Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I schedule my first colonoscopy?

The American Cancer Society now recommends that adults at average risk for colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, you may need to start screening earlier. Please consult with our Austin gastroenterologists to determine the best schedule for you.

What is the difference between IBS and IBD?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder affecting how the bowel works, often causing cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea or constipation. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract and can cause permanent damage if untreated.

How do I prepare for a colonoscopy or endoscopy?

Preparation is key to a successful procedure. You will receive detailed instructions from our office, which typically involve a clear liquid diet the day before and a bowel preparation solution. It is crucial to follow these instructions exactly to ensure the doctor has a clear view of your digestive tract.

Do I need a referral to see a gastroenterologist?

Many insurance plans do require a referral from your primary care physician. We recommend checking with your insurance provider. If a referral is needed, our office staff can assist you with the process.
