Gall stones

Acid reflux

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Gall stones are tiny stone like materials that form in the gall bladder as a result of imbalance in bile components. Most gallstones form because the liver makes more cholesterol than your bile can dissolve. Common symptoms include nausea & vomiting, sharp pain in the upper abdomen, burping, clay coloured stools, diarrhoea and indigestion. What can you do about it? Keep your gallbladder by maintaining a healthy weight, eat an anti-inflammatory diet and exercise regularly. If you are experiencing pain or any of the mentioned symptoms, gallstone removal can be performed with Laparoscopy Cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive procedure.

Gastroscopy

A gastroscopy is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope is used to look inside the oesophagus (gullet), stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). The endoscope has a light and a camera on one end. The camera sends images of the inside of your oesophagus, stomach and duodenum to a monitor.
