Anyone know any more affordable Specialist/Hospital that have good gastroenterology doctor? been having this stomachache at the upper stomach. abdomen. been to GP in UH (done blood test) , done gastrocopy at BP Lab, but all doctor say nothing wrong. So want to see some better doctor but still affordable.
Maybe price below 200? LOL , i'm not sure about the price though. Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

Hi,

I been to one in Gleneagles. The doctor is quite good. But the price abit steep cos i done both colon and gastro. around 5k++
Use your medical card.

If you are still not convince, go to the Pvt hospital and take up a full executive health screening. This will give you a clearer picture.

Or you can go to the govt clinic and then ask them to make a referral to the govt hospital. That is the alternatives.

Maybe, you have gastritis. Just take medicine will do.

Hope everything is well for you.

Hospital Selayang is a gastro center if im not mistaken.

I'm also seeing a gastro at Gleneagles. Doctors there was good. First consultation won't be more than 150. If you need more info do pm me.

hi, thank you. wow, 5000 is very steep!
but i think you must stay overnight in order to claim medical card, right?

o.. i heard hospital selayang is one of the very famous gov hospital, issit?
my friend say if i got record inside, will be much easier

if stay in hospital for screening i think cannot use medical card. unless is company one.

yep, selayang is where we refer gastro patients.

but it's a referral hospital. means u cannot just go to get admitted if it's not an emergency.

the procedure is a bit troublesome. u have to go to any clinic first, and ask them to refer u to Hosp Selayang. then only u can go to Hosp Selayang and visit their specialist clinic. If the specialist think u are suitable to admit, then they will admit.

anyway, just some quick questions:
-how does the pain feel? sharp pain? feel like hot and burning? or dull aching pain like diarrhoea pain?
-how often, and when do u feel the pain? when hungry? or when eating? or no particular time?
-any other symptoms? vomiting? diarrhoea? feel stomach always full and bloated (angin) ? feel nauseous?

hi, thx for ur info.

it's dull pain at the stomach, 1 inch above and on the left of the navel. i've been having this pain for a year. =_=
due to it's not "very" painful, i've just let it be for so long..
it's happen occasionally, but about almost every 1-2day. usually more during i'm hungry, but sometimes even after i eat (but not often)
no vomitting. half years ago, i feel bloated , but this recent months , i dun feel it.
sometimes feel nausea when i'm hungry.
last time got blood in stool but i believe it's related to my Hemorrhoid =_= . but this half years, no more blood and going toilet has been easy for me.
i've done blood test in pathlab (says nth, they say no helicopbacter pylori)
done gastroscopy in bp lab, they say the stomach is ok, but it was done very fast though =_=. because i didnt take anesthesia.

im thinking it's likely to be just GERD (reflux) or dyspepsia.

just a bit of excess acid in the stomach. ever tried taking anti-reflux or gastric medicine? things like gaviscon.

o.. no wo.. not taking any medicine =_=

which doctor you looking there ?

PMed you

Hi,
I would like to recommend you to try the clinical hypnotherapy method to improve your gastrointestinal symptoms.
The Traditional and Complementary Medicine Act (Act 756) sets the minimum competence level for the credentialing of a professional Mind Body Soul Therapy practitioner in Malaysia.
Look for a registered and licensed clinical hypnotherapist under the Association of Hypnotherapy Practitioners, Malaysia (AHPM) which is the governing body for hypnotherapy.

The Efficacy of Hypnotherapy in the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4015203/
The outcomes in this meta-analysis were evaluated at 3 months for short-term effects and at 1 year for long-term effects. The change in abdominal pain score at 3 months was significant in the hypnotherapy group (standardized mean difference, −0.83; 95% CI, −1.65 to −0.01). Three of the 4 trials showed greater improvement in overall gastrointestinal symptoms in the hypnotherapy group.

Conclusions
This study provides clearer evidence that hypnotherapy has beneficial short-term effects in improving gastrointestinal symptoms of patients with IBS.

Hi Alicia, can PM me the gastro specialist in gleneagles also?

Thanks

Hi, May I know how they check for H. Pylori? By doing blood test?

Most direct and accurate method is by getting a scope to your stomach. Take a look inside and take a small sample for test.

Sample place in a reagen and can get result in 15 min

I just did blood test and it came out negative for H. Pylori. Just want to know is it reliable by doing blood test?

Hi can PM which doctor in Gleneagles?

This topic is a little old.. but from search i got here.. and i am also looking for a good gastro specialist.. so far doctors been feeding me lots of medicine here and there and its not getting better.. been having this for years..

Anyone out there can recommend a good specialist or able to give some advice?

The gastro department in Gleneagles are good but price a bit steep. Have you gone through any scope before?

I did a scope in universiti hospital .. a year ago.. doctor say nothing wrong.. but i doubt it.. i need some follow ups

Try consult gastroentrologist in gleneagles, can look for Dr. Anand/ Dr. Jason.

How much does it cost? Lets say a scope.. and whats the follow up after that? Anyone know

After the scope, it depends what are the findings. Usually the doc will even take some sample for biopsy during the scope.

It's a bit pricey in gleneagles, i remembered mine costs more than a thousand.

Plz anyone suggest me a Gastroenterologist at low consultation fee.
My location is kl

What were your symptoms like?

Can go to PPUM to check?

Does Putrajaya Hospital has Gastroenterologist?

For H Pylori test, the most accurate test is the urea test which is also called the breath test. I just did it last year. No bacteria but still having gastric on and off. And when the on comes without warning, it is terrible pain.

Hi,
Please anyone suggest me a Gastroenterologist with reasonable consultation fee? KL/PJ locations.
I would like to do a scope for my gastric. it's been a month, after medication still isnt getting better.

Thanks.

Hi, can anyone recommend which doctor for Gastroenterologist at SJMC ?

Is it specifically just SJMC?
Both my mom and gf were managed very well by a gastroenterologist but the doctor is not from SJMC

Well, it's just a preference due to location.
May i know what is your recommendation?

If it’s due to location, it may be inconvenient to you because the one I brought my mom and gf to is located at Kota Damansara.
Anyway, I’ve PM-ed you.

Would anyone here be able to recommend good gastroenterology specialist in Klang Valley? Good as in kind, patient and detailed. Not those type who rushes through the consultation. Tq

Hi can you kindly pm the gastro specialist? thanks.

Hi all, my sibling initially feeling left chest pain and short of breath. Went to a GP and did ECG, the result is normal. The doctor then diagnosed is acid reflux causing the chest pain and short of breath. My friend would like to seek for a specialist to get a second opinion. Do you all have any Doctor to recommend ? Thank you.

go for endoscopy...checked if the 'stomach valve can close properly or not

Anyone that went to the recommended hospital? Ok? I oso want get a second opinion from another doctor for constipation problem

May I know which specialist that u recommend in Sunway medical Kota Damansara

Try going to Klinik Kesihatan (KK) first, get a referral letter to Government Hospital e.g. Selayang Hospital.

They provide gastroscopy / colonoscopy for free. Outside is 2k-3k for checking.
You need to specifically request for one for them to arrange an appointment for scope.
