Many people develop small pouches in the wall of the colon as they get older. This condition is called diverticulosis and often causes no symptoms.

Problems arise when these pouches become inflamed or infected, leading to diverticulitis. This can cause abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and changes in bowel habits.

In this video, Dr. Gill explains the difference between diverticulosis and diverticulitis, why these conditions occur, and how they are treated.

Understanding diverticular disease can help patients recognize symptoms early and seek timely care.

Obesity is closely linked to diabetes, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, and heart complications. Many patients are unaware that excess weight can silently affect liver health long before symptoms appear.

At Islamabad Gastroenterology Associates, we approach obesity as a medical condition that requires proper evaluation. This includes metabolic blood tests, liver function testing, and FibroScan to assess fat accumulation and fibrosis in the liver.

Based on these findings, we create a supervised plan that may include lifestyle guidance and medical therapy when appropriate. The goal is long-term health, not short-term results.

If you are concerned about weight gain, abnormal blood tests, or fatty liver, a proper assessment can help prevent future complications.

Many people stop eating dairy, gluten, or entire food groups because something doesn’t “sit right.”

But digestive reactions don’t always mean a food allergy.
Food intolerances happen when the gut struggles to digest or process certain foods. Lactose intolerance, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and even histamine sensitivity can cause bloating, pain, loose stools, or discomfort after meals.

IBS triggers can look similar, which is why guessing often leads to unnecessary restrictions and frustration.

The right approach starts with understanding your symptoms, your eating patterns, and your gut health. Sometimes a guided elimination plan helps. Other times, simple testing and medical advice can prevent long-term dietary mistakes.

If food keeps leaving you confused or uncomfortable, it’s worth getting clarity.

As we cross 40, our digestive system does not behave the same way it did in our twenties.

Some symptoms that once felt harmless now deserve closer attention.

Red flags after 40 include
• New or persistent abdominal pain
• Ongoing heartburn or reflux
• Changes in bowel habits lasting more than a few weeks
• Blood in stool or black stools
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
• Difficulty swallowing

These symptoms do not always mean something serious, but they should not be ignored. Early evaluation helps rule out conditions like ulcers, polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, or colorectal cancer while they are still manageable.

At IGA, we focus on timely assessment and thoughtful care, not unnecessary procedures.

Being overweight or obese is not only about appearance.
It often affects blood sugar control, liver health, cholesterol, and long-term heart risk.

At IGA, we approach weight-related concerns medically. Our evaluation includes blood tests, liver function assessment, diabetes screening, and FibroScan, which is the gold standard for checking fat and fibrosis in the liver. This helps us understand what is happening inside the body, not just on the scale.

For some patients, lifestyle changes are enough. For others, supervised medical treatment can support safe and meaningful weight loss while protecting the liver and overall health.

If weight is affecting your health or your lab results, it may be time for a proper medical review.

Many digestive symptoms start quietly. A little discomfort. A change in appetite. Occasional bloating or heartburn.

Over time, these signs can become part of daily life and often get ignored.

It may be time to see a gastroenterologist if you notice
• Persistent heartburn or acid reflux
• Ongoing abdominal pain or bloating
• Changes in bowel habits
• Difficulty swallowing
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
• Blood in stool or black stools

Early evaluation helps identify problems before they turn into complications. At IGA, we focus on understanding symptoms in context, not rushing tests unless they are truly needed.

If something does not feel right, it is worth getting it checked.

Fatty liver disease becomes more serious when fibrosis begins.
In this video, Prof. Dr. Muzaffar Gill explains what happens when scarring develops in the liver and how this stage still allows room for control and improvement. He talks about the role of diet, weight management, physical activity, and when medications may be considered.

Dr. Gill also explains how a FibroScan helps us understand liver damage and decide whether newer treatments like Resmetirom or GLP-1 based therapies may benefit a patient.

The key message is simple. Not everyone needs medication, but everyone deserves proper evaluation.
