About of Tenghao Zheng

Tenghao Zheng is a Gastroenterologist based in Melbourne, VIC, Australia. He looks after people with ongoing gut symptoms and helps work out what’s going on, then guides treatment step by step. Digestive health can be hard to live with, especially when symptoms keep coming back. In many cases, the right plan makes a real difference.


His clinic care covers a range of bowel and digestive conditions. This includes colitis, like collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis, where the bowel lining gets inflamed and can lead to long-lasting diarrhoea. He also sees patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS can be uncomfortable and stressful, and symptoms can change day to day.


Dr Zheng also helps manage persistent diarrhoea and related gut issues. Sometimes symptoms are linked to specific triggers, and other times they can be more complex. He focuses on getting clear answers through careful assessment, then working out practical options that fit with everyday life.


On the stomach side, he treats gastroparesis. That’s when the stomach doesn’t empty as it should, which can cause nausea, feeling full quickly, and trouble with meals. People often describe it as a slow, frustrating cycle, and treatment usually needs a steady approach, not quick fixes.


He also cares for children and adults with congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. This condition affects how the gut breaks down certain sugars, so meals can become a big problem. Management often means making smart changes to diet and timing, along with ongoing support.


While digestive symptoms are the main focus, his work also includes looking after hypertension. Health problems like high blood pressure can affect the whole body, and it helps when care is considered as a whole, not just one area.


Overall, Dr Zheng’s experience is in managing digestive and bowel conditions where symptoms can linger. If you’re dealing with diarrhoea, bowel inflammation, IBS, gastroparesis, or sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, he can help you sort out what’s likely causing your symptoms and map out a plan for relief.
