A DAY IN THE LIFE of a Doctor: Gastroenterologist + Advanced Endoscopy

My 5 year old son was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Is there a diet plan you would recommend? I try and find options online but every website seems to give different answers. I would appreciate it very much! Thank you!!

How much do you earn ??

You look so young and youthful! How old are you?

Ok I have a question about 7 months ago at least two times a week after dinner I would feel like I really need to throw up. But then it stopped for a while but then 4 months ago it started again but everyday. What should I do?

hey Dr austin,how many hours do you work on average per week?

Great work!
One question, Doc. After watery stools for 3 days, is the ORS need to be taken after diarrhea resolves? provided that the ORS was taken after every watery stools.

What is sad is I trust my GI Doctor over my pcp I have IBS

Do you perform any Hiatal Hernia repairs? And if so, how do repair them?

Do you have any idea of what gastrointestinal problem I may have? I completely lost my appetite, I feel a stuck and heaviness feeling on my left side, and when I suck in and out my stomach, it makes these piglike noises. When I pass stool, it feels exactly the same and no relief. I could go all day and won’t feel the need to eat because I don’t get hunger signals anymore. Also, i don’t eat big meals just small ones. I’ve massaged my stomach and it feels like I have trapped gas bubbles. Do you think it’s trapped gas, a bezoar, or something else? My GI doctor says I have IBS which I really doubt (I don’t get diareah, nausea, just occasional constipation). They’ve done an ultrasound and everything was fine.

Question...I had my bladder removed 10 years ago and have had diarrhea ever since. I can't eat hardly anything without diarrhea following 15mins - 2 hrs. What could be the problem?

Damn nice editing/footage. I honestly don't know why you don't have more subs!

You sound so busy and I think the best partner/wife for you could be an teacher or a Nurse but they have to work with kids because you look soft and kind. I like Austin.. 😇

Hi there how are you? I need advice so bad my best friend having bad this stomach problem for a long time now. She lost so much weight, she split blood , pee blood she can't eat always in pain all the time and always in and out from hospital the dr. Can't find the problem. I feel so helpless maybe you can give me some advice or maybe know some specialist that I can call to. Thanks for your time

thank you for the video! This calmed my nerves from going to the gi for the first time!

...

I came here from doctor mike

Why do they always show what they eat for breakfast in DITL? I don't think it's necessary, it's not really relevant to the job. This one wasn't that bad, but still, it's wasted time.

I want to become a Gastroenterologist in future, this has inspired me alot, This is awesome! I really enjoyed watching this

does gastroenterologist still need dieticians? if yes, what gastroenterologist cannot perform that only dieticians can?

Im an intern at a gastroenterology station in Germany working under the nurses (but funnily enough, I come from Philly and study medicine!), I watched this to figure out what the doctors at my station spend their day doing, but I believe they have quite a different schedule so I still feel quite in the dark ^^ Covid makes it all confusing too! Oh well!

What a wonderful young man you are. So caring and kind.

Great video but you're using the mouse pad wrong!! Should be the other way round to give wrist support

I have had some symptoms for a long time now and I was 100 percent it was a hiatal hernia. I was telling everyone I know I had a hernia just because of the chronic belching and back pain, neck pain, shortness of breath, bloating, I could not bend over or pick up anything and always feel weak and dizzy all the time and heart papitations like I cant do anything. Today I had a endoscopy and they told me I did not have a hiatal hernia and I am shocked because for the last 4 years I was certain I did because I had every symptom and more. Is it possible it could have been missed on my upper Gi ? The doctor diagnosed me gastritis . Would that be doing all this to me? I burp near about 24/7 Every time I swallow, breathe , or talk I burp. Its so embarrassing. I have to hold the burping in at work and let it out quietly because its so chronic. Would a barium swallow test show a hiatal hernia? I feel so hopeless with this and just really need some anwsers about what might be going on with me. Its hard to talk because i am always so out of breath even when I am not doing anything.

I get this done this month n I’m terrified

Hi 2 questions 1. Austin do GI's perform surgery and also 2. Do they have to work in hospitals or can they have their own private practice ?

Would you have enough time to travel or go on dates with your special loved one on a regular basis?

if you stop drinking coffee - your seborrheic dermatitis will get better

Hopefully you get to see this comment and give me some advice. I have been having flare ups almost every day since early April of this year. It started out of nowhere a healthy person with no known medical conditions. I feel nauseous every night I wake up with a lot of acid reflux tasting a metallic taste in my mouth a lot of dry heaving and feeling like I’m going to throw up and nothing ever comes out. I have been depending on tumms and although they help these episodes typically last for about twenty minutes these flare ups mess with my sleep. I also have this feeling to poop every time I have these episodes and feel super bloated I find myself rubbing my stomach especially where my spleen and liver are. That’s where the pain is at and the feeling of being nauseous is the worst I find myself talking and saying why am I feeling so nauseous it feels like my stomach is dirty and I just want whatever it is to leave me alone and to go away. I was on pills for acid reflux and none of them helped so now I don’t take medication and I feel like my symptoms have gotten worse. They diagnosed me with gastritis and fatty liver. But they said my blood work is fine but I have no stomach pain. My pain starts from the throat down to my liver. Please help.

Thank you, Austin for sharing this fantastic journey in your career. Keep up the good work!

I love him ever since they made a tiktok video describing poop... hahhaha

I didn't have to see all the diplomas and board certifications... I knew you had it all together when you mentioned French Press coffee. That's what God had in mind when he made coffee.

Thank you, Austin, I'm studying residency program in gastroenterology

Please make a video how to become GI doctor and the residency process?

I want to be like you when I grow up a gastroenterologist. I’m 14 yrs old and still in high school. Also is there a difference between gastrologist and gastroenterologist?

Can i eat banana after open appendectomy (perforated appendicitis) done on 10dec 2022, its been 75 days since my surgery done and also please kindly suggest from when can i drive bike and pray namaz because in namaz there is bending action performed

I took a shit at work earlier. I wiped myself and everything was good. Then I got up, tried to fart, and liquid shit got on my pants! Not a good day!

USA?

Damn doc that is a lot of work

rinse and repeat lol

i’m always shocked that in america everyone’s under GA. In the UK we have conscious sedation so i’m always awake just slightly sedated, had 30 odd scopes at this point for feeding tubes and iv ither had sedation or had non and been totally awake hahah

Hello.
I don't have a doctor and I don't know who to ask.
Did the spit test, resulted POSITIVE. Did the urine lab-test 3 days after, and resulted NEGATIVE. Did spit test again, Positive again. Do I have stomach candida?
I do have a yeast infection on my left arm though.

Thank you so much for sharing, Dr. Chiang! How much flexibility in scheduling procedure vs clinic days do you feel that advanced endoscopists have? Is it a field that would be conducive to a work-life balance if that's what one would desire (of course associated with some form of a pay cut)?

Hi! Did you find anything surprising about my life as a doctor? Let me know!
