About me
Dr Ahmed Albusoda is an internationally recognised Consultant Gastroenterologist in London with a unique dual qualification as both a medical doctor (MD) and a PhD in visceral pain and neurogastroenterology. Based at LSDC Healthcare near Liverpool Street Station, he delivers world-class care for patients with complex digestive disorders, functional bowel conditions, and oesophageal diseases.
As one of the UK’s few gastroenterologists specialising in brain–gut disorders and the neurological control of digestion, Dr Albusoda offers an unrivalled depth of understanding for conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia, chronic abdominal pain, and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). His approach combines advanced diagnostic technology with a personalised treatment plan tailored to each patient’s lifestyle and needs.
Dr Albusoda is highly skilled in advanced endoscopic procedures, including transnasal gastroscopy, underwater colonoscopy, and complex polyp removal techniques.
