IBS & Gut Health care in Palm Jumeirah, 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 Palm Jumeirah, that means real continuity — one named GP, home visits when you need them, and bloods drawn at your address by a DHA-licensed nurse.
Why Palm Jumeirah patients choose Aafiyah
Whether you live on Palm Jumeirah or you're staying at one of its hotels, getting proper medical care without leaving your villa or suite matters. Our doctors and nurses regularly visit Palm Jumeirah for everything from urgent same-day consultations to scheduled blood tests and IV therapy for jet lag or dehydration after a long journey. For residents, we also support ongoing care — including elderly family members — with the same team and same named GP each time, so there's no need to repeat your history with someone new.

FAQs from Palm Jumeirah 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 Palm Jumeirah?
+
Yes — a British-trained GP can visit you at home, hotel or office anywhere in Palm Jumeirah, 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.
