Gastroenterology
Diagnosis and treatment of the digestive system — oesophagus, stomach, intestines and bowel.
Most digestive trouble is dismissed long before it is examined. Heartburn becomes something you keep tablets for. A stomach that reacts badly to half the week's meals becomes "just my system". Gastroenterology is the work of taking those symptoms seriously — finding out what is actually happening in the gut, and treating the cause rather than muting the signal.
At PAL MED, that begins with an unhurried consultation. Your history, your meals, your routine and your medication are all part of the picture, and consultation, endoscopy, pharmacy and diagnostic blood testing sit under one roof — so the assessment does not stall while you travel between places.
What this covers
-
Acid reflux & GERD
Persistent heartburn, acid coming back up, chest burning after meals or at night, and the throat and sleep problems that follow when reflux goes on untreated.
-
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Cramping, bloating, and bowel habits that swing between constipation and urgency. Managed with a plan built around your own triggers, meals and stress load.
-
Inflammatory bowel disease
Long-term inflammatory conditions of the bowel that need accurate diagnosis, ongoing treatment and regular review rather than one-off prescriptions.
-
Gastritis
Inflammation of the stomach lining — upper abdominal pain, nausea, early fullness — including the cases driven by infection, medication or diet.
-
Digestive disorders
Indigestion, bloating, constipation, loose motion, appetite and weight changes, and abdominal pain that has not been explained yet.
-
Worth booking sooner
Difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, unexplained weight loss, or a change in bowel habit that lasts more than a few weeks.
