Gut health

We discuss recurring bowel symptoms and plan appropriate further assessment.

What to expect

We record your symptoms, their course and possible links with diet and everyday life, then discuss which further assessment is useful.

Understanding your symptoms

Abdominal pain, bloating and changes in bowel habits can have different causes. Their duration, course and associated symptoms matter, as do possible links with meals, medication or previous conditions.

Finding the right assessment step by step

After examining you, we discuss whether laboratory tests, ultrasound or specialist assessment would be useful. Not every bowel or microbiome test package helps answer every question. Blood in the stool, persistent symptoms or unintentional weight loss need prompt medical assessment.

Before your appointment

Please bring existing medical reports and an up-to-date medication list. We discuss any special preparation, the exact scope and possible costs when arranging your appointment.
