Gastroenterologist · Gurgaon (Gurugram)
Many gut and liver problems are easy to treat when they are caught early, and many others are harmless once properly checked. This page explains the common ones in plain language, so you know what to watch for and when to see a specialist.

Cold milk can soothe the burning for a few minutes. Its fat and protein then make the stomach release more acid, so the burning often comes back.

Myth Buster
Swipe through common beliefs about the stomach and liver and guess which are true. New ones every Monday and Thursday.
Myth or fact?
“Upper belly pain spreading to the back can mean pancreatitis.”
Fact: True. Pain from the pancreas often goes through to the back. The pancreas lies deep in the belly, close to the spine. An attack of pancreatitis, often set off by gallstones or alcohol, causes severe, constant pain that spreads to the back, usually with vomiting, and it is often mistaken for gas or acidity.

The food pipe carries food down; the stomach churns it with acid.
Cleans the blood, stores energy and makes bile to digest fat.
The gallbladder stores bile and squeezes it into the gut after meals.
Makes digestive juices, and the insulin that controls blood sugar.
Absorb food and water, then form and pass stool.
Tests & procedures

Areas of care
Before you visit
No. You can book directly. If another doctor has seen you, bring their notes and prescriptions.
All previous reports, scans, endoscopy and biopsy reports, and a list of every medicine and supplement you take. Photos of reports on your phone are fine.
Not for a consultation. Fasting is needed only for procedures such as endoscopy, and for some blood tests. You will be told in advance.
Yes. They work well for follow-ups, reviewing reports and diet advice. A first visit for new symptoms is better in person, so that you can be examined.
Endoscopy is a routine and very safe procedure. Serious complications are uncommon. The benefits and risks for your situation are explained before any procedure, and you can ask any question you have.
Procedures are done in a fully equipped hospital endoscopy unit with monitoring and anaesthesia support. The details are shared at your consultation.
Visit the clinic
Bring any previous reports, scans and a list of the medicines you take. If you have had an endoscopy before, bring that report too.
