Peter A. Bampton is a Gastroenterologist based in Flinders Drive, Bedford Park, Adelaide, SA 5042, Australia.
Peter looks after people with gut health concerns, from long-term bowel conditions to one-off problems that need a proper check. Many patients come in with symptoms like ongoing diarrhoea, tummy discomfort, bloating, or changes in bowel habits. In many cases, he helps work out what’s going on and then plans the next steps with care and clear explanations.
His work covers conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, as well as colitis and inflammatory bowel issues like haemorrhagic proctocolitis. He also helps with bowel and gut problems that don’t always fall into one clear bucket, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For people dealing with bowel inflammation or flare-ups, he focuses on steady treatment choices and practical follow-up, because gut symptoms can be hard to live with day to day.
Peter also treats problems in the oesophagus and stomach area, including Barrett oesophagus. When heartburn or swallowing issues raise concern, an assessment can make a real difference, especially when there’s a higher risk situation involved.
Colorectal cancer is another important part of his practice. He works with patients who need checks and support around prevention and early detection. If there’s a family history, he can also help guide discussions for people with familial or hereditary colorectal cancer concerns.
Endoscopy is a key tool in his clinic. He provides services like colonoscopy and endoscopy to look inside and confirm what’s happening. These tests can be used to investigate symptoms, monitor bowel disease, and help guide treatment decisions over time.
Peter treats a range of other conditions too, including viral gastroenteritis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. He also works with people managing obesity, and in some cases supports care for individuals after a kidney transplant, where gut health can be affected by medication and overall health changes.
He keeps up to date with current care for gut conditions, and he aims to make each step feel straightforward. If you’re unsure where to start, Peter can help sort out what matters most and what to do next.
