Treatment overview

Severe functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders — now termed disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) by international expert bodies — are well-recognised medical conditions in which the digestive system does not function normally despite appearing structurally intact on endoscopy, scans, and blood tests. They include conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, chronic functional abdominal pain, and cyclic vomiting syndrome, among others. Symptoms such as daily abdominal pain, severe bloating, nausea, and unpredictable bowel habits can be as disabling as structural GI disease. Management is multidimensional and long-term, combining targeted dietary changes, symptom-specific medications, gut-brain therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy or hypnotherapy, and specialist multidisciplinary follow-up. The goal is not necessarily complete symptom elimination but meaningful, sustained reduction in severity, flare frequency, and impact on daily life.

4 approaches available for this treatment / procedure:

Dietary Management Programme Symptom-Targeted Medication Management Gut-Brain Therapy Programme Multidisciplinary Specialist Programme

Dietary Management Programme

A structured, supervised dietary intervention — including the low-FODMAP protocol or gastroparesis-specific nutrition plan — delivered by a specialist GI dietitian to reduce symptom triggers through food.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500

Typical tests: CBC and CRP, Thyroid function test, Coeliac disease antibody screen (anti-tTG IgA), Faecal calprotectin, Hydrogen breath test for lactose intolerance or SIBO, Blood sugar and HbA1c, Serum B12, folate, and iron studies. Done in India before admission.

Treatment / Procedure estimate

Estimated cost in India: $500 – $1,000

Treatment Duration

Treatment duration in India: ~2 weeks (~5 hospital visit days across the full span)

Treatment Plan Initial comprehensive dietitian consultation plus two to three follow-up OPD visits over approximately two weeks to assess dietary response, begin structured reintroduction, and personalise the long-term plan. Patient continues the personalised diet at home after discharge.

Usually Included in Treatment Package

Gastroenterologist specialist consultation and diagnosis review
Pre-treatment diagnostic workup (blood tests, stool tests, breath tests as applicable)
Comprehensive dietitian assessment and tailored dietary plan
Two to three follow-up dietitian review sessions
Routine follow-up consultations during the India stay

Symptom-Targeted Medication Management

A personalised medication regimen — antispasmodics, prokinetics, laxatives, antiemetics, acid suppressants, or low-dose neuromodulators — chosen to match the patient's dominant gut symptoms.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500

Typical tests: CBC and CRP, Thyroid function test, Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT) and electrolytes, Coeliac antibody screen, Faecal calprotectin, ECG (if tricyclic neuromodulator is being considered), Blood sugar and HbA1c. Done in India before admission.

Estimated cost in India: $750 – $2,000

Treatment Duration

Treatment duration in India: ~3 weeks (~6 hospital visit days across the full span)

Dose adjustments are made at each visit. Patient continues the regimen at home with a remote follow-up schedule.

Usually Included in Treatment Package

Gastroenterologist specialist consultation and diagnosis review
Pre-treatment diagnostic workup (blood tests, stool tests, breath tests as applicable)
Initial one- to two-month supply of prescribed medications
Two to three follow-up consultations for dose titration and response assessment

Gut-Brain Therapy Programme

Structured psychological therapies — gut-directed cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or gut-directed hypnotherapy — that target the gut-brain axis directly to reduce chronic gut pain, urgency, and symptom-related anxiety.

I can honestly say that my experience seeking treatment abroad was nothing short of exceptional, and it really highlighted just how disappointing my experience with the NHS had been in comparison. After facing long delays, lack of clear communication, and a general feeling of being overlooked in the UK system, making the decision to travel overseas for care felt like a last resort—but it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with a level of professionalism and efficiency that immediately put me at ease. The hospital itself was spotless, modern, and incredibly well-organised. There was no sense of chaos or long waiting around; every appointment, test, and consultation was arranged promptly and ran exactly on time. It felt like the entire system was built around patient care and comfort, rather than patients having to fit into an overstretched system. The medical team were outstanding. Every doctor and nurse I interacted with took the time to listen carefully, explain things clearly, and make sure I fully understood my treatment plan. I never once felt rushed or dismissed. Instead, I felt genuinely cared for and respected, which made a huge difference during what was already a stressful time. One of the standout parts of the entire experience was the support we received from Natasha, our international client coordinator. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. She organised appointments, helped with paperwork, arranged transport, and was always available whenever we had questions or concerns. Her communication was excellent, and she made what could have been a very overwhelming experience feel simple and manageable. Natasha didn’t just do her job—she genuinely cared. She checked in on us regularly, made sure we were comfortable, and provided reassurance every step of the way. Having someone like her there made a huge difference, especially being in a foreign country where things can easily feel unfamiliar or stressful. Overall, the level of care, attention, and efficiency we experienced abroad was on a completely different level. It’s frustrating to say, but the contrast with the NHS was stark. Where we had previously faced delays and uncertainty, we instead found clarity, speed, and genuine compassion. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone considering treatment abroad. The quality of care, combined with the incredible support from staff like Natasha, made what could have been a difficult experience into a very positive one. I’m truly grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to make the same decision again if needed.
