If you have scheduled a consultation with a gastroenterologist, please keep the following in mind:
1. Do not eat or drink anything, including coffee, for at least 4 hours before the examination.
2. Take your regular medications (if any) with a small sip of water.
3. Bring any previous medical documentation—such as discharge summaries, test results, and prescriptions—organized in chronological order.
4. Prepare a complete list of the medications you are currently taking at home, as the doctor will ask about them.
5. You may also wish to write down any questions you would like to discuss during your appointment.
