Did you know high blood sugar doesn’t just harm your heart and kidneys—it can damage your digestive system too? 🚨
Many people with diabetes struggle with bloating, constipation, or feeling full too quickly. The reason? Uncontrolled diabetes can damage the nerves that move food through your gut (diabetic gastroparesis) and even disrupt your gut bacteria.
👉 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝘁:
1️⃣ Keep your blood sugar under control—it’s the best defense for your gut nerves.
2️⃣ Eat smaller, more frequent meals if you experience digestive symptoms.
3️⃣ Don’t ignore persistent gut issues—seek medical advice.
Your gut health matters just as much as your sugar readings. Take early action to protect your digestion and quality of life.
📌 Consult Dr. Saravana Kumar, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist at ParkCity Medical Centre, if you experience digestive issues related to diabetes.

Fatty liver may feel harmless now—but some foods can quietly push it towards cirrhosis (permanent liver damage).
Here are the top 3 culprits to cut down or avoid:
1️⃣ Sugary drinks & fruit juices – Excess fructose directly worsens liver fat and speeds up scarring.
2️⃣ Alcohol (even ‘social drinking’) – Inflammation and fibrosis progress faster in fatty liver patients.
3️⃣ Trans fats (margarine, shortening, fried fast food) – They fuel fat buildup and chronic inflammation.
💡 Tip: Fatty liver is reversible in its early stages—but only if you take action now.
A healthy liver means better metabolism, better energy, and a lower risk of liver failure.
🩺 Book a consultation with Dr. Saravana, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist at ParkCity Medical Centre, to protect and restore your liver health.

A colon polyp may be small, but if left alone, it can silently turn into cancer over time—often without any symptoms.
Here’s what happens if one is found during your colonoscopy:
1️⃣ Immediate removal – Most polyps are removed on the spot using a wire loop/snare while you’re sedated (so it’s painless).
2️⃣ Lab biopsy – Not because we suspect cancer right away, but to find out the type and assess your future risk.
3️⃣ Prevention, not just detection – Removing polyps early can stop cancer before it starts.
💡 Tip: If you’re over 45 or have a family history of colon cancer, don’t delay your screening. Colonoscopy isn’t just about finding problems—it’s about preventing them.
🩺 Book your colonoscopy with Dr. Saravana, Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist at ParkCity Medical Centre, for peace of mind and prevention.

Always a pleasure attending the Annual Scientific Meeting of MSGH (GUT 2025) — a great platform to reconnect with fellow colleagues, exchange ideas and stay updated with the latest developments in Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
Continuous medical education (CME) and professional development (CPD) are essential in ensuring we deliver the best care to our patients — and meetings like this remind us how much we can learn from one another.

Most colon polyps are silent—but some can give you clues if you know what to look for.
Here are 5 signs you shouldn’t ignore:
1️⃣ Re**al bleeding – even small streaks of blood matter.
2️⃣ Dark or black stools – may signal bleeding higher in the gut.
3️⃣ Persistent bowel changes – constipation or diarrhea lasting days.
4️⃣ Unexplained fatigue – could be from slow, hidden blood loss.
5️⃣ Iron deficiency anemia – sometimes the only sign picked up on blood tests.
💡 Why it matters: Polyps can be removed before they turn cancerous—but only if detected early.
🩺 If you notice any of these signs, book a screening with Dr. Saravana—Consultant Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist at ParkCity Medical Centre.

⚠️ Rapid Weight Loss & Liver Damage — What You Need to Know
Losing weight fast might sound great—but your liver may pay the price.
Here are 5 science-backed reasons to avoid crash diets:

1. Triggers Fatty Liver
Excess fat floods your liver faster than it can process—leading to fat build-up.
2. Causes Gallstones
Skipping meals reduces gallbladder movement, causing bile to stagnate and form stones.
3. Can Spike Liver Enzymes
Sudden drops in weight may lead to liver inflammation and damage.
4. Slows Your Metabolism
Extreme diets confuse your body, lowering metabolic rate and stressing hormones.
5. Sustainable = Safer
Aim to lose 0.5–1kg/week—it's safer for your liver and more lasting.

💡 Liver is your detox HQ. Protect it.
Thinking of a weight loss journey? Talk to an expert first.
