I give 100 points to everyone who answered Gastroenterologist. This is an MD who specializes in diseases and disorders of the digestive system which begins at the mouth and ends at the anus. I've never heard of an Enterologist.

Actually, I think this sounds like a general internist kind of problem. Specialist in the area of gastroenterology might be able to help, if an internist can't.

An Internist (doctor of internal medicine) or a gastroenterologist would be my suggestion.

A specialist would be a gastroenteoligist (GI) specialist or your internist can refer you to someone else.
