A comprehensive range of specialist gastroenterology & liver services
Endoscopy is a simple, safe procedure where a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera (called an endoscope) is gently passed through your mouth or rectum to look inside your digestive system. It helps the doctor see the lining of your stomach, esophagus, or colon in real time on a screen — much more detailed than an X-ray.
H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a common type of bacteria that infects the stomach lining. Many people carry it without symptoms, but it can cause stomach ulcers, chronic gastritis, and even increase the risk of stomach cancer if left untreated. The good news: it's easy to test for and very treatable.
A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss procedure. A soft silicone balloon is placed inside your stomach through your mouth (no cuts or scars) and then filled with saline. It takes up space in your stomach so you feel full faster and eat less. Think of it as a temporary tool that helps you build healthier eating habits while you lose weight.
Colorectal cancer screening is a set of tests designed to find cancer or pre-cancerous growths (polyps) in the colon and rectum before you have any symptoms. Colonoscopy is the most thorough screening — it lets the doctor see the entire colon and remove polyps on the spot, preventing cancer before it starts.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) triggers your immune system to attack the lining of your small intestine. This damages the villi (tiny finger-like projections) that absorb nutrients, leading to malabsorption — your body can't properly absorb vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients from food.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) includes two main conditions: Ulcerative Colitis (which affects the colon) and Crohn's Disease (which can affect any part of the digestive tract). In IBD, the immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive tract, causing chronic inflammation, pain, and damage. It's a lifelong condition, but with the right care, most patients live full, active lives.
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a condition where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine, causing bloating, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. The breath test is a simple, painless way to detect SIBO — you drink a sugar solution (lactulose or glucose) and breathe into a collection device at regular intervals. The gases in your breath tell us if bacteria are overgrowing in the wrong place.
Esophageal manometry (upper GI manometry) is a test that measures how well the muscles in your esophagus (food pipe) work when you swallow. A thin, flexible tube with pressure sensors is gently passed through your nose into your esophagus. It records the strength and coordination of muscle contractions as you take small sips of water.
Anorectal manometry measures the pressures and muscle coordination in your rectum and anal sphincter. A small, flexible catheter with a balloon tip is gently inserted into the rectum. It evaluates how well the muscles and nerves work together for normal bowel movements. This is the key test for understanding chronic constipation, fecal incontinence, and pelvic floor disorders.
Biofeedback is a non-invasive training technique that teaches you to control the muscles of your pelvic floor. Using a small sensor, you can see your muscle activity on a screen in real time and learn to coordinate them properly. It's like physical therapy for your bowel muscles — and it's one of the most effective treatments for chronic constipation caused by pelvic floor dysfunction and for fecal incontinence.
Capsule endoscopy uses a tiny wireless camera the size of a large vitamin pill. You simply swallow it with water, and as it travels naturally through your digestive tract, it takes thousands of high-quality images of your small intestine — an area that's difficult to reach with standard endoscopes.
The Bravo capsule pH test is a wireless way to measure acid reflux. During a brief endoscopy, a tiny capsule is attached to the lining of your esophagus. For the next 48–96 hours, it wirelessly transmits acid measurements to a small recorder you carry. Unlike the traditional nasal probe, there's nothing in your nose or throat — so you can eat, drink, sleep, and go about your day normally.
This test uses a very thin, flexible catheter placed through your nose into your esophagus for 24 hours. It measures both acid and non-acid reflux episodes, the height they reach in your esophagus, and correlates them with your symptoms. It's the most comprehensive reflux test available and the gold standard for diagnosing GERD.
FibroScan is a quick, painless, non-invasive test that measures the stiffness of your liver using a special ultrasound-like device. Liver stiffness tells your doctor how much scarring (fibrosis) is present — without needing a liver biopsy. It also measures the amount of fat in the liver (steatosis).
An abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to create real-time images of your internal organs. It's a safe, painless, and radiation-free way to examine your liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal blood vessels.
The lactose breath test is a simple, non-invasive test that measures hydrogen and methane gases in your breath after drinking a lactose solution. If your body cannot properly digest lactose (the sugar found in milk and dairy products), bacteria in your gut ferment it and produce these gases, which are then detected in your breath.
The FIT test (Fecal Immunochemical Test) is a specialized stool test that detects tiny amounts of blood in your stool that are invisible to the naked eye. It specifically identifies human hemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells), making it more accurate than older stool blood tests. It is one of the most important screening tools for colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps.
Fecal calprotectin is a specialized stool test that measures the level of calprotectin — a protein released by white blood cells (neutrophils) when there is inflammation in the intestines. It is the single most useful non-invasive marker for intestinal inflammation, particularly in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (IBD). It can also help differentiate IBD from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), which does not cause inflammation.
Our specialized GI pharmacy stocks a comprehensive range of gastroenterology-specific medications that are often difficult to find in regular pharmacies. We provide expert dispensing, patient counseling, and medication management for conditions including IBD (Crohn's and ulcerative colitis), GERD, IBS, liver disease, H. pylori, and all digestive disorders. Our pharmacists are trained specifically in GI medications and their interactions.
