What Dr. Roy Chaudhuri sees and treats, explained in plain language.
01
Problems of swallowing, acid and the upper digestive tract.
Heartburn, sour fluid rising into the throat, or a long-standing cough caused by stomach acid flowing back into the food pipe.
Food sticking or coming back up after swallowing. Investigated with endoscopy and manometry, and treated with procedures such as POEM where needed.
Burning pain in the upper abdomen, sometimes with bleeding, often linked to H. pylori infection or regular painkiller use.
Persistent fullness, bloating or discomfort after meals when no ulcer or other structural cause is found.
02
Long-term bowel symptoms, inflammation and absorption problems.
Recurrent abdominal pain with bloating, constipation, loose stools or both, with no structural disease on testing.
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: long-term inflammation of the bowel causing diarrhoea, blood in the stool, pain and weight loss.
Damage to the lining of the small intestine, in celiac disease triggered by gluten, leading to diarrhoea, anaemia and poor absorption of nutrients.
Long-standing difficulty passing stool. Manometry can show whether the muscles and nerves of the bowel are working together.
Loose stools that continue for weeks and need a proper search for the cause.
Vomiting blood, black stools or blood in the stool. It needs prompt assessment, and the source can often be found and treated through an endoscope.
03
An area of special interest, including complex and referred cases.
Sudden, severe upper abdominal pain from inflammation of the pancreas, most often caused by gallstones or alcohol.
Long-term damage to the pancreas causing recurring pain, poor digestion and, in some people, diabetes.
Fluid-filled sacs in or around the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasound helps tell which can be left alone and which need drainage or follow-up.
Stones that pass from the gallbladder into the bile duct, causing pain, jaundice or infection. Usually removed by ERCP.
Strictures that hold back the flow of bile and cause jaundice or itching. Assessed with EUS and treated by ERCP, with stenting where needed.
04
Metabolic, viral and long-term liver disease.
Fat building up in the liver, commonly alongside excess weight, diabetes or high cholesterol. Often silent in its early stages.
Viral infections of the liver that may cause no symptoms for years but can lead to scarring if left untreated.
Scarring of the liver from long-term damage, which can lead to fluid in the abdomen, bleeding and confusion.
Yellowing of the eyes and skin. It is a sign rather than a diagnosis, and the cause needs to be found.
These should be assessed without delay.
