About digestive diseases
Digestive diseases are any health problem that occurs in the digestive tract, which is also called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The digestive tract is made up of the oesophagus (food tube), stomach, large and small intestines, liver, pancreas, and the gallbladder.
Some digestive diseases and conditions are acute, lasting only a short time, while others are chronic (long-lasting). Common problems include heartburn, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance and diverticulitis.
At Mater Private Network, our consultant gastroenterologists and supporting team members are highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of digestive disorders. Patients with digestive diseases have access to our endoscopy services in both Cork and Dublin and are cared for by a Mater Private Network team which may include:
- Consultant gastroenterologists
- Nutritionists or dietitians
- Radiologists
- Surgeons
