Gordon S. Howarth is a gastroenterologist based in Mawson Lakes, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
In clinic, Dr Howarth looks after people who have gut and bowel problems, and also helps with issues that can cause ongoing pain or changes in bowel habits. This can include things like viral gastroenteritis, colitis and ulcerative colitis, and at times problems such as haemorrhagic proctocolitis. He also supports patients who are dealing with suspected or confirmed colorectal cancer, where getting the right tests and next steps really matters.
Many appointments involve working out what’s going on before treatment starts. At times, this will mean organising endoscopy or a colonoscopy. These tests can help doctors see inside the gut and bowel, and they can also guide decisions about care. If symptoms are sudden or uncomfortable, like acute pain, that’s also something Dr Howarth helps with, making sure people are assessed properly and not left guessing.
Day to day, gastro issues can be stressful, especially when symptoms come and go. Over time, Dr Howarth has built experience through regular gastroenterology care, including supporting people with ongoing inflammatory conditions. There are also less common but serious situations that may come up, such as myoglobinuria (recurrent), rhabdomyolysis, and necrosis. When these are in the picture, care needs to be timely and carefully coordinated.
Information about Dr Howarth’s education and qualifications isn’t listed in this profile, so it isn’t something that can be confirmed here. The same goes for detailed research work and any involvement in clinical trials. If you’d like to know what training or research background is available, it’s best to ask the clinic directly.
For people in and around Adelaide who want calm, practical gastro care, Dr Howarth is available in Mawson Lakes, with a focus on tests like colonoscopy and endoscopy and on getting clearer answers for gut-related conditions.
