A healthy digestive system is essential for nutrient absorption, energy, and overall immunity. Chronic indigestion, acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and liver disorders can disrupt daily life if left unaddressed.

At Saroja Multispeciality Hospital in Nalasopara East, our Department of Gastroenterology provides advanced medical and endoscopic diagnosis.

Common Gastrointestinal Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

• Acid Reflux (GERD): Persistent heartburn, chest burning, or sour regurgitation after meals.
• Peptic Ulcers: Burning stomach pain relieved or worsened by food, often caused by H. pylori bacterial infection or painkillers.
• Fatty Liver Disease: Accumulation of excess fat in liver cells associated with metabolic syndrome.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Alternating bouts of constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal cramps.
• Gallstones: Sharp pain in the upper right abdomen after fatty meals. Learn about keyhole treatment in our Laparoscopic Unit.

What is an Upper GI Endoscopy and How Does it Help?

An Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is a safe diagnostic procedure where a flexible, thin tube with a camera (endoscope) visualizes the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. It helps gastroenterologists:

• Identify gastric ulcers, inflammation (gastritis), or esophageal erosion.
• Detect H. pylori infections and perform precise tissue biopsies.
• Stop active gastrointestinal bleeding or remove gastric polyps without surgery.

Simple Tips for a Healthy Digestive System

• Eat smaller, balanced meals at consistent times daily.
• Avoid excessive spicy, oily, deep-fried, or processed foods.
• Limit late-night meals—allow 2 to 3 hours between dinner and sleep.
• Stay well-hydrated and consume dietary fiber to support healthy bowel movements.
