Gastrointestinal Diseases
Gastrointestinal diseases involve disorders of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Common types of gastrointestinal diseases include irritable bowel syndrome, peptic ulcers, gastroenteritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. These diseases can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and changes in bowel movements. Treatment depends on the type of disease and may include dietary changes, medication, and in some cases, surgery. Improving understanding of gastrointestinal diseases is important as they are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
