Digestive symptoms we assess
If you’re searching for a gastro specialist in London, the right first step is a consultant-led assessment that identifies patterns, excludes important disease, and creates a clear plan. We support both new symptoms and long-standing concerns.
IBS & bowel habit change

Abdominal pain
Persistent or recurring pain, visceral hypersensitivity patterns, or pain with a clear trigger profile requiring specialist interpretation.
Bleeding & anaemia pathways
Rectal bleeding, iron deficiency, or abnormal results, with fast investigation planning and escalation where clinically indicated.
Screening & prevention
Personalised risk review and screening pathways, including colonoscopy planning when appropriate for prevention and reassurance.
Complex digestive cases
Symptoms with multiple contributors, including medication effects, metabolic factors, stress physiology, and overlapping conditions.
Tests and diagnostics
Rapid access to targeted investigations is a key reason patients choose a private gastroenterology clinic in London. At LSDC, testing is guided by your symptoms and clinical risk, with clear, transparent options before anything is arranged.
-
Specialist blood tests for inflammation, coeliac screening, nutritional markers and metabolic contributors, selected to match your presentation.
-
Stool testing pathways where clinically appropriate, including inflammation markers and infection screening.
-
Endoscopy planning for gastroscopy and colonoscopy when indicated, with clear preparation and follow-up.
-
Imaging coordination through trusted partners when required, with consultant interpretation and next-step planning.

Endoscopy in London
When clinically indicated, endoscopy provides rapid diagnostic clarity. Our consultants can arrange gastroscopy or colonoscopy pathways with careful preparation guidance, safe sedation planning and clear follow-up.
Gastroscopy (upper endoscopy)
Typically used to assess reflux, indigestion, nausea, upper abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing and unexplained symptoms requiring direct visual assessment.
Structured consultant assessment first, so the test is truly indicated.
Clear pre-procedure guidance and preparation instructions.
Results explained in context, with a practical next-step plan.
Colonoscopy (bowel endoscopy)
Used to assess bowel habit change, rectal bleeding, anaemia pathways, unexplained abdominal pain, and prevention-focused screening where appropriate.
Personalised risk assessment and transparent investigation planning.
Guided preparation to maximise comfort and diagnostic quality.
Clear follow-up and ongoing care planning after the procedure.
Endoscopy is recommended only when clinically indicated. If you have significant rectal bleeding, black stools, persistent vomiting, severe worsening pain, fainting, fever or unintended weight loss, please seek urgent medical assessment.
Why choose LSDC for gastroenterology

Joined-up care when needed
Digestive symptoms can overlap with endocrinology, cardiology, women’s health and nutrition. LSDC’s multidisciplinary team supports coordinated care.
Neurogastroenterology and IBS care
Many patients searching for an IBS specialist in London have already tried basic dietary changes, over-the-counter remedies and multiple tests. At LSDC, our approach is more precise: we assess the gut-brain axis, symptom patterns and risk factors, then build a plan that is evidence-based and realistic.
Targeted testing to exclude important organic disease and identify treatable contributors.
Clear explanation of what results mean and why symptoms can persist even when routine tests are normal.
Practical management including medical options, gut-brain strategies and diet pathways where appropriate.
When to consider specialist gut-brain assessment
A neurogastroenterology approach is often valuable when symptoms are persistent, complex or not responding to standard treatment.
- Bloating and abdominal pain affecting daily life
- Alternating diarrhoea and constipation
- “Normal” tests but ongoing symptoms
- Reflux and indigestion that feels atypical
- Symptoms overlapping with stress physiology or sleep disruption
