Gastrointestinal Diseases

Gastrointestinal diseases are conditions that affect the digestive organs. These include the stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), esophagus, and rectum. Common gastrointestinal diseases include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Gastrointestinal diseases can cause a wide array of symptoms, from mild digestive discomfort to life-threatening complications. Treatment for gastrointestinal diseases depends on the type and severity of the condition but can include dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, medications, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing any symptoms of gastrointestinal disease.
