Comprehensive IBS Care in Dubai: Expertise Tailored to You
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can have a profound impact on daily life, causing discomfort, pain, and frequent changes in bowel habits. Having spent 14 years as a Consultant Gastroenterologist in some of London’s top teaching hospitals—including University College Hospital and the Royal Free Hospital—I have developed a deep understanding of the complex nature of IBS. My experience in managing a wide range of cases, enables me to offer highly personalized care here in Dubai. I also incorporate advanced diagnostic tools such as gut microbiome testing, and the latest dietary research which plays an essential role in managing IBS triggers.
What is IBS?
IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal condition characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and constipation. While the exact cause of IBS remains unclear, it’s often linked to abnormal contractions of the intestinal muscles, food sensitivities, stress, hormonal changes, and imbalances in the gut microbiome.
Why Choose Personalized IBS Care?
Every case of IBS is unique, and I believe in a personalized approach to treatment. Through a combination of detailed history taking, targeted testing including gut microbiome analysis, tailored dietary plans, and stress management strategies, I aim to help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life. I have seen firsthand how personalized care can make a significant difference in symptom relief and overall well-being.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing for IBS
At my practice, I utilize advanced diagnostic tools to get to the root of your IBS symptoms, including:
- Gut Microbiome Testing: This test helps identify imbalances in the gut bacteria, which may contribute to IBS symptoms. With this knowledge, I can develop a more targeted treatment plan.
- Hydrogen Breath Testing: To diagnose small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), which is often associated with IBS symptoms such as bloating and gas.
Common Triggers of IBS
Some common triggers of IBS include:
- Certain Foods: Wheat, dairy, citrus fruits, beans, and cabbage can all exacerbate symptoms.
- Stress: Stress is a significant trigger for IBS, often leading to a worsening of symptoms during stressful periods.
- Hormonal Changes: Women, in particular, may notice a link between IBS symptoms and hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle.
