Grace L. Burns is a Gastroenterologist based in New Lambton Heights, Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
In general, Grace’s work is focused on the gut. That can mean everyday things like ongoing indigestion, bloating, and stomach discomfort. It can also mean longer-lasting gut issues that affect how you feel day to day.
Common problems Grace helps with include Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and diarrhoea, as well as diverticular disease. Coeliac disease is also part of the picture, along with issues that can lead to malabsorption. At times, people also need help when their digestive tract is moving in an unhelpful way, such as with gastric dysmotility.
There are also conditions where the gut lining can get inflamed or react strongly. Grace looks after issues such as gastritis and oesophagitis, and conditions linked to food reactions like eosinophilic enteropathy and eosinophilic oesophagitis. Food allergy and grass allergy are included here too, which matters for some people who notice symptoms after certain exposures.
Depending on the case, Grace may also be involved with problems like small bowel bacterial overgrowth. And for some patients, there are gut-related infections like viral gastroenteritis, where the focus is on getting symptoms under control and supporting recovery.
Other conditions listed on this profile include cerebral hypoxia and pneumonia. While these aren’t “typical gut-only” problems, they can still come up in real life when the overall health picture is more complex.
