What Doctor Should I See for Stomach Issues?
A gastroenterologist — also called a GI doctor or digestive specialist — evaluates and treats persistent problems involving the stomach and the rest of the digestive system. A gastroenterologist cares for the full digestive tract, including:
Stomach
Esophagus
Intestines
Colon
Liver
Gallbladder
Pancreas
Digestive Problems Specialist Serving Sealy
Ongoing digestive symptoms are worth evaluating — especially when they keep coming back or interfere with daily life. Dr. Khan helps Sealy-area patients get to the cause of digestive problems and build a plan to feel better. Common reasons to see a digestive specialist include:
- Stomach pain or abdominal pain
- Bloating and gas
- Stomach burning or heartburn
- Nausea or vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea or changes in bowel habits
- Blood in the stool
- Difficulty swallowing
- Persistent indigestion
- Unexplained digestive symptoms
Gut Inflammation & Stomach Inflammation
“Gut inflammation” is a broad term that describes inflammation somewhere in the digestive tract. Because the digestive system is long and complex, inflammation can occur in different areas — and each has its own name and possible causes. A gastroenterologist can help identify where the inflammation is and what is driving it.
- Stomach inflammation → Gastritis
- Esophageal inflammation → Esophagitis
- Intestinal inflammation → May occur with Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or other conditions
- Colon inflammation → Colitis
- IBD → Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining.
Stomach Inflammation & Gastritis
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. It can come on suddenly (acute gastritis) or develop over time (chronic gastritis), and it is sometimes linked to an H. pylori infection, certain medications, or other causes. Common symptoms include:
- Stomach burning
- Upper stomach pain
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Indigestion
- Feeling full early when eating
Is Stomach Burning Always Gastritis?
Not always. A burning feeling in the stomach can come from gastritis, but similar symptoms can also be caused by acid reflux (GERD), stomach or duodenal ulcers, functional dyspepsia, or other upper GI conditions. Because these problems overlap, an evaluation by a gastroenterologist — sometimes including an upper endoscopy — is the best way to find the true cause and treat it correctly.
