"When should I see a gastroenterologist?”

It’s one of the most common questions we hear - and an important one.

Many people live with digestive symptoms for far longer than they need to, assuming they’re normal or something they just have to manage.

Ongoing bloating, pain, reflux, changes in bowel habits, fatigue, or discomfort that interferes with daily life are signs worth paying attention to.

Early assessment can help identify the cause of symptoms, provide clarity, and guide appropriate treatment — rather than relying on guesswork or quick fixes.

If you’re unsure whether it’s time to see a specialist, having a conversation can be a helpful first step.
Understanding what’s happening is often the key to feeling better.

Digestive symptoms can be influenced by a range of factors - including diet, stress, and lifestyle. While these elements may affect how symptoms present or fluctuate, their impact can differ from person to person.

Understanding how everyday factors interact with digestive health is an important part of managing symptoms. However, ongoing or disruptive symptoms shouldn’t be ignored, as they may indicate an underlying condition that requires assessment.

At Centre for Digestive Diseases, we take a comprehensive approach to digestive care, combining clinical expertise with individualised assessment to help identify contributing factors and guide appropriate treatment.

If digestive symptoms are affecting your daily life, a specialist review can help provide clarity and direction 💙

Supporting someone with a digestive condition 💙

Digestive conditions can be unpredictable, and understanding from those around us can make a meaningful difference. Support doesn’t need to be complex - often, it’s about flexibility, patience, and open communication.

Ways to offer support include:

• Being understanding when plans need to change
• Creating a safe, judgement-free space to talk about symptoms
• Offering practical support, such as flexibility around meals or work commitments

Thoughtful, everyday understanding can go a long way in supporting someone’s wellbeing.

Digestive health starts with simple, everyday habits.

Balanced meals, staying hydrated and being mindful of foods that trigger symptoms can help support gut health over time. If digestive symptoms are ongoing or affecting your quality of life, it’s important to speak with your GP or specialist for personalised advice.

Digestive conditions are rarely caused by just one factor.

They’re often the result of multiple influences working together - which is why symptoms, triggers, and treatment paths can look very different from person to person.

Understanding the why behind digestive disease is a critical step toward accurate diagnosis, effective management, and better long-term outcomes.
Because real answers start with looking deeper, not making assumptions.

24/01/2026

Some digestive symptoms are easy to dismiss, but others warrant attention.

Blood in the stool, ongoing bloating, unexplained weight loss, or persistent abdominal pain can all signal underlying conditions that benefit from early investigation.

If something does not feel right, do not wait for it to worsen.

Our gastroenterologists at the Centre for Digestive Diseases are here to support you with clear answers and personalised care.

Your gut health matters. 💙

Did you know?

More than 90 percent of bowel cancers can be successfully treated when detected early through screening.

Bowel cancer often begins as small polyps that show no symptoms at all, which is why early detection is one of the most effective ways to protect your long term health.

At the Centre for Digestive Diseases (CDD), we focus on diagnosing and treating digestive conditions, including bowel cancer. Our team provides comprehensive screening options, from FOBT testing (recommended for Australians 45+) to colonoscopy, allowing us to identify and remove polyps before they have the chance to develop into cancer.

If symptoms such as blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, or persistent abdominal pain do appear, it is important to seek prompt follow up with your GP or a specialist. But you do not need to wait for symptoms to take action. Screening early is the safest approach.

Your gut health matters. Early testing saves lives.

If you are due for a check, our team is here to support you every step of the way. 🩺💙

January is the perfect time to prioritise your gut health.

Many digestive conditions develop quietly over time, which is why screening before symptoms appear is one of the most powerful steps you can take for long-term wellbeing.
With shorter wait times, a fresh new-year baseline, and the chance to prevent issues early, a colonoscopy or endoscopy in January can make a meaningful difference to your health for the year ahead.
Start the year with confidence.
