Lilian Kow is a Gastroenterologist based in Bedford Park, Adelaide (SA 5042). She looks after people with ongoing gut and stomach issues, as well as those who need help around bowel and reflux problems. Based in Adelaide, she brings a calm, practical approach to appointments, especially when symptoms have been hanging around for a while.
In her day-to-day work, Lilian focuses on conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia. These can feel uncomfortable and can mess with sleep, eating, and everyday life. She also cares for reflux in infants, where worries can build quickly for families, and where getting things explained clearly matters just as much as the medical care.
Another big part of her practice is digestive health for people living with obesity, including obesity in children. She also supports patients who are preparing for, or recovering from, weight-loss surgery such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. For many people, these journeys are not just about weight. There are diet changes, follow-up appointments, and learning what to expect long term. Lilian works through those steps with patients in a straightforward way.
She also looks after stomach and liver-related issues that can travel together with weight and metabolism. This can include nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and how gut health connects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Over time, she helps patients make sense of symptoms and checks that the right tests and treatment steps are in place.
Endoscopy is part of her care too. These procedures can sound scary, but in many cases they’re the best way to understand what’s going on inside. Lilian focuses on making the process easier to handle, talking through what will happen and why it’s needed, so people feel more comfortable on the day.
If you’re after ongoing digestive care in Adelaide, Lilian Kow may be a good fit. Her practice covers common and not-so-common stomach problems, with special attention to reflux, obesity-related digestive concerns, and endoscopy-led diagnosis and follow-up.
