01 What's inside

Everything in gastroenterology, in one place.

Five areas. A cited guideline assistant, point-of-care tools and scores, an evidence-synthesis workbench, a monthly journals feed, and an advanced-endoscopy toolkit.

02 The assistant

Answers drawn straight from the guidelines.

Ask a clinical question. The assistant retrieves the relevant passages and replies in two parts, a concise clinical summary followed by the verbatim quotes and page numbers behind it. It notes when societies differ, and when the retrieved evidence is insufficient.

Example query
First episode of severe Clostridioides difficile. What is the preferred antibiotic, and for how long?
The reply names the preferred agent and duration, the vancomycin alternative, and what changes if the course is fulminant, with each point attributed to its guideline and page number.
Limited to the source text

The assistant answers only from retrieved guideline passages. When nothing relevant is found, it says so plainly.

Scope to one society

Restrict answers to a single guideline when you need that body's specific position, ACG, BSG or the task force.

03 The sources

34 GI guidelines, each linked to its primary source.

The society guidelines and recommendation statements behind every tool and answer.

04 Common questions

Questions, answered.

What is The Gastroenterologist?

The Gastroenterologist is a free decision-support reference for gastroenterology. It brings the major society guidelines, validated risk scores, screening and eradication pathways, 650 sourced landmark trials, and a cited assistant into one place. It is educational and does not replace clinical judgment.

Which society guidelines does it cover?

It draws on recommendations from the AGA, ACG, ASGE, BSG, USMSTF, USPSTF, and WGO, spanning reflux and Barrett's esophagus, eosinophilic esophagitis, dyspepsia and motility, IBS, celiac disease, H. pylori, C. difficile, GI bleeding, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease, and colorectal cancer screening.

Are the clinical scores and pathways validated?

Yes. The calculators implement published, validated instruments, including the Glasgow-Blatchford and AIMS65 scores for GI bleeding, BISAP for acute pancreatitis, the Harvey-Bradshaw index and partial Mayo score for IBD, Rome IV for IBS, and the USMSTF and USPSTF colorectal screening pathways. Every result links to the source that defines it.

Where do the 650 landmark trials come from?

Each entry is a randomized controlled trial verified against PubMed. The result, effect size, and quoted finding are copied from the published abstract and linked to the trial's DOI, its PubMed record, and its ClinicalTrials.gov registration where one exists.

Does it cover liver disease?

Gastroenterology questions are answered here. For hepatology, including cirrhosis, viral hepatitis, fatty liver, and esophageal varices, the assistant points you to our sister site Hepatophile.
