Is There a Gastroenterologist for Chronic Gas Treatment?

Dear Sopan Maruti Kalhale ji,

Yes. For a gas problem that has been continuing for more than 5 years, consulting a gastroenterologist is advisable rather than continuing self-medication. HexaHealth has gastroenterology specialists who evaluate long-standing digestive problems such as gas, bloating, acidity, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, GERD and other gastrointestinal conditions.

Gas for many years can have different causes, including

• Chronic acidity or GERD

• Gastritis or stomach ulcer

• Constipation

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Food intolerance

• Indigestion

• H. pylori infection

• Gallbladder or pancreatic problems

• Certain medicines or dietary habits

A gastroenterologist can review your symptoms, medical history and previous reports and decide whether investigations such as blood tests, ultrasound, endoscopy or other tests are actually required.
