Stomach Pain and When You Need to See Your Gastroenterologist

If you are experiencing stomach pain that has lasted for a few weeks or that seems out of the ordinary, it might be time to visit your gastroenterologist.

Early Symptoms

Symptoms such as excess gas, or difficulty swallowing may be simple reactions to a diet change or infection.

Stomach Pain Due to Chronic Diarrhea

If you are experiencing chronic diarrhea including stomach pain, cramping, or if you are finding blood in your stool you may be suffering from Crohn’s disease.

Your local gastroenterologist should be able to diagnose your symptoms particularly if they are concurrent with other symptoms such as ulcers in order to set the best treatment course of action.
