If you've been experiencing a 'funny tummy' - bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, bleeding or pain in your stomach - your consultant will order some diagnostic tests. This is to help them determine if you have a disorder of the bowel.
Why you might need it
During an initial appointment with a consultant, you will discuss your medical history and any symptoms you've been experiencing - such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and pain in your stomach. Your consultant might recommend additional testing to help determine the condition you have.
