How to prepare
- Detailed discussion of medical history, symptom patterns, diet, and stress levels with the gastroenterologist.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours if an upper endoscopy (gastroscopy) is scheduled for diagnostic purposes.
- Temporary discontinuation of certain medications (like blood thinners) as advised by the doctor, specifically for endoscopic procedures.
- Preparation for possible breath or stool tests, which may require stopping antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors beforehand.
- Maintaining a symptom diary to track food intake, symptoms, and potential triggers before the consultation.
