Case studies
How difficult digestive and liver problems were actually solved — presentation, approach, outcome, and the lesson. Representative patients; identifying details changed.
Severe pancreatitis: a month in hospital, a full recovery
A woman in her 40s with severe acute pancreatitis — organ dysfunction, weeks in hospital, and a family told to prepare for the worst elsewhere.
Intestinal bleeding diagnosed in two days after nine days elsewhere
An elderly woman admitted at another hospital for nine days with falling haemoglobin and no diagnosis, transferred to PSRI.
IBS with weight loss after five gastroenterologists
A young professional from Gurgaon with two years of cramps, bloating, loose stools and weight loss, and five previous consultations.
Grade 2–3 fatty liver with a raised FibroScan, reversed in a year
A man in his 30s frightened by a 'grade 3' ultrasound report and a FibroScan of 9 kPa, told elsewhere he was heading for cirrhosis.
Twenty years of laxatives ended with six biofeedback sessions
A retired teacher dependent on daily stimulant laxatives and enemas, with straining and incomplete evacuation since her 40s.
What these cases have in common
- A careful history before any test
- The one test that settles it — capsule, manometry, breath test, FibroScan — rather than repeating the ones that were normal
- Time spent explaining, because reassurance is treatment too
- Follow-up until the problem is actually solved
