Department of Digestive endoscopy and gastroenterological pathophysiology @ Ospedale Galeazzi - Sant'Ambrogio

The Digestive Endoscopy and Gastroenterological Pathophysiology Department of the Ospedale Galeazzi-Sant’Ambrogio deals with problems related to the digestive system, such as poor digestion (dyspepsia), burning in the stomach area, abdominal bloating and bowel disorders (such as, for example, constipation or diarrhea), with the aim of helping patients understand and solve their problem.

The Department performs diagnostic procedures for the recognition of:

• specific organic diseases such as peptic ulcer, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, inflammatory bowel disease;
• specific food intolerances, e.g., celiac disease, or related to individual foods, improper nutrition, or a particular sensitivity of the intestine to stress such as irritable bowel/colon syndrome.
