastrologist the same as a gastroenterologist?

A gastrologist and a gastroenterologist are essentially the same, although the term "gastrologist" is not widely recognized in modern medical practice. Gastrology, which focuses on stomach and related issues, is not a distinct branch but rather a historical term. Today, gastroenterologists are the specialists who address gastrointestinal (GI) tract concerns comprehensively, including those related to the stomach. While "gastrologist" may have been used in the past, it has largely been replaced by the term gastroenterologist.

In practical terms, patients with any stomach or GI tract-related problems should seek care from a gastroenterologist.

Common Clinical Conditions Treated by a Gastro Dr.

What conditions can a gastro Dr. like Dr. G. Philip Sayegh treat? You can visit him for any of the following concerns and more:

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome): With this chronic condition, a wide variety of food causes intestinal discomfort, pain, and fatigue. It is characterized by symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both. While the condition is considered chronic, the doctor can help you manage your condition, develop a diet, and reduce the frequency of flare-ups.
Acid reflux: This condition occurs when stomach acid builds up or you have a weak sphincter, creating heartburn and other painful symptoms. A gastroenterologist can help you decide the best course of treatment or symptom management.
Colonoscopy: Colonoscopies are an essential tool for catching colon cancer before it becomes too severe. The advanced technology we use means we detect problems earlier and our patients have less discomfort during the procedure.
Crohn’s disease: A type of IBD that affects any part of the GI tract but most commonly impacts the colon and small intestine. Inflammation can occur in patches and may extend through the entire thickness of the bowel wall. This inflamed bowel condition can lead to fevers, skin rashes, arthritis, and other symptoms that can seriously impede your quality of life. We can help you manage the disease to reduce flare-ups.
Weight loss: Dr. G. Philip Sayegh can help you use the latest weight-loss developments to lose weight without surgical intervention. Several FDA-approved medications are available to help with weight loss. These medications are typically prescribed for individuals with a BMI over 30 or those with a BMI over 27 who also have weight-related conditions like diabetes or hypertension.

When you work with the reliable gastroenterologist at Gastroenterology of Hudson Valley that serves Bronxville, New Rochelle, White Plains, Yonkers, NY, and the surrounding areas, you’re in good hands.

Common Gastroenterology Diagnostic Methods

Procedure/Test	Description	Purpose
Endoscopy	Using a thin, flexible tube with a camera, your doctor can visually examine the lining of your esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).	GERD, ulcers, gastritis, celiac disease - the list of digestive issues this diagnostic tool can help detect goes on and on.
Colonoscopy	Similar to an endoscopy, but focusing on the colon (large intestine).	At some point, our bodies start to slow down, and little issues can become big problems. A colonoscopy is like a preventative maintenance check for your body, identifying polyps, inflammation, or even cancer before they take hold.
Biopsies	During an endoscopy or colonoscopy, if any abnormalities are found, small tissue samples can be collected for examination under a microscope.	In some cases, a biopsy can provide the missing piece of the puzzle, clarifying a diagnosis of celiac disease, for instance, or determining the severity of a polyp.
Capsule Endoscopy	For evaluating the small intestine, this procedure involves swallowing a tiny camera that captures images as they pass through your digestive tract.	This non-invasive method is useful when traditional endoscopy doesn’t reach the entire small bowel.
Imaging Tests	Depending on your symptoms, your doctor might order imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to get a clearer picture of your internal organs.	Two main benefits of these scans: they let your doctor visualize your digestive organs, and they can flag any potential problems that might be flying under the radar.
