What Is a Gastrointestinal (GI) Problem Consultation?

A Gastrointestinal Problem consultation helps identify the cause of various digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, or changes in bowel habits. The goal is to evaluate your symptoms, assess severity, and create a personalized plan for relief, treatment, and follow-up care.

Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What qualifies as a gastrointestinal (GI) problem?

GI problems include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, reflux, bloating, or any symptom affecting digestion or the gastrointestinal tract.

When should I seek evaluation for GI symptoms?

Seek care if symptoms persist more than a few days, worsen, cause dehydration, or interfere with eating, hydration, or daily activities.

Can a GI evaluation be done at home?

Yes. In-home evaluations allow providers to assess your symptoms and determine next steps comfortably and safely.

What causes gastrointestinal symptoms?

Causes include viral or bacterial infections, food intolerances, inflammation, acid imbalance, stress, medication side effects, or chronic digestive conditions.

Do I need testing for my GI symptoms?

Testing may be recommended based on symptom severity, duration, and associated risks. Providers may recommend labs, stool tests, or referral to Gastroenterology.

What treatments are available?

Treatment options include hydration, diet changes, antacids, anti-nausea medications, anti-diarrheal medication, fiber therapy, or antibiotics when appropriate.

Can stress or diet make GI symptoms worse?

Yes. Stress, poor eating habits, overeating, caffeine, alcohol, and spicy or acidic foods can trigger or worsen symptoms.

Is it normal to have chronic digestive symptoms?

Persistent GI symptoms are not normal and should be evaluated to rule out underlying conditions that require treatment.

Are virtual visits available?

Yes. Virtual visits help determine whether in-home or in-clinic care is needed and provide initial evaluation for mild cases.

Does insurance cover GI evaluations?

Most insurance plans cover digestive health evaluations, treatment planning, and follow-up visits.

When is urgent care recommended?

Urgent care is recommended for severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, blood in stool, high fever, or sudden severe abdominal pain.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies depending on the cause. Mild GI issues resolve in days, while chronic conditions may require ongoing management.
