What kind of doctor should you see for digestive problems?

Answer by  Connie45 (1110)

You should see a gastroenterologist (GI doc.) A GI specializes in organs of digestion. Some have special knowledge about liver disease or pancreatitis. He might also refer you to a hepatologist (liver specialist) or endocrinologist (specializes in the endocrine system and diabetes.)

The first stop is a general practitioner who can rule out common problems like hernias, infections, gall bladder disease, or diabetes. The next step would be a gastroenterologist, who specifically treats problems of the digestive tract. If possible food allergies like gluten intolerance are found, you would see an immunologist.
