About the disease & condition
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases affect the digestive tract, including the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Common conditions include acid reflux, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can interfere with nutrient absorption. Causes may include infections, poor diet, stress, or genetic predisposition.
