Specialist Consultation

Expert specialist assessments for bowel and digestive health in Queensland

At Bowel Diagnostics & Therapy, many patients benefit from a referral to a specialist following their initial consultation, particularly when experiencing persistent gastrointestinal symptoms or changes in bowel health. Our goal is to provide seamless access to some of the most trusted bowel specialists in Brisbane and across Queensland, ensuring you receive the advanced assessment and treatment services you need.

Our Specialist Consultation service connects you with experienced clinicians who focus on bowel, colorectal, and gastrointestinal conditions. Whether you require a specialist bowel consultation, a colonoscopy referral in Brisbane, advanced diagnostics, or ongoing management, our team ensures you receive timely, coordinated care.

Why You May Be Referred to a Specialist

During your initial appointment and functional bowel assessment, your practitioner may recommend further evaluation based on your symptoms, medical history, or screening needs. Common reasons for specialist referral include:

  • Ongoing or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms

  • Chronic constipation or diarrhoea

  • Rectal bleeding, haemorrhoids or fissures

  • Changes in bowel habits

  • Suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

  • Pelvic floor dysfunction or difficulty evacuating

  • Bowel cancer screening requirements

  • Need for endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy or colonoscopy

A specialist assessment allows for more advanced diagnostic approaches and personalised treatment plans. These specialist insights help identify the cause of your symptoms and guide your pathway toward improved bowel health.
