Your first appointment with a GI provider is a chance to talk through what you’ve been experiencing and start building a plan to help you feel better. Your provider will start by asking you questions about:
- Your health history
- Your GI symptoms
- Your lifestyle
- How your gut issues may be affecting your quality of life
- Your care goals
This is the time to share what’s been going on, what you’ve tried so far, if anything, and what your biggest symptom concerns are.
From there, your provider may discuss possible causes and recommend next steps. That might include testing, medication, and connecting you with a registered dietitian and/or gut-brain specialist.
Our providers want you to leave the visit feeling heard and supported, with a clear path forward for improving your digestive health.
