About of Marjorie M. Walker

Marjorie M. Walker is a gastroenterologist based in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. She looks after people with ongoing gut and digestion issues, and also helps with checks when symptoms need a closer look.


Most visits are about everyday problems that can still really affect day to day life. Marjorie helps people with indigestion, heartburn, reflux and GERD, and the flare-ups that come with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. At times, she also reviews reflux and ulcer symptoms linked to Helicobacter pylori infection.


She also works with bowel conditions. That includes diarrhoea and colitis, and bowel changes that fit with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). For some people, the main concern is diverticular disease, while others may have Crohn’s disease and longer-term inflammation in the gut.


Malabsorption issues are another key part of her work. This can involve Celiac disease, small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and ongoing digestive symptoms where food isn’t being absorbed the way it should. She also sees people with problems affecting the way the stomach moves, such as gastroparesis and gastric dysmotility.


Some patients need help with allergy-related gut conditions too. Marjorie treats eosinophilic problems in the food pipe and gut, including eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic colitis, and eosinophilic enteropathy. She may also assess symptoms like persistent swallowing discomfort and inflammation in the upper digestive tract, including oesophagitis.


To get answers, she provides endoscopy and colonoscopy. These procedures help her look directly at the gut lining, check what’s going on, and guide next steps. In many cases, that means finding the cause of symptoms, or ruling out issues that need different treatment.


Information about her experience, education, research, and any clinical trials isn’t listed here. What is clear is her focus on digestive health, from reflux and bowel troubles through to conditions that need careful investigation using endoscopy or colonoscopy.
