Who this appointment is for
Book Professor Qasim Aziz if you want senior specialist input for:
- IBS and IBS type symptoms, including diarrhoea, constipation, mixed bowel habit, bloating and pain
- Functional dyspepsia and persistent upper abdominal discomfort
- Chronic abdominal pain and suspected visceral hypersensitivity
- Suspected motility disorders or abnormal gut movement symptoms
- Reflux and complex reflux symptoms, including symptoms that do not fit a simple pattern

What makes this pathway different at LSDC
This is not a standard gastro clinic visit. It is a specialist gut brain approach designed for complex, persistent symptoms.
- Consultant-led from day one
- Focus on the clinical question, not endless testing
- Targeted investigations that change decisions, with results interpreted in context
- A plan that fits real life, including work schedules, travel and privacy
- Structured follow up so you are not left waiting with results and no direction
Rapid access plan, step by step
1) Define what is actually going on
- Detailed symptom pattern mapping
- Triggers, timing, red flags, prior investigations, treatment history
- Clear differentiation between functional patterns, inflammatory patterns, and motility patterns
2) Choose investigations that change the plan
- Targeted blood tests and diagnostics where clinically appropriate
- Avoid unnecessary duplication where high quality results already exist
- Clear explanation of what each test can and cannot answer
3) Build a decision ready management plan
- A working diagnosis explained clearly
- A structured plan that may include medication strategy, gut brain approaches, dietary pathway, and escalation only when justified
4) Review, refine, and optimise
- Follow up based on response and results
- Adjustments that aim for sustained improvement, not short lived fixes
Conditions and symptom pathways Professor Aziz is known for
IBS, bloating and abdominal pain
When symptoms persist and standard tests are normal, the aim is to identify the mechanism, not just label the symptoms. This can include visceral hypersensitivity, altered gut brain signalling, or motility patterns.
Functional dyspepsia and upper gut symptoms
Persistent discomfort, early fullness, nausea, and non ulcer type symptoms can have specific gut brain drivers. The plan focuses on targeted assessment and practical management, not repeated reassurance.
Motility symptoms and difficult to explain patterns
Motility disorders can present with constipation, pain, bloating, nausea, or episodic patterns. The goal is a structured pathway that matches symptoms to physiology and avoids unnecessary repeat testing.
Reflux and non-cardiac chest pain
If reflux symptoms do not match typical patterns, or chest pain has been cleared by cardiology, oesophageal function and hypersensitivity can be relevant.
Hypermobility, Ehlers Danlos related GI symptoms, and systemic overlap
Professor Aziz’s published and listed interests include GI symptoms in joint hypermobility syndromes and connective tissue disorders including Ehlers Danlos related presentations.
What we can coordinate quickly
Depending on symptoms and clinical need, your pathway may include:
- Targeted blood tests and specialist panels where appropriate
- Review of previous results including scans, endoscopy reports, and specialist letters
- Coordination of further diagnostics when indicated
- Clear written next steps and follow up planning
You will not be sent for a broad tick box list of tests. The aim is useful answers and a coherent plan.

Common booking scenarios
Patients often book because:
- “I have been told it is IBS, but I am not improving and I want a specialist plan.”
- “My tests are normal, but my symptoms are real and persistent.”
- “I have complex reflux or chest discomfort and I need a clear direction.”
- “I have hypermobility or a systemic condition and my gut symptoms are escalating.”
- “I want a second opinion from a senior neurogastroenterologist before more tests or procedures.”
Second opinions
A second opinion is useful if:
- symptoms persist despite treatment
- results have not been explained clearly
- you have conflicting advice from different clinicians
- you are deciding whether further investigations are truly necessary
Bring results if you have them. If you do not, book anyway and we will work with what is available.
What to bring to your appointment
If available, bring:
- a brief symptom timeline and triggers
- medication list, including supplements
- prior results including blood tests, stool tests, scans, endoscopy, and pathology
- previous specialist letters
- relevant diagnoses such as diabetes, connective tissue disorders, or neurological conditions
What happens after your appointment
You will typically receive:
- a clear written summary of findings and next steps
