A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive organs. The digestive organs include the digestive tract organs oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine as well as the related organs the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
Most medical specialists will accept only referred patients. This is partly to try to ensure that the specialist you are seeing is appropriate for you and your condition, and also because Medicare pays higher rebates for specialist services if you have been referred.
Problems associated with the following areas are normally evaluated by a gastroenterologist: Abdominal pain Persistent nausea and vomiting Diarrhoea Constipation Rectal bleeding Heartburn Swallowing trouble Weight loss Jaundice.
