IBS & Gut Health care in DIFC, done properly.
Bloating, alternating diarrhoea and constipation, pain after meals — IBS is real and treatable. We rule out the serious causes (coeliac, IBD, infection), then build a working plan with FODMAP guidance and the right medication. For patients in DIFC, that means real continuity — one named GP, home visits when you need them, and bloods drawn at your address by a DHA-licensed nurse.

FAQs from DIFC patients
Is IBS the same as IBD?
+
No. IBS is a functional disorder; IBD (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis) is inflammatory and shows on tests. We always check faecal calprotectin to tell them apart.
Does the low-FODMAP diet really help?
+
For 60–70% of IBS patients, yes — done properly in three phases with a trained dietitian. We don't recommend doing it long-term without reintroduction.
Can you visit my home in DIFC?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in DIFC, usually within 60–90 minutes for urgent issues. Reviews for ibs & gut health are typically booked in advance so we have time for a proper consultation.
